No conspiracy theory. The facts you continue to ignore. Just as politico creates their own set.I have backed up all my statements with evidence.Because it is the truth.Oh my! So you know they are lies when you repeat them, then. Got it.Oh, so you carry water for the Chinese and WHO. Got it.Taiwan told the WHO on Dec 12th that there was human to human transmission. The WHO withheld that until late January... The WHO wasn't giving any serious warning and were down playing the data and evidence that was coming out of China.Completely irrelevant and if we are mentioning WHO personnel be aware that2 of the 11 Assistant Directors of the WHO are Americans - including the AD for Data, Analytics and Delivery. One AD is Chinese.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom is a high ranking member of the Ethiopian Communist party and is an accessory to murder in that country covering up cholera epidemics. Candidate to Lead the W.H.O. Accused of Covering Up Epidemics
Ironically "downplaying threats" is exactly what the WHO did with regard to China.The WHO was out ahead of Trump's claims in every respect, while he downplayed the threat.
Only you know why you would want to defend their actions.
If you ignore the fact that the WHO was issuing serious warnings while Trump was engaging in wishful thinking, you have a point.
In Taipei on Saturday, Health Minister Chen Shih-chung quoted the text of the Dec. 31 email written in English that the government sent to the WHO.
“News resources today indicate that at least seven atypical pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China,” Chen said, reading the email.
“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,” he continued.
“I would greatly appreciate if you have relevant information to share with us.”
Dec. 31, not Dec 12. It doesn't mention h2h transmission, although one might infer from "isolated for treatment" that it was suspected to be contagious.
And the US President continued to downplay the threat into March, despite the WHO's early warnings.
I'm trying to confine myself to facts. You're carrying water for the man who put the 3am phone call on 'Hold'.
That's you saying that, not me.
It's not the truth. It's you claiming I know I'm repeating lies (and thereby lying). I'm not.

How do you reconcile these later comments, by Trump, with today's desperate need to bash the WHO?
Feb 10 - “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat, as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape, though. We have 12 cases, 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.”
February 14th - Despite Redfield saying the coronavirus will be in the U.S. beyond 2020, Trump continues to push the idea that it will be gone in a matter of weeks.
“There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm, historically, that has been able to kill the virus,” he said while speaking to the National Border Patrol Council. “So we don’t know yet. We’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.”
Feb 24th - The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!
February 26th: During a press briefing at the White House, Trump claims that positive cases will soon begin to decrease.
“We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people,” he said. “And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”
“I think every aspect of our society should be prepared,” he added later. “I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27th: “It’s going to disappear,” Trump said at the White House. “One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
Is all that nonsense the fault of the WHO?

Those were moments of hope. We did not know yet how severe the infection was, and hopes were across the board that maybe we’d be lucky and it would act like a seasonal flu does, which typically disappears in spring, until next season.
And so far as the cases comment, that was taken, leaving out context of everything he said. Just a sound bite to make people, such as yourself, think he was clueless. It has been stated over and over he listened to the experts. Most of those sound bites were coming from those experts, the same ones around under H1N1.
On Jan 31st he went against WHO advice, and actually Issued travel restrictions. For you to not include that fact within your own reading of the sound bites, is only to try to find something to gripe about. If he indeed didn’t take it seriously he never would have issued the travel bans and quarantines.
And ai will assume here when Obama had sound bites of hope regarding H1N1, even though it was killing children more than any others, you didn’t have a hissy fit, did you.
"Fundamentally, this is not about what WHO did or did not do. It’s not about what WHO did or did not say. What it’s about is turning WHO into a political scapegoat to distract from this administration’s failures to prepare. WHO’s own information, WHO’s level of alarm, WHO’s characterization of the risk, were always well out ahead of the Trump administration. At a time when the U.S. government was still saying the risk to the American public was low, WHO was saying that this absolutely had pandemic potential. "

