Coauthor of a 2026 Open COVID Journal meta-analysis on scientific consensus and COVID-19 origins
These findings were consistent across multiple sentiment analysis tools (Bing, Loughran, Syuzhet, NRC, and VADER), confirming that the lab-leak narrative tends to be discussed more negatively, which provides a robustness of the main AFINN results, while Natural Origin narratives tend toward more positive sentiment.

Disputed The source URL does contain the submitted sentence verbatim in the article’s abstract/PDF, and the article’s electronic publication date is March 9, 2026. However, the paper is credited to many individual coauthors (including C.O. Afolabi, J.D. Adekunle, M.I. Oyeniran, and others), so J.D. Adekunle is not the sole canonical author of the quoted text. Per this platform’s rules for multi-author works, that makes the stored single-author attribution disputed.
