Is This Why WHO Peddled China's Propaganda on the Wuhan Coronavirus?

China lied, and people died. That's a fact. It's also a fact that this pandemic originated in China. It's called the Wuhan coronavirus. Period. China discovered evidence of this pneumonia-like illness in December and ordered its scientists to destroy samples. China dragged its feet when it came to informing the public. It kept information about human-to-human transmission buried. It kept medical crews in the dark and strong-armed doctors who were trying to do the right thing. But somehow, it's not China's fault. I cannot eye-roll hard enough. And remember, the World Health Organization pretty much spread Chinese misinformation in January (via Fox News):

(tweet WHO)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet. The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China," the organization had said. It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak. The Chinese government reportedly knew the disease was spreading before the tweet was sent, according to the South China Morning Post.

The ChiComs are generous and wanted to share with the world.

This virus has a delayed fuse allowing for rapid spread and that tells me that this is a weapons grade biowarfare product. This is self-evident. Two germ warfare centers in Wuhan. Was it them or are they the perfect cover, Mr. Holmes?

Those heads will roll once things settle down - China hasn’t seen the actual storm but they can sense the ominous clouds on the horizon...

“The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times”

Oops!

The reason I brought up this scenario is because there have been multiple attempts to absolve that laboratory based on analysis of the structure of the virus. But obviously, even if it can be proven that this particular viral strain came directly from a bat, that invites the question of where the bat came from.
