This is a different link and, as it mentions, Taiwan's CDC has email receipts of its communications with the WHO.
In an outbreak situation, the correct response is NOT to say, "until you've published a study we'll tell the world there's no evidence of human-to-human transmission". If multiple doctors are getting sick from their patients, there IS evidence of human-to-human transmission.
If those doctors are in an authoritarian country that controls the flow of information, but they've emailed their colleagues abroad, that information itself must be shared by any responsible health organization.
- henearkr 7y agoThat makes sense. Did Taiwan try to publish directly? On social media or other.
- AlchemistCamp 7y agoYes. The local CDC is on Twitter and Facebook.
