"The most notorious example came in the form of a single tweet from the WHO account on January 14: “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus.” That same day, the Wuhan Health Commission’s public bulletin declared, “We have not found proof for human-to-human transmission.” But by that point even the Chinese government was offering caveats not included in the WHO tweet. “The possibility of limited human-to-human transmission cannot be excluded,” the bulletin said, “but the risk of sustained transmission is low.”
“Even as the WHO under Tedros refused to brand the outbreak as a pandemic for precious weeks and WHO officials repeatedly praised the [Chinese Communist Party] for what we now know was China’s coordinated effort to hide the dangers of the Wuhan virus from the world, the virus spread like wildfire, in no small part because thousands of Chinese citizens continued to travel around the world,”
If this is something short of complicity in a Chinese cover-up—which is what former National Security Adviser John Bolton has alleged of the WHO—it does point to a big vulnerability: The group’s membership includes transparent democracies and authoritarian states and systems in between, which means the information the WHO puts out is only as good as what it’s getting from the likes of Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. North Korea, for instance, has reported absolutely no coronavirus cases, and the WHO isn’t really in a position to say otherwise.
The structure also gives WHO leaders like Tedros an incentive not to anger member states, and this is as true of China as it is of countries with significantly less financial clout."
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump saidTuesday his administration will "halt" U.S. funding to the World Health Organization as it conducts a review of the global organization's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We have deep concerns about whether America's generosity has been put to the best use possible,” the president said in a Rose Garden press conference. “The reality is that the WHO failed to adequately obtain, vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion."
Trump has accused the organization of not moving quickly enough to sound the alarm over COVID-19 and of being too China friendly. He has attacked the agency for advising the U.S. against banning travel from China to other parts of the world amid the outbreak.
"And the World – WHO – World Health got it wrong," the president told reporters at the White House last week. "I mean, they got it very wrong. In many ways, they were wrong. They also minimized the threat very strongly and – not good."
Trump has previously said he was considering cutting WHO funding, but on Tuesday he accused the organization of "severely mismanaging and covering up" the spread of the coronavirus after the initial outbreak in Wuhan,China."
"The U.S. paid $893 million to the WHO during its two-year budget window, according to the organization's website. That money represents about 15% of the WHO's budget.
Established in 1948, the WHO is an autonomous organization that works with the United Nations and is considered part of the U.N. system.
During Tuesday's briefing, the president asked whether it was appropriate to freeze WHO's funding in the middle of a pandemic that has claimed more than 125,000 lives worldwide with over 2 million cases confirmed, according to Johns Hopkins University data."
BTW, the WHO is part of the same UN that is responsible for the completely bogus Climate Accord(which considers China a developing/poor country that does not need to cut CO2 emissions-even though they emit more than double the level of the US and, absurdly GETS money from developed countries).
They obviously are very protective of China.

So we know with 100% certainty where the virus came from.
China totally lied to us and this allowed many, many thousands of infected people from China to travel around the world to infect all the other countries.
The WHO, that is supposed to us authentic facts and science to advise us as the global authority for all countries on health issues..........this one being the most important one of the last century.
They did NOT do this. Instead, at the very least, being completely negligent, not doing their jobs to check into the reality of the massive coronavirus epidemic raging in China in January.
At worse, they made an intentional decision to protect China by trying to cover this up. but how could they be so stupid as to think it could be covered up?
So at best, they were blatantly negligent. At worst, corrupt and stupid.
Those accusations are not overly harsh because hundreds of thousands of people WILL die because of them. They are the WORLD HEALTH Organization. This was their job. THE MOST IMPORTANT job of any organization in the last century.
And to think, the United Nations, which they are a part of has been spending so much of their time focusing on convincing us of the fake climate crisis during the last 4 decades..........while we experience the best weather/climate in the last 1,000 years and a wonderful climate optimum.

PETER JAMES SPIELMANNJune 29, 1989
UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.
He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

To be fair, both the United Nations and World Health Organization do many wonderful things to help make the world a much better place for poor people.
However, with regards to the completely fake climate crisis, they are totally corrupt and have hijacked climate science to try to impose their political agenda belief system of social globalism.
Because you think that your political system is best, does not give you the right to do blatantly dishonest things with impunity to impose it on those that would not accept it otherwise.
They are using this tactic because they know the truth will not sell to the developed/rich countries.
An entity like that..........no matter how altruistic they think their motives are is just not honest and can't be trusted.
Is this the mindset also of the WHO?
What just happened with the pandemic killing hundreds of thousands because of their likely dishonesty(either they lied about it or they lied about really knowing about it-they aren't dumb-they knew propaganda from China was propaganda when they gave it to us with their stamp of approval) suggests that we can't trust the WHO.
Maybe President Trump can hold them accountable.
