The WHO declared COVID-19 a PHEIC on 30 January 2020 [0], about a month after it arouse original attention in international media by very late 2019 [1] [2] [3]
> The WHO was so China centric that Bruce Aylward was outright ignoring questions if they contained the word “Taiwan.”
The very same would have happened if any WHO official was asked something in relation to Palestine [4]. Which, just like Taiwan, is not a sovereign nation recognizes by the UN because certain other UN members are actively denying these territories that recognition.
That's why WHO, and UN officials in general will act like certain places don't even exist; Their mere mention of these territories, like sovereign states, can be interpreted as the UN, giving them, at least unofficial, recognition.
> China lied about the nature of the pandemic, lied about the severity, gave fake statistics and information, and the WHO never questioned or looked further into any of it.
I'd be really interested what your alleged timeline for events looks like. By late 2019 China was publicly admitting investigating a SARS like outbreak. When do you locate the actual outbreak start? Months earlier?
That's the only way the WHO could have taken "months" to declare it a PHEIC, yet any public awareness about any of this only existed by late 2019.
