Comment by Normand Labbé
Biosafety specialist and coauthor of the 2026 Nature commentary on COVID-19 origins
We also know that the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan had a significant role in the early transmission and initial spread of the virus. These animals could have been the intermediate hosts that brought the virus to the market, leading to the early cases in humans.Disputed (Feb 24, 2026)

The source URL is a Nature Comment published on 2026-02-24, and it does contain both component sentences; however, they are not a single verbatim passage. The article places intervening text between “We also know that the Huanan Seafood Market...” and “These animals could have been the intermediate hosts...”, so the stored quote is stitched together without indicating omitted text (for example, with [...]). The attribution is also not single-author: Nature lists 23 named coauthors, including Normand Labbé as one coauthor, not the sole speaker/author. Under this platform’s rules, that makes the quote disputed rather than verifiable as a single-author quote. ([nature.com](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00530-y?utm_source=openai))
