No human-to-human transmission, no travel bans, but plenty of praise for Beijing: How WHO parroted Chinese lies as coronavirus pandemic unfolded

Trump - who is facing heavy criticism for his own response - has blasted the WHO for advising against travel bans, which he claims 'accelerated the pandemic all around the world', and called for an investigation.

This is the brilliance of Trump.

Now the media is actually forced to look at WHO’s behavior.

Don;t forget the last Thursday in Jan WHO said that there was a only moderate risk of it spreading outside of China..

it stayed that way until the following Monday when they moved it a “high risk”

Then they said that the made a “clerical error” and said that it was supposed to be moved to high risk Thursday to begin with (and yet somehow they didn’t notice it for 4 days)
