Furthermore, it challenges the prevailing narrative that the Huanan market served as the origin of the virus, drawing attention to negative SARS-CoV-2 tests in animals, the absence of precursor sequences, the dominance of lineage B, and evidence of viral circulation by September to October 2019, well before the market cases were reported (Bloom, 2023; Caraballo-Ortiz et al., 2022; Samson et al., 2024).AI Verified (Mar 2026)

The quote directly argues that the Huanan market-origin narrative is unsupported, which is directly relevant to the statement about whether the market clustering reflects origin rather than detection bias.

The sentence is real and verbatim, but the stored attribution is wrong. On the submitted ResearchGate URL, the sentence appears only as ResearchGate’s snippet for a different report, “The Pangolin (Coronavirus) Papers,” not as part of the March 12, 2026 “A Critical Examination of Three Related Studies on SARS-CoV-2 Origins” report. The actual quote source lists Billy Bostickson as the sole author, DRASTIC as affiliation, and April 2025 as the date, and the PDF repeats the sentence in its executive summary.
