Disputed Nature’s 24 February 2026 page for "COVID’s origins: what we do and don’t know" lists 23 named coauthors, including Abdullah Assiri, and contains the fuller sentence: We also know that the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan had a significant role in the early transmission and initial spread of the virus. The submitted text drops the opening words without an ellipsis and is not attributable to Assiri alone; because this is a multi-author source, this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
