Comment by Andrew Pekosz
Virologist and coauthor of an ASM commentary on SARS-CoV-2 origins and lab-leak claims
Some have been unfairly accused of being part of an international cover-up or accused of taking bribes from NIH. Yet more scientists have been attacked for using objectively gathered data to conclude that zoonosis is the most likely origin of the pandemic or for simply engaging in communication of the evidence with the media and the general public.Disputed (Aug 1, 2024)

Primary source is the 41-author Journal of Virology commentary by Alwine et al.; this is commentary prose, not a statement attributable to Andrew Pekosz alone. Multi-author journal-article text is not a verifiable single-author quote.

The supplied URL does contain the quote verbatim in the body of the article. The ASM Journal of Virology page shows the exact sentences and lists the work as published online on 2024-08-01 (issue date 2024-09-17). However, the source is a multi-author commentary with 41 named authors led by James Alwine; Andrew Pekosz is only one coauthor, not the sole canonical author. Under the single-author rules for this platform, that makes the stored attribution to Andrew Pekosz alone disputed.
