Yes they did @Lomu. You don't like it but all they do is prove just how corrupt they are.
Consider, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus didn't just spend months lavishing the CCP with praise for its "transparency" and "leadership." On Jan. 14, the WHOpromulgatedthe Chinese lie that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus, a crucial falsehood that prevented other countries from taking the early and proper precautions such as vital travel bans and securing PPE. The WHO declined to deem it a pandemicuntilMarch 11, when already over 100,000 cases had beenconfirmedworldwide. The WHO still refuses to concede that it blatantly lied about the efficacy of masks in preventing coronavirus transmission, likely to save more masks for China. To this day, the WHO maintains that people without the coronavirus should not wear masks unless they're treating patients with it. American legal guidance differs for a reason. We now don't just have observational evidence of the success of mask-wearing in South Korea and Japan and evidence about theefficacy of masks against other similarly sized viruses, but alsonewscience that shows just 80% mask-wearing could plummet coronavirus infection rates to one-twelfth of its current rate.