Your point? And I would surmise, until it can be proven, that is fake. Let’s look at who this O’Donnell Associates is, shall we?
A left wing NY consulting firm, setting up the GOP.-
O’Donnell’s experience in government includes serving in senior positions for United States Senator Chuck Schumer and as a Senior Policy Advisor to the State Comptroller. Politically, Jack has provided strategic advice and field and communications counsel to campaigns for President, United State Senate, and Governor as well as numerous statewide and congressional campaigns.
Explains how politico got it. Not from the GOP. Dems will stip at nothing, and this is even more proof. By the way the same politico that just last week posted another fake story about Trump and mChina, in which that have issued retractions.
So it's just coincidental that it mirrors the talking points GOP politicians, talking heads (and posters) have used for the past week? Do you have anything in a low-mileage conspiracy theory at a good price?

Well, you must be listening to a different set of news sources. Cnn or nbc per chance?

Feb 10 - “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat, as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape, though. We have 12 cases, 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.”
February 14th - Despite Redfield saying the coronavirus will be in the U.S. beyond 2020, Trump continues to push the idea that it will be gone in a matter of weeks.
“There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm, historically, that has been able to kill the virus,” he said while speaking to the National Border Patrol Council. “So we don’t know yet. We’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.”
Feb 24th - The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!
February 26th: During a press briefing at the White House, Trump claims that positive cases will soon begin to decrease.
“We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people,” he said. “And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”
“I think every aspect of our society should be prepared,” he added later. “I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27th: “It’s going to disappear,” Trump said at the White House. “One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
Is all that nonsense the fault of the WHO?
Those were moments of hope. We did not know yet how severe the infection was, and hopes were across the board that maybe we’d be lucky and it would act like a seasonal flu does, which typically disappears in spring, until next season.
And so far as the cases comment, that was taken, leaving out context of everything he said. Just a sound bite to make people, such as yourself, think he was clueless. It has been stated over and over he listened to the experts. Most of those sound bites were coming from those experts, the same ones around under H1N1.
On Jan 31st he went against WHO advice, and actually Issued travel restrictions. For you to not include that fact within your own reading of the sound bites, is only to try to find something to gripe about. If he indeed didn’t take it seriously he never would have issued the travel bans and quarantines.
And ai will assume here when Obama had sound bites of hope regarding H1N1, even though it was killing children more than any others, you didn’t have a hissy fit, did you.
"Fundamentally, this is not about what WHO did or did not do. It’s not about what WHO did or did not say. What it’s about is turning WHO into a political scapegoat to distract from this administration’s failures to prepare. WHO’s own information, WHO’s level of alarm, WHO’s characterization of the risk, were always well out ahead of the Trump administration. At a time when the U.S. government was still saying the risk to the American public was low, WHO was saying that this absolutely had pandemic potential. "
Private Republican Coronavirus Memo: ‘Don’t Defend Trump’
A smoking-gun document shows Republicans are blaming China because they realize Trump’s response is literally indefensible.
Your point? And I would surmise, until it can be proven, that is fake. Let’s look at who this O’Donnell Associates is, shall we?
A left wing NY consulting firm, setting up the GOP.-
O’Donnell’s experience in government includes serving in senior positions for United States Senator Chuck Schumer and as a Senior Policy Advisor to the State Comptroller. Politically, Jack has provided strategic advice and field and communications counsel to campaigns for President, United State Senate, and Governor as well as numerous statewide and congressional campaigns.
Explains how politico got it. Not from the GOP. Dems will stip at nothing, and this is even more proof. By the way the same politico that just last week posted another fake story about Trump and mChina, in which that have issued retractions.
So it's just coincidental that it mirrors the talking points GOP politicians, talking heads (and posters) have used for the past week? Do you have anything in a low-mileage conspiracy theory at a good price?
Home - O'Donnell & Associates
O’Donnell & Associates is a solutions-focused government relations firm, providing results to New York’s most successful leaders, entrepreneurs,
Well, you must be listening to a different set of news sources. Cnn or nbc per chance?
I knew this would happen. Democrat states will remain locked down unnecessarily just to make trump look bad and there will be abject lies about timelines and more history revision.
Democrats are liars.
