In the beginning of any outbreak of a new disease there is a scarcity of information and mistakes are always going to be made. You can already write part of the story here for the next pandemic in case you are so inclined.
That's pretty easy to criticize from the sidelines. At the same time: if the pandemic had been much milder you would be here ranting about how the WHO got it all wrong again and they cried wolf for no particular reason if only to grab more power, make money for big pharma with unused vaccines and managed to scare us all for nothing.
They can't do it right, it's always going to be too much or too little, and it's always the same groups complaining about this.
