I find comments like these to be so unhelpful. Many WHO-participating countries have done a much better job handling COVID-19 than the U.S. Pinning blame on the WHO, who the U.S. pulled out of this year, just creates a convenient scapegoat & feeds into anti-WHO crackpot theories.https://twitter.com/kprather88/status/1337842302765559810 …

I don’t think there’s any disagreement on how this administration has failed. But there are billions of other people in the world who are being told not to wear masks indoors if separated by a mere meter. Lots of jurisdictions completely use World Health Organization guidelines.

But I would add is I don’t think the problem is the communication team or the public facing scientists. I’d wager they may even agree. It’s a structural problem with a few committees being dominated by a few men who refuse to have an evidence-based and pandemic appropriate speed.

The U.S. has 12 states that have yet to enact facemask requirements, and we have the audacity to call out the WHO? Again, the WHO has little-to-no power with enforcement of their recommendations. We have states that refuse to implement and enforce them while ~3,000 die each day.

(Waves from one of those states) - No org is perfect and definitely not during a pandemic of a novel respiratory virus. The WHO supports a ton of research to continuously improve. Focusing on their failures instead of our own distorts from not only their actual role, but ours.
