Comment by Nada Ghosn

Epidemiologist and coauthor of the 2026 Nature commentary on COVID-19 origins
In the meantime, with the politicization and speculation around the origin of the pandemic showing no signs of abating, 23 of us mark the close of SAGO's first chapter by clarifying our position on the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the science behind it in a more accessible way.

Disputed The quote is real and appears verbatim on the UNMC page, which reposts/excerpts a Nature comment, and the original Nature article dated 2026-02-24 contains the same text. But Nature attributes the piece to 23 individual coauthors—including Nada Ghosn—rather than to Nada Ghosn alone, and the UNMC repost itself is dated 2026-02-25. Because this is a multi-author article rather than a single named author/document, I cannot verify it here as a single-author quote.
