This new WHO report claims that the origins of COVID-19 remain unresolved, with the Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO) asserting that current evidence still supposedly points to a likely zoonotic spillover — suggesting the virus jumped from animals to humans, possibly through an intermediate host. However, the panel also emphasized that key data needed to fully assess all hypotheses, including the possibility of a lab leak, has not been shared by China, hindering a definitive conclusion.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stresses that “all hypotheses must remain on the table” and has appealed to China to provide missing information, such as genetic sequences from early patients, detailed data on animals sold at Wuhan markets, and specifics about lab research and safety conditions at facilities like the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The report comes amid renewed scrutiny of early pandemic narratives, including revelations that influential scientific publications dismissing the lab leak theory were reportedly encouraged by the former director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci, to support the idea of a natural origin.
