Disputed Nature’s 24 February 2026 Comment article contains this wording as the start of a longer sentence (“...had been there before it was cleaned and sterilized on 1 January 2020...”); however, the source is credited to 23 individual co-authors, with Christian Drosten listed as one of them, not as the sole author. Under this platform’s rules, that makes the stored single-author attribution disputable rather than verifiable.
