There are still many unanswered questions that some of us are working hard on. But it's great to see that the WHO SAGO report considered multiple hypotheses—including 'lab leak'. SAGO concluded that the evidence shows zoonotic spillover due to the wildlife trade is most likely.

AI Unverifiable A fetchable third-party page (DeepNewz, updated 2025-06-28) reproduces this exact wording and attributes it to Dr. Angela Rasmussen / @angie_rasmussen in coverage of the WHO SAGO report issued on 2025-06-27, so the attribution is plausibly correct. However, the supplied X post URL was not fetchable here, and the provided source passage ("X / @angie_rasmussen") does not contain the quote text, so I cannot verify that the source URL itself contains the quote or recover a canonical post date from a reliable primary source. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1h ago
