I support Trump in this matter.
In my opinion, the WHO is very much into politics, which is categorically unacceptable for this kind of organization.
In fact, if you look at the history of the Coronavirus outbreak in China, it is clear that WHO did not give the correct risk assessments and recommendations for controlling the virus.
Like how it is into politics? WHO done what it is supposed to do. All economic and political choices were done by politicians, like closing for example USA borders based on one call from one broker. So blame politicians.
Trump is person who is making a call to random person (based on subscription amount of this person social media) about his beliefs and theories, asking if what he is saying is true, if person answers yes for Trump it is enough, seriously you trust such person?
And in some magic way we have again UK-USA institutions involved into economic and social situation. The ones that make wrong statistical assumptions and wrongly tested virus. Magic.
You want what? WHO to predict future? What do you expect? If WHO would act differently and virus would be actually seriously lethal, then Trump and you would have also full back of claims.
but the issue lies partially in the fact that the WHO is just a helpful intermediary between countries in sharing information.
It is intermediary between science centers and governments, those science centers are paid and controlled by governments, those are driven by lobbies. Currently we have obvious situation how to make mistakes in papers so some people and insititutions can make their "big shorts" and longs.
Whole thing is rather on how one can make strategical influence on single persons and small units to shape global situation.
As I said in my original post, I think the problem lies in the fact that the WHO doesn't do what many people expected it to do. I think when people hear the words - World Health Organization - they're expecting this organization to go out and handle investigations by themselves and not just be an intermediary between parties.
Would make the most sense if that was the case, though that would take a LOT of funding AND it would make some countries be hostile to this new WHO for investigating if they're sending out legitimate numbers and all that. Smartest thing to do would make them an independent entity that just does their own thing though.
But ya know -- people will scapegoat either way. WHO is just taking the blame here -- though I do think there is some blame to lay on them.
