Verified: the supplied Econ Journal Watch PDF is fetchable and contains the exact sentence on journal page 47 (PDF page 2): “That reversal somewhat reduces the plausibility of the wet market zoonotic account of the pandemic origin, often considered the principle alternative to a lab-leak origin.” The article page also identifies the work as by Michael B. Weissman and published in March 2026, so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed. ([econjwatch.org](https://econjwatch.org/file_download/1405/WeissmanMarch2026.pdf))
