The latest TDS talking point is that the @WHO is actually the good guy in all this.

A quick trip down memory lane for how @WHO has pushed Chinese propaganda about #coronavirus for months. https://twitter.com/joelockhart/status/1247645379354677252

We’ll start with the classic: they deliberately pushed the fabrication that there was no evidence of human to human transmission. (Debunked here by @NRO: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/chinas-devastating-lies/amp/)

The pushes the nonsense lie that China helped decrease the worldwide cases (debunked here by @axios: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.axios.com/timeline-the-early-days-of-chinas-coronavirus-outbreak-and-cover-up-ee65211a-afb6-4641-97b8-353718a5faab.html)

@WHO claims that China has been transparent about the disease, which is laughable, and that they shared the genomic information quickly for the virus. Both of those are false. As @WSJ reports here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/how-it-all-started-chinas-early-coronavirus-missteps-11583508932

@WHO has been more than willing to cover for China’s extralegal efforts to curb the virus’s spread. More on that here from @hrw: https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/03/12/human-toll-chinas-coronavirus-control-efforts

@WHO publicly opposed a travel ban, despite intimidate knowledge of local spread and other consequences. (The ban has helped mitigate spread, per @USATODAY, and would’ve been more beneficial if enacted earlier...while @WHO was urging against it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2908799001)

As has been debunked repeatedly, China was anything but transparent and forthcoming, despite @WHO claims. This, from @TheAtlantic, is very good.

And, of course, @WHO is the authority cited for why it’s “racist” to call it Wuhan or Chinese coronavirus.

I’m sure that decision and all these lies are unconnected.

Also unconnected, surely, is @WHO’s support for China’s Belt and Road initiative, which helped accelerate the spread of the disease. More on that here from @CFR_org: https://www.cfr.org/blog/what-covid-19-pandemic-may-mean-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative

So...yeah. We should #DefundTheWHO
