Actually, they lost any credibility to me when they wanted to appoint Robert Mugabe as an ambassador years ago.
In more recent times, their position on the use of masks was criticized as confusing[1].
And let's not forget their equally confusing tweet on immunity to SARS-CoV-2 from a week ago or so (which was ultimately retracted). So not just one from 4 months ago.
Of course it's a big organization, so caveats apply. Nevertheless, they didn't do the best job at communication.
