Our analyses indicate that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 occurred via the live wildlife trade in China, and show that the Huanan market was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.Disputed (Jul 26, 2022)

The Science source is a multi-author paper by Worobey et al., so this cannot be verified as a single-author quote attributable solely to Michael Worobey.

Disputed. The sentence is real in the article’s abstract, but the exact wording is "our analyses indicate that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 occurred through the live wildlife trade in China," not "via," so the stored quote is not verbatim. Also, the source is a multi-author paper credited to Michael Worobey plus 17 coauthors, not to Michael Worobey alone, and this platform does not verify such cases as single-author quotes. The paper was published online on 2022-07-26; the journal issue date is 2022-08-26. ([eprints.gla.ac.uk](https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/275632/1/275632.pdf))
