Coauthor of a 2026 Open COVID Journal meta-analysis on scientific consensus and COVID-19 origins.
The presence of SARS-CoV-2-like viruses in smuggled pangolins from Southeast Asia (segments 379, 394, 448, 353, 226, 234, 538, Supplementary 11) and the possibility of cross-species transmission through wildlife markets or transport routes (segments 440, 452, 439, Supplementary 11) support this hypothesis.

Disputed The quoted wording does appear in the fetched PDF at page 9, lines 1033-1038, though in the source it begins mid-sentence after a comma ("..., the presence of SARS-CoV-2-like viruses..."). However, the article is attributed to multiple authors, and T.I. Adegboyega is listed only as one coauthor rather than the sole speaker/author; this platform cannot verify a multi-author paper as a single-author quote. The article metadata also shows an electronic publication date of 2026-03-09.
