Trump Was Right About The WHO

When an international health organization costs lives instead of saving them, something must be done.

Humankind may never know the full cost of Covid-19.

This is true especially considering some of the countries hardest hit, like China and Iran, are among the least likely to be honest about the death toll in those countries.

“Without commenting on any classified information, this much is painfully obvious: The Chinese Communist Party has lied, is lying, and will continue to lie about coronavirus to protect the regime.”

“They lied to the world about the human-to-human transmission of the virus, silenced doctors and journalists who tried to report the truth, and are now apparently hiding the accurate number of people impacted by this disease.” — Rep. Michael McCaul, House Foreign Affairs Committee

The U.S. intelligence community agrees that Chinese authorities have not been forthcoming with accurate information about Covid-19 cases and deaths in China. Some of the journalists and doctors who warned authorities initially about Covid-19 were taken into custody and are still missing.

It is likely the Chinese central government couldn’t give an accurate deaths total even if it wanted to.
