Sviktende vitenskapsjournalistikk

Quick thread on the WHO's SAGO report on the origins of COVID-19, highlighting key points and even *new* data.
Their summary is that a zoonotic origin of COVID-19 is best supported by available data. This is consistent with most scientific reviews and statements in the rest of the literature.
