Comment by Jonathan E. Pekar
Computational biologist and first author on studies of SARS-CoV-2 molecular epidemiology and zoonotic origins

The sentence appears verbatim in the paper, but the source is a multi-author article (Pekar, Magee, Parker, et al.), so it is not correctly attributable to Jonathan E. Pekar alone. The article/paper was first released on 2022-07-26, matching the supplied date. ([escholarship.org](https://escholarship.org/content/qt2sz9s0gw/qt2sz9s0gw.pdf?utm_source=openai))
