It is funny for non americans to read opinions of americans which are obviously implanted by the US media narative. Yeah, China is all bad, and the US never influenced any international organisation or government? And saying that WHO should be dismanteled because of some errors on Covid handling (while working with early and unreliable data) is just plain dangerous and childish (and influenced by Tramp narrative with which he wants to save himself from concequences from his own wrong doing).

As a non-american, please don't speak for us all. Also, using word "obviously" doesn't substitute for factual evidence. There are plenty of people skeptical about WHO's handling of the situation outside US too.

I‘m „non-American“ and pretty glad that at least some nation in the world is not keeping their mouths shut about the research CCP did in those low safety standards Wuhan labs, and about how CCP is desperately trying to change the narrative. This has to be discussed. There is good reason not to buy all this animal-origin theory research coming from mainland China and there is good reason to criticise WHO if they are publicly following this narrative at this point.

You can point me to a case where the US endangered the whole world with a global pandemic by covering up an outbreak for months if you can find one.

The laboratory people like pointing at is a biosafety level 4 facility. The entire purpose is to allow safely studying the most dangerous diseases the world has.

It's not clear how the WHO is actually helping with the pandemic. Do they treat patients, develop vaccines, tests, antibody tests, or treatment protocols? What do they do exactly? Seems like they talk and have press conferences where they say with confidence to the world, as China is locking up a city, that the virus doesn't transmit between humans. It's funny you consider WHO a serious organization.

If you are curious, the wikipedia article on the WHO answers the question of their mandate in the first few paragraphs already.

I went to look since you didn't quote it: "The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health.[1] The WHO Constitution, which establishes the agency's governing structure and principles, states its main objective as ensuring "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.

So what have they done or are doing to stop the pandemic? Like, really, what?

> And saying that WHO should be dismantled because of some errors on Covid handling (while working with early and unreliable data)

I think they should know better than to publish, what will largely be interpreted as facts, based on what they clearly know is unreliable data.

I haven't lived in the USA for almost 10 years, intentionally don't follow or consume USA media and I am far from a fan of Donald Trump. Try again CCP troll.

You started a wretched flamewar in this thread and perpetuated it egregiously, breaking several of the site guidelines badly. We ban accounts that do this kind of thing.
