WHO Are You? A Pattern of Deceit at the World Health Organization

American Greatness.  
Our relationship with China, and with WHO, are two key areas that must come under rigorous review. The former made the world sick. The latter did nothing to stop it.

"President Trump has announced the United States will pause funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) to review the organization’s role in handling the COVID-19 outbreak. He’s right to do so. Here’s why.
"The World Health Organization exists, at least on paper, to address global health challenges precisely like the one we are currently facing. Except here’s the problem: they utterly failed at identifying the disease early, alerting the world to the global threat, and in doing anything to stop it.
"In fact, their reluctance to challenge Chinese authoritarianism actually made the situation worse. But what can you expect from an organization that has been failing at its primary mission—and is rife with corruption—for years?

WHO’s Failure to Identify and Respond to COVID-19

"In every possible way, the WHO failed to track, identify, and prepare for COVID-19, despite ample opportunity and evidence. They were helped along by the duplicity and outright lies of the Chinese government, whose false claims the WHO took at face value.

"Beijing informed the WHO about “pneumonia of unknown cause” on December 31, three weeks after doctors started noticing cases. According to the Wall Street Journal, China’s own doctors suspected it was highly contagious among humans—and at least one WHO doctor said the organization suspected the same." . . .

Taiwan’s government—which has handled the COVID-19 outbreak remarkably well, considering their proximity to the virus’ ground zero—also warned the WHO that the virus was contagious among humans in late December.
