I have no doubt that this virus obviously came from China. More so I now believe from their lab in Wuhan. And more than likely accidentally. But China failed from that point forward. Many lies and coverups and allowed people out of their country by the millions. Ignored protocol and warned the world much much too late. And they still continue to lie.

The WHO went along with their bullshit and had lies themselves to add. The world relies on them for proper details.

And the last article, I agree with him. Ultimately, I still think they should create another organization of sorts, one without loyalty to China or any one country. But I think we are kinda stuck with WHO for now. I wouldn't rely on them for anything from this point forward.

Trump: Why Did WHO Make Inaccurate, Misleading Claims About Virus?

President Donald Trump on Friday accused the World Health Organization of having made several misleading claims about the coronavirus as it spread across the globe in January and February.

“Why did the W.H.O. Ignore an email from Taiwanese health officials in late December alerting them to the possibility that CoronaVirus could be transmitted between humans?” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets on Friday. “Why did the W.H.O. make several claims about the CoronaVirus that ere either inaccurate or misleading in January and February, as the Virus spread globally? Why did the W.H.O. wait as long as it did to take decisive action?”

Trump also mentioned Lanhee Chen, the David and Diane Steffy Fellow in American Public Policy Studies at the Hoover Institution Fellow, who said on Fox News earlier this week that Trump must demand answers to the same questions that Trump later tweeted about on Friday.

According to The New York Post, Taiwanese officials wrote in a letter to the WHO that “News resources today indicate that at least seven atypical pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China … Their health authorities replied to the media that the cases were believed not to be SARS, however the samples are still under examination, and cases have been isolated for treatment.”

The WHO said this week, “we are only aware of that one email that makes no mention of human-to-human transmission.”

Pompeo: Administration Demanding Answers From China on Virus Cover-Up

The Trump administration is demanding answers from China on the novel coronavirus, as it's "very clear now" that the Chinese Communist Party and the World Health Organization did not release information as it is required to do, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday.

"This authoritarian regime had information, had data," Pompeo told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. "It's very clear now that the Chinese Communist Party and the World Health Organization didn't put that information out into the international space as they're required to do in a timely fashion. And the result of that is that we now have this global pandemic. We're still suffering that today."

His comments come after Chinese officials changed the number of coronavirus deaths in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic on Friday to add nearly 1,300 fatalities, pushing China's total to 4,632 deaths, and raising Wuhan's toll by 50% to 3,869 deaths.

Chinese state media blamed the difference on "belated, missed, and mistaken reporting."

Pompeo told Bartiromo it is "completely appropriate" that the world asks the right questions about the coronavirus and said President Donald Trump is frustrated with the WHO because it is tasked to protect the world from what is happening today.

"[We] need answers and data," said Pompeo. "The Chinese Communist Party needs to come clean about what took place ... it is time for accountability, to attribute what happened and who did what so we can move on from an incident that destroyed so much wealth not only here in the United States but across the world."

Pompeo said the Trump administration has consistently demanded from China that it behaves in a way that's "consistent with international norms."

The administration is still trying to enter a lab in Wuhan where it's believed the virus originated, Pompeo added.

"This is about science and epidemiology," he said. "We need to understand what has taken place so that we can reduce risk to Americans in the days and weeks and months ahead and get the global economy back on track. It's very important."

GOP Rep. Reschenthaler: No Matter What, Don't Resume WHO Funding

In applauding President Donald Trump's decision Wednesday to pause U.S. funding of the World Health Organization, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R.-Pa., told Newsmax Friday he would not support resumption of WHO funding even if controversial Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus resigns.

"While Director-General Dr. Tedros must resign before U.S. taxpayer funding is restored to WHO, his resignation alone would not be enough," said Reschenthaler, who introduced a House resolution to stop WHO funding two weeks ago.

The freshman congressman emphasized that the United Nations-affiliated agency's "failure to contain this [coronavirus] pandemic is evidence of systemic issues, not just with Dr. Tedros but throughout WHO.

"Beyond the resignation of Dr. Tedros, the Chinese Communist Party's perversion of WHO's mission from 'keeping the world safe' into an extension of the party's propaganda wing necessitates a thorough investigation before hard-earned U.S. taxpayer dollars are restored," Reschenthaler said.

The Reschenthaler resolution also calls for an international commission to investigate the origins of the coronavirus in China and the ways its government tried to underreport and even cover up the extent of the virus' deadly nature.

Before Trump's surprise announcement Wednesday that the U.S. would halt funding the WHO, the Reschenthaler resolution had 20 House co-sponsors calling on him to do precisely that. Since then, the number of co-sponsors has jumped to 38.

Eight more co-sponsors were expected to be announced Friday afternoon, a spokesman for Reschenthaler told Newsmax.

The European Union and Democratic lawmakers in Congress denounced the sudden pause in the U.S. funding the WHO. During its most recent two-year funding period, the U.S. has provided the agency with $893 million — including $236 million in dues — and is therefore its largest contributor.
