Comment by Phillip Alviola
Animal biology researcher and coauthor of the 2026 Nature commentary on COVID-19 origins
In the 78-page document, we determined that most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 has a zoonotic origin, meaning that it came from an animal. But until requests for additional information are met or more data become available, there can be no certainty about when, where and how SARS-CoV-2 entered the human population.Disputed (Feb 24, 2026)
