The editor-in-chief of the United Kingdom–based medical journal The Lancet, Richard Horton, continues to mislead the world, this time about the Communist Party of China's and the World Health Organization's responsibility for the worldwide spread of the Wuhan virus, AKA the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Several months ago, Horton misled the world about a drug being used to treat the virus.

“Put on your eyeshade,
Put in your earplugs,
You know where to put the cork”...The WHO.

“We’re Not Gonna Take It!”
