I'm not sure calling them a malicious institution is too much. The WHO pushed hard on the idea that there definitely were no asymptomatic cases and China had confirmed this for sure using arguments that seemed utterly nonsensical - like, they were essentially arguing that asymptomatic cases didn't exist because testing of people with symptoms didn't find them. They had a whole campaign of interviews with US publications to spread this, as part of a broader regurgitation of dubious Chinese propaganda about things like how exactly they contained their own outbreak.
