The quote is directly on the same causal question as the statement: it says Worobey’s research points to the Huanan market as the source of the initial outbreak, not merely a place where cases were later amplified. In the cited article, that is presented as evidence that the early case cluster reflects origin rather than a misleading concentration from later detection alone, so a stance on the complete statement is determinable.

The quote supports the statement: it says Worobey’s research suggests the Huanan market “was the source of the initial outbreak” and “not just” a later amplification site, implying the early-case clustering reflects the outbreak’s origin rather than merely where attention/testing was focused.
