Directly relevant: it explicitly addresses the lab-leak vs. zoonotic-spillover origin question, and in context WHO uses it to say neither side is settled and both hypotheses remain open. That makes an abstaining/uncertain stance on the complete statement substantially more likely and therefore determinable.

The quote is explicitly neutral: it says "all hypotheses must remain on the table," naming both zoonotic spillover and lab leak, so it does not endorse a lab origin rather than spillover; the WHO page also notes SAGO said the available evidence suggests zoonotic spillover.

The official WHO news release dated 2025-06-27 contains the exact sentence, “As things stand, all hypotheses must remain on the table, including zoonotic spillover and lab leak.” It is directly attributed there to Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, so the quote is authentic, verbatim, and correctly linked to the provided source URL.
