Disputed The quoted sentence appears verbatim in the supplied PLOS Medicine article, and the page shows it was published on February 9, 2021. However, the source is a multi-author research article listing eight individual authors—Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang—so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by Yiju Zhang alone.
