“#Don\u2019t pull out of WHO \u2014 America should stop its lies from within: Devine<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The president\u2019s decision unilaterally to withdraw from the World Health Organization, without announcing an alternative body, against the advice of medical experts and the GOP\u2019s own House Foreign Affairs Committee\u2019s recent report into the origins of COVID-19, does nothing to reassure voters that we will be prepared for the next pandemic.<\/p>\n

We know the Chinese Communist Party is to blame for unleashing the virus and the WHO helped cover up, but what are we going to do, apart from take our bat and ball and go home?<\/p>\n

We need to make sure the same mistakes don\u2019t happ<\/a>en the next time a bat virus mutates somewhere in China.<\/p>\n

First up, officials all over the world should stop lying.<\/p>\n

After so many lies it\u2019s no wonder that, after obeying orders for three months, Americans are starting to behave irrationally, and case numbers are rising again.<\/p>\n

White House health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci admits he lied about the effectiveness of masks in order to safeguard stockpiles for health workers.<\/p>\n

No excuse. It was an arrogant vote of no confidence in the good sense of Americans to self-regulate if given accurate information.<\/p>\n

When officials lie, we lose faith in authority, get our information elsewhere and throw caution to the wind.<\/p>\n

The result is that too many Americans think masks don\u2019t work when, in fact, they\u2019re probably the best tool we have to ward off infection.<\/p>\n

According to a review last month in the Lancet of 172 studies across 16 countries, wearing a face mask reduces your chance of COVID-19 infection from 17 percent to 3 percent, with best results from N95 respirator-type masks.<\/p>\n

But Fauci\u2019s lie gave masks a bad name and caused outbreaks of hostility between skeptics and believers.<\/p>\n

Of course, the deadliest lies are from China. The CCP keeps changing its story about the outbreak. First, it came from the Wuhan wet market, and then it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

They swore blind it didn\u2019t come from the Wuhan virology lab which just happened to be testing coronaviruses, has a track record of sloppy safety and staff who have gone missing.<\/p>\n

They blamed the US military, and now are pointing the finger at Spain, after an unverified University of Barcelona study found virus traces in wastewater samples dated March 2019.<\/p>\n

As soon as the WHO belatedly bowed to international pressure to investigate the origins of the virus, China leapt on the Spanish news<\/a> to say all countries should be investigated, a time-wasting charade.<\/p>\n

This weekend, an advance team of WHO investigators will fly to China, eight months after the first confirmed case in Hubei province of the new coronavirus which has killed more than 500,000 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can fight the virus better when we know . . . how it started,\u201d WHO Director-General<\/a> Tedros Ghebreyesus said last week.<\/p>\n

No kidding.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pathetic. No wonder the Trump administration has run out of patience.<\/p>\n

But the GOP\u2019s June report, \u201cThe origins of the COVID-19 global pandemic\u201d, recommends a more constructive path.<\/p>\n

The author, Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, says the US should dump Tedros but remain in the WHO and leverage international pressure to stop the \u201cCCP\u2019s malfeasance from giving rise to a third pandemic during the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not believe the withdrawal of the US or the establishment of a competing international organization is the correct path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCaul blames the CCP for \u201callowing a local outbreak to become a global pandemic [due to] its efforts to conceal the spread and novel nature of the virus, failures to share accurate information as required by international law and the suppression of voices seeking to warn the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tedros, \u201cactively engaged in an effort to defend the CCP\u2019s leadership from criticism, negatively impacting the world\u2019s understanding of the virus and hampering the global response effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCaul wants the US and \u201clikeminded WHO Member States\u201d to investigate how and where the virus mutated into its lethal form.<\/p>\n

He points out the WHO only found out about the outbreak on Dec. 31, from a US early warning site, not the CCP.<\/p>\n

But there is evidence from open source intelligence that at least six weeks earlier, the CCP was preparing for a dangerous respiratory disease epidemic.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 13, China\u2019s national health authority issued new influenza guidance instructing hospitals to check blood-oxygen levels of pneumonia patients and look for what we now know are COVID-19 symptoms such as pneumothorax and media<\/a>stinal emphysema and multifocal brain damage.<\/p>\n

The virus may have been circulating in September, when satellite images showed Wuhan hospitals to be unusually crowded.<\/p>\n

An African Ph.D. student trapped in Wuhan during the lockdown told Korean Arirang News in February of a pneumonia outbreak \u201csomewhere in September.\u201d<\/p>\n
