WHO lost all credibility since ~Jan 2020(If i recall correctly between 1 through 15) when they stated on couple occasions that Covid was a mere "nothingburger", when in fact western journalists have been expressing concerns since late November through December.I understand most people don't consume rolling news or independent reporting, but it is still not an argument. You can't seriously expect WHO to not have the information independent journalists or 'simple plebs' do. When the genie was out of the bottle(as in containing the virus in China was not possible), they switched gears and went with the opposite narrative, even though not much was known about the severity of the virus besides it spreading very quickly and easily.This is not the scientific method, because if it was you wouldn't firstly claim it was nothing and then suddenly say it was so bad you need to half-ass shut down civilization.A scientific-method approach would have been: "we don't know" until "we do" , not to mention denying the claim it was a lab-leak (which is now the most probable thing). As they say in politics & propaganda: "never let a good crisis go to waste".WHO and national institutions that were responsible for measures and actions governments should take are fully responsible, but nothing will happen.The fact people still debate about the origin of the virus should be indicative that facts don't matter, but twitter blue checkmarks and fact-checking labels on mainstream platforms do.
