In the 78-page document, we determined that most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 has a zoonotic origin, meaning that it came from an animal. But until requests for additional information are met or more data become available, there can be no certainty about when, where and how SARS-CoV-2 entered the human population.

Disputed The quote is real and appears verbatim on the UNMC page dated 2026-02-25, but that page presents it as a Nature excerpt and includes a fair-use note saying UNMC displays brief excerpts of published articles with credit to the source publication. The underlying Nature article was published on 2026-02-24 and is authored by 23 named SAGO members, not by the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Because this is a multi-author article rather than a single-author or organization-authored statement, the stored attribution is not canonical and this platform cannot convert it into a verified single-author quote. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1h ago
