The problem is that the WHO was lying multiple times, and other organizations parroted those lies as they were afraid of confronting the WHO.

Now we are in a stage where there's no good information source (except HN comments, though even there we must be selective).

WHO was saying almost until the point that China locked down that there was no evidence of human to human transmission, even though Taiwan has warned them that had strong evidence of this on December 31st 2019.

That could be a mistake or maybe they considered the prior evidence unreliable. "Lying" implies means conscious intent to deceive. Why would the WHO intentionally lie?

hypothetically WHO announced H2H transmission back in Dec, China enters lockdown in Dec, would this change any outcome?
