Is WHO putting politics over science with the return of Trump?

China Daily  

A man wearing a face mask walks past the US Capitol building in Washington, DC, the United States. First, years before 2019, leading scientists and public health agencies knew a novel coronavirus outbreak was likely because there had already been three, SARS1, SARS2 and MERS, and there was mounting evidence that coronaviruses in particular are vulnerable to mutations in natural reservoirs in mammals like bats due to climate change. Furthermore, contrary to Donald Trump's previous public statements, as The Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward noted, Trump had confided in him that the Chinese leadership had been completely candid from the beginning, in short an admission that the US leadership was simply lying about China not sharing information, and doing so to cover for America's own catastrophic failures, despite the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention providing the first Trump administration with a pandemic response plan for an anticipated coronavirus outbreak months before Covid was first detected. Third, although China was hit hard by the initial outbreak, it moved quickly to enact public health measures that saved the lives of millions of people and through a zero-COVID policy kept the Chinese economy running, upon which the world depended for key goods. While other countries suffered economic, social and political collapses, China held the line, for the greater good of its own people and the rest of the world, including producing lifesaving vaccines and making them available internationally while other countries externalized their failures and played games like vaccine diplomacy, vaccines for profits, and spreading misinformation about China and Chinese vaccines to sow fear and confusion, as has been proven by reporting by key Western media into secret Pentagon campaigns.
