The World Health Organization thinks China might not be telling the truth after all, writes ZacharyFaria.
The WHO has recently accused China of “under-representing” its COVID deaths. “We continue to ask China for more rapid, regular, reliable data on hospitalizations and deaths, as well as more comprehensive, real-time viral sequencing,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday.
Believe it or not, this is actually progress for the WHO during the pandemic. When COVID first began spreading, the organization took the Chinese Communist Party at its word, declaring that there was “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.” Of course, China did have that evidence. The WHO even praised China’s pandemic response publicly while privately complaining about a lack of transparency.

One might think pandemics don’t require timely responses from health officials or something.
Calling people who work for the WHO health officials may be a stretch, though. The organization is inherently political, just like the rest of the U.N. Taiwan even attempted to warn the organization that the virus was more lethal and more transmissive than China had led it to believe. Instead, WHO leaders ignored Taiwan and barred it from any and all important health discussions.Nearly every pocket of the U.N.
