Comment by Marion P. G. Koopmans
Virologist at Erasmus MC and coauthor of the Huanan market SARS-CoV-2 emergence study
This pattern was stronger in cases without, rather than with, identified epidemiological links to the Huanan market, consistent with SARS-CoV-2 community transmission starting in the surrounding area.Disputed (Feb 26, 2022)

The Zenodo source is a multi-author Worobey et al. preprint, so this cannot be verified as a single-author quote attributable solely to Marion P. G. Koopmans.

An exact match for the sentence is reproduced as part of the abstract of the Zenodo preprint “The Huanan market was the epicenter of SARS-CoV-2 emergence” in contemporaneous coverage pointing to that same Zenodo preprint, and the Zenodo record itself shows a February 26, 2022 publication with 18 named authors, including Marion P. G. Koopmans. But the source is a multi-author paper, not a statement attributed to Koopmans alone, so this is a misattributed single-author quote on this platform.
