Is the World Health Organization& #39;s reliance on China in this pandemic a problem? Of course. But that& #39;s the reality of international fora, and the risk of that problem needs to be put in the context of the crisis we& #39;re facing, here. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/world-health-organization-coronavirus-response-975543/">https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/...

Being hawkish on China, and Beijing& #39;s influence on supranational bodies, is a good thing.

But using it as a cudgel to go after all the work of the organization that is helping the world coordinate its COVID-19 response is really irresponsible. It misunderstands the WHO& #39;s role.

Blaming international bodies for domestic failure is also a very classic move for bumbling wanna-be oligarchs (see: Orban and Soros.) Open source intelligence told us COVID-19 was a problem in late Jan/early Feb. Governments still didn& #39;t act. The WHO isn& #39;t uniquely to blame.
