Disputed The science.org DOI page was not fetchable here, but the same DOI’s version-of-record PDF mirrored by Edinburgh Research Explorer shows the abstract sentence with different wording—“through the live wildlife trade in China,” not the submitted “via ...”—and the paper has many named coauthors, not Michael Worobey alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote; the article was published online on 2022-07-26.
