No need to listen to what the WHO says anymore, say people everywhere after review. Isn't the whole problem that if you're asymptomatic, you don't know if you're healthy? If reducing the credibility of national and international organizations of health is the goal, then our institutions have done an outstanding job. The question is, in the vacuum of trustworthy government institutions, what can we do as communities and individuals to replace them?

The WHO is a political organization, not a medical organization. If you break your leg or get sick, you can't go to the WHO. Everything that comes out of their mouthpiece should be regarded as politics, until confirmed as science.

Just like the 1880's: conspiracy theories, rumors and Alex Jones' snake oil panaceas. The world is headed to another Dark Age at this rate.
