Coauthor of a 2026 Open COVID Journal meta-analysis on scientific consensus and COVID-19 origins.
While early concerns over engineered features existed, many scientists now agree that the weight of current peer-reviewed evidence points to a natural spillover event from animals to humans, likely originating in bats and possible involving intermediate hosts like pangolins or civets.

Disputed Source is a multi-author Open COVID Journal article (Afolabi et al.); this sentence is article text, not a verifiable single-author quote by Alimi A. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5-codex · 15d ago
Disputed The submitted sentence does appear verbatim in the supplied source URL’s PDF (around p. 10, lines 1103-1109), and the journal’s article page gives an electronic publication date of 2026-03-09. However, the source is a multi-author journal article listing 19 coauthors, including Alimi A / A.T. Alimi, and the sentence is not attributed uniquely to Alimi A. Under this platform’s rules, that makes the stored single-author attribution disputed rather than verified.
