Disputed The exact sentence is reproduced as part of the abstract for Study 1, “The Huanan market was the epicenter of SARS-CoV-2 emergence,” and Zenodo record 6299116 matches that title, date (February 26, 2022), and the author list, which includes Marc A. Suchard. However, the source is a many-author paper, so this is not verifiable as a quote by Marc A. Suchard alone; the single-author attribution is therefore disputed under this platform’s rules.
