An infamous WHO tweet claiming there was 'no clear evidence' that the coronavirus could spread between humans was posted to appease China, report says

Wake Up. Ovcourse

self evident facts while pandemic spread enormously it took months to publish what WHO claimed to be a wrongful/malicious statement abt.Covid_19 & the non-human transmission when the facts dictated otherwise...it remains to reveal as to why rather then if

The entire WHO top brass, the top 20 or so officials must be let go and instead the G20 ex China should put in a new team.

Communist. Terrorist group. Dictatorship. Sounds fitting. DrTedros
