Disputed The source URL’s PMC copy of the Science article contains this sentence in essentially the same place, but the exact text includes “(supplementary text)” after “lineage B virus.” More importantly, the article is a multi-author paper credited to Jonathan E. Pekar et al., with Jade C. Wang listed as one coauthor rather than the sole speaker, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Jade C. Wang quote.
