CNRS evolutionary biologist in Paris studying the origins and early spread of SARS-CoV-2.
The results point to the Huanan market as the early epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic, together with myriad additional lines of evidence overlooked by SC2024, including crucial epidemiological information.

Disputed At the source URL, the arXiv abstract page lists this as a paper submitted on 2024-03-09 with two authors, Florence Débarre and Michael Worobey. The abstract’s actual sentence starts "Our results directly contradict SC2024's" and later says "point to the Huanan market as the early epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic"; the submitted quote rearranges that wording, so it is not verbatim. It is also not a single-author quote attributable to Florence Débarre alone because the source is a co-authored paper.
