Is the WHO even relevant? The WHO is not a sovereign authority, and has proven to not be independent too. They have been lying the entire time. Their statements 1. No evidence of human to human transmission 2. No need to ban travel from China. Ineffective 3. It is not a pandemic 4. Some twitter threads who WHO adding traditional chinese medicine in their list of medicines for COVID-19 in their chinese language posts. 5. Masks do not work. If the WHO can't be independent, can't say things truly, and they never had any sovereign authority to begin with, what good exactly are they?

The WHO is relevant because every national, state and local medical authority and doctor has been trained and conditioned to trust them over the past decades. Even now you will find, infectious disease doctors citing WHO guidance in articles and on twitter. There is a level of faith in WHO which seems no longer warranted.

Can't comment on 4. 5. it's a little bit complicated as I believe they are just not recommending masks unless you are sick or caring for the sick.

    #2 does not support original commenter's claim. #3 obviously every pandemic was not always a pandemic.

WHO is both extremely relevant and lying. It's a toxic combination that costs many people's lives and trillions of dollars. The question is who's controlling the WHO. China and drug cartels are 2 options, but I don't know....both have interests in what's going on, and central banks seem to play along somewhat.

These organizations are useless and full of functionaries. RKI (Robert Koch Institut) in Germany is the same. Incompetent, unable to produce proper graphs or measurements, but great at making press conferences televised by the state television bureaucrats.
