>China will lie to the WHO and the WHO will protect it.

Do you have any reason to believe that this is true?

This is a particularly generic bit of evidence, based on cynicism with a bit of directional truth about incentives. Do you have anything that draws this connection more directly?

Remember that time a high up WHO representative was asked about COVID in Taiwan and he faked the video call freezing and disconnected? Then remember when they got him back he was again asked about Taiwan and said they had already discussed China?

I remember thinking that the WHO wasn’t what it seemed. Just one small example of course.

I know why. See my username.

I think in some years when we have better options and more transparency we’re going to reflect on this “person with the most votes gets speech” thing.
