Comment by COVID's origins: what we do and don't know
Nature Comment article on COVID-19 origins published February 24, 2026.
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.AI Verified (Feb 24, 2026)

The quote says the peer-reviewed evidence supports a zoonotic origin, which directly opposes the lab-leak statement.

The exact text appears on the UNMC source URL (published Feb. 25, 2026) and in Nature’s Comment article dated 24 February 2026. But Nature lists Jean-Claude Manuguerra as one of 23 named co-authors of the piece, not the sole author/speaker, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by him.
