How complicit is the WHO in China?s coronavirus cover-up?

Sign up here.The World Health Organization (WHO) has increasingly come under the spotlight in recent weeks for its role in the coronavirus outbreak, culminating in the Trump administration temporarily halting funding.Its role has prompted a cloud of criticism and questions over who knew what and when.So how complicit or blind was the UN agency to the unfurling China concealment of the coronavirus?"It is hard to say definitively at this point, which is why there needs to be an independent, external investigation into the WHO response to COVID-19 and China's potential influence over its decisions," Dean Cheng, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News. The WHO never questioned the original statistics."SOURCES BELIEVE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK ORIGINATED IN WUHAN LAB AS PART OF CHINA'S EFFORTS TO COMPETE WITH USThe U.S. is conducting a full-scale investigation into whether the coronavirus, which went on to morph into a global pandemic, escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, Fox News reported earlier this week.Fox News first reported on Wednesday that there is increasing confidence that the outbreak likely originated in a Wuhan lab, not as a bioweapon but as part of a Chinese effort to show that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal or greater than those of the U.S. Officials and the intelligence community have confirmed to Fox News that they have taken the possibility of the coronavirus being man-made or engineered inside China as some sort of bioweapon off the table and have ruled it out at this point.Intelligence analysts are piecing together a timeline of what the government knew and “creating an accurate picture of what happened,” the sources said.U.S. officials are 100 percent confident China went to great lengths to cover up after the virus was out, the sources said.Additionally, the sources believe that the World Health Organization was either complicit in the coverup or looked the other way. (AP)From the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) 's purview, they bought time for the rest of the world to prepare – informing the WHO on December 31 of a new pathogen.US OFFICIALS CONFIRM FULL-SCALE INVESTIGATION OF WHETHER CORONAVIRUS ESCAPED FROM WUHAN LABAs it became undeniable that the virus was sickening scores of people, officials set about shutting down travel in and out of Wuhan but not internationally.A spokesperson for the WHO told Fox News that immediate action was taken after the December 31 submission."WHO China requested additional information from the government on January 1. Tedros' lavished unwarranted praise of China throughout this pandemic, despite substantial evidence that China wasn't transparent about the virus early on."Moreover, on February 3, several weeks after scores of countries – including the United States – had confirmed cases of the new illness, WHO's Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus proclaimed that "the spread to other countries is minimal and slow," and the virus could be "contained easily" as a result of China's "strategy and efforts." His comments came a week after the health chief met with China's President Xi Jinping.
