This is incredible, and shows how much China has now pushed over the WHO. I'm almost certain Chinese pressure on the WHO also influenced a lot of their statements.

The WHO is under the UN, which recognises the PRC as the "real China". How much of this is the UN's fault vs one of its agencies?

Maybe you're right, but it's completely infiltatred by China.

,,Tedros overlooked the Chinese government's early attempts to suppress information but offered "effusive praise" for its containment efforts instead''

Wow. I'm really sorry that you're voted down (me too), and really thanks for the link at the same time.

The comment was correctly downvoted because it broke several of the site guidelines, such as:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

That means keeping the facts and dropping the name-calling and flamebait.

Would you mind reviewing them as well? Note this one at the end: Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Thanks dang. Moderation on HN keeps it an island of sanity. Really appreciate the job you are doing.
