Disputed The quoted sentence appears verbatim in the PubMed/PMC abstract for PMID 41535569, and the paper was published online on 2026-01-14. However, the article is a multi-author Scientific Reports paper listing Patricia Nabisubi, Stephen Kanyerezi, Herbert Agasi, and others, so it cannot be verified as a single-author quote attributed solely to Herbert Agasi.
