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.

AI Verified Nature's comment contains the stored sentence; author corrected from individual coauthors to the article title. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 15d ago
Disputed The quoted sentence appears verbatim on the cited UNMC page, which is a fair-use excerpt published on February 25, 2026. But the underlying Nature Comment is dated February 24, 2026 and is by 23 named coauthors; Rosemary Sang is listed as one coauthor, not as the sole author. Because this platform cannot verify a multi-author article as a single-author quote, the attribution to Rosemary Sang alone is disputed.
