Disputed The quote matches the abstract text of PMID 41535569 on PubMed/PMC, including the GISAID, BEAST, and Kenya-origin sentences. However, the paper is a multi-author study (Nabisubi et al., with Eva Akurut as one coauthor), so it is not correctly attributable as a single-author quote to Eva Akurut alone. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17 · 20d ago
