> maintain the relationship and preserve future goodwill
If the relationship involves lies and cover ups that caused this pandemic to get out of control leading to millions of deaths and massive global disruption, what is the value of the relationship in the future?

- ethbr0 4y agoThat it's still better than the no-worldwide coordination body alternative? An optimal but impossible-to-implement world organization isn't a useful measuring stick for organizations that need exist in reality. Nations exercise sovereignty within their borders. Nations have their own priorities. Those priorities often conflict with other nations'. Inconvenient in public health responses, but facts that must be dealt with. And in a choice between (1) no WHO, (2) a WHO that spends time playing politics and is less effective than it could be, (3) a perfectly-efficient authoritarian WHO supported by a global police state... I'll take (2).
