Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the PLOS Medicine article at the cited URL, and that article was published on 2021-02-09. However, the paper credits multiple individual authors—Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang—rather than attributing the sentence to Fanghuan Zhu alone. Under this platform’s rules, a multi-author paper cannot be verified as a single-author quote.
