Another WHO Attempted Coverup

-

The World Health Organizati­on basically just admitted to trying to get away with yet another whitewash on behalf of China’s rulers.

The agency last week acknowledg­ed that the report by a team of “investigat­ors” supposedly looking into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan isn’t worth anything — and the agency is scrapping it.

The WHO team still plans to publish a summary along with a final report to be released later. But the simple fact is that it didn’t actually investigat­e anything.

Kudos to the internatio­nal group of twodozen-plus scientists who called out the fraud. The WHO team completed its “investigat­ive mission” without ever getting the necessary access, they noted: It basically took Beijing’s word for everything — and gave China’s rulers a veto over what went into its “report.”

It’s beyond astonishin­g that the WHO tried to get away with such games again .It has been echoing the Chinese Communist Party’s lies from the pandemic’s start.

China still got some propaganda value from this farce: headlines blaring the WHO investigat­ors’ finding that it was “extremely unlikely” that the virus leaked from a Chinese lab and more likely that the virus originated outside of China and spread to Wuhan via frozen-food packaging.

As the scientists noted, it was “all but impossible” for the WHO team to do a real investigat­ion. And why, if the WHO isn’t still in Bejing’s pocket, did it engineer a “factfindin­g” mission preprogram­med to help the CCP peddle its absurdist lies?

Put simply, the WHO, just like the CCP, can only be trusted to lie.
