> That China blocked the Who's efforts and the WHO disclosed this is more relevant to future health policy than where this particular outbreak started.
(Obviously the WHO, like any part of the UN can do nothing but document anything a superpower refuses to do.)
Now how does that build a case that the WHO is a problem instead of allowing superpowers to have super power is a problem?
It seems to me like people down voting my original comment are members of superpower states with hypocritical stances.
What has this got do to do with anything we are discussing here? Who is ‘allowing this’. What does it mean to not ‘allow’ it?

What state are you a member of? Does something make you think it has no hypocritical stances?

Note, these nations are listed here:

Note Lord Acton (also from a state listed there) states the meaning of that list in the context of the UN system:
“All power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Now, what has the WHO done wrong vs what is outside the abilities of any part of the UN to address?
I will summarize my very simple position again:
The WHO did a good write-up, if you want to look beyond what a UN organization is allowed to do then do your own inference.
You seem to be implying the WHO should do something else that is consistent with its position and the fact that choices by China and the US are beyond its control. Maybe you can elaborate on what that is?
If you are suggesting a reform to allow a UN organization to force these nations to not be a global threat in every area, including health, then I'm happy to hear it.
