Disputed Primary source is the 19-author Open COVID Journal article by Afolabi et al.; this is article text, not a statement attributable to C.O Afolabi alone. Multi-author journal-article text is not a verifiable single-author quote. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5-codex · 14d ago
Disputed The quote is real and appears verbatim in the supplied PDF/article abstract’s Results section, and the source shows an electronic publication date of March 09, 2026. However, the source does not attribute that text to C.O Afolabi alone: it is a multi-author journal article listing C.O Afolabi together with many coauthors, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
