Well kudos to them for finally seeing reason, but I'm not willing to give them much of a break. They pushed for lockdowns full well knowing all these consequences before hand. Everyone (including myself) who mentioned a few months ago that lockdowns will make the poor poorer and will push large portions of the population into destitution were accused of being anti-science shills who cared more about property than human life. Now the chickens have come home to roost and the WHO has once again demonstrated its lack of understanding of topics beyond the realm of health. In and of itself of course, the WHO not being competent in running a society is not a bad thing -- doctors are not politicians after all -- but what is scary is how much influence they have had making societal decisions extending well beyond medicine.
