Comment by Paul Duprex
Virologist and coauthor of an ASM commentary on SARS-CoV-2 origins and lab-leak claims
This knowledge informs focus and allocation of resources for research and preparedness efforts for the inevitable epidemics and pandemics to come. Outbreak preparedness is a topic that requires a coordinated, evidence-based, global effort, that relies on long-term global partnerships. Diverting attention, effort and resources in response to the unsupported lab leak hypothesis harms the mission of pandemic preparedness.Disputed (Aug 1, 2024)

Source is the 41-author Journal of Virology commentary 'The harms of promoting the lab leak hypothesis for SARS-CoV-2 origins without evidence'; text from that jointly authored paper is not a single-author quote attributable just to Paul Duprex.

The passage does appear in the article’s full text at the ASM source URL; the submitted wording matches except that it drops the inline reference marker “(20)” after “global effort.” However, the source is a 41-author commentary and does not attribute the passage to Paul Duprex alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Paul Duprex quote. PubMed also lists the article as Epub 2024-08-01 with multiple authors. ([journals.asm.org](https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/jvi.01240-24))
