Coauthor of a 2026 Open COVID Journal meta-analysis on scientific consensus and COVID-19 origins
A vast body of peer-reviewed genetic, virological, and epidemiological evidence strongly supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through natural evolutionary processes through the zoonotic spillover rather than laboratory manipulation.Disputed (Mar 9, 2026)

Quote text appears in the cited Open COVID Journal paper, but the source is a multi-author scientific paper and does not support attributing the line solely to C.O. Afolabi.

The sentence appears verbatim in section 4.2 of the PDF at the supplied URL: “A vast body of peer-reviewed genetic, virological, and epidemiological evidence strongly supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through natural evolutionary processes through the zoonotic spillover rather than laboratory manipulation.” The PDF and journal page show the article was electronically published on March 09, 2026. However, the source attributes the article to C.O Afolabi plus 18 coauthors, not to C.O Afolabi alone; because this platform cannot verify a multi-author journal article as a single-author quote, the stored attribution is disputed.
