WHO's public statement on what was not provided
- what the source states
- The Director-General's remarks accompanying the report's release stated that hundreds of early sequences, detailed market-animal information, and Wuhan laboratory and biosafety information had not been provided, and that all hypotheses remain on the table.
- what we infer
- The organization's own public framing of its report, which matters because the report is frequently cited as having settled the question in favor of zoonosis. Its head said the opposite about the hypotheses' standing on the day it was published.
- limitations
- A statement of position, not new evidence.
