Comment by S.A Alagbe

Coauthor of a 2026 Open COVID Journal meta-analysis on scientific consensus and COVID-19 origins
A vast body of peer-reviewed genetic, virological, and epidemiological evidence strongly supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through natural evolutionary processes through the zoonotic spillover rather than laboratory manipulation.

Disputed The sentence is real and verbatim in the PDF source, appearing in section 4.2: “A vast body of peer-reviewed genetic, virological, and epidemiological evidence strongly supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through natural evolutionary processes through the zoonotic spillover rather than laboratory manipulation.” However, the paper is not authored by S.A. Alagbe alone: the source lists 19 coauthors, with S.A. Alagbe as one of them, and the journal page gives the electronic publication date as March 09, 2026. Because this platform cannot verify a many-author research article as a single-author quote, the attribution to S.A Alagbe alone is disputed.
