Quote:The Chinese Communist Party forced the World Health Organization (WHO) to refrain from notifying the world about human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus, causing a “four to six-week delay in fighting” the virus, according to Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service.

The recently-released report corroborates the Trump administration’s narrative that China purposely withheld this critical information, delaying the world’s ability to respond: “According to the BND, China has urged the World Health Organization (WHO) to delay a global warning after the outbreak of the virus at the highest level. On January 21, China’s leader Xi Jinping asked WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to hold back information about a human-to-human transmission and to delay a pandemic warning.”

This follows the Department of Homeland Security alleging the CCP’s intentional delay in notifying authorities of the outbreak was to stockpile medical supplies now in a global shortage.

It’s also the latest proof of WHO’s subservience to the CCP, sacrificing global health by acquiescing to Beijing’s demands.

Roughly one week after WHO assisted in the CCP-led cover up, they praised China’s “transparency” in a now-debunked statement from the body’s director, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus:

“We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership, and the transparency they have demonstrated, including sharing data and genetic sequence of the virus. WHO is working closely with the government on measures to understand the virus and limit transmission. WHO will keep working side-by-side with China and all other countries to protect health and keep people safe.”

And Dr. Tedros is a repeat offender when it comes to covering up infectious disease outbreaks.

Even The New York Times wrote in 2017 that he helped with “covering up three cholera epidemics in his home country, Ethiopia, when he was health minister — a charge that could seriously undermine his campaign to run the agency.”

His actions were straight from Beijing’s playbook: “China denied for months in 2003 that it had a serious outbreak of lethal respiratory disease in its southern cities. That outbreak ultimately became known as SARS, for severe acute respiratory syndrome, and spread to several other countries, including Canada,” the article also noted.

While establishment media outlets have covered Germany’s findings, they’ve willfully ignored this incriminating discovery. Unsurprisingly, they’ve amplified the only portion of the report that conflicts with the US intelligence, the theory that coronavirus originated in a Wuhan laboratory.



Not only did the CCP botch its own coronavirus response, silencing doctors who alerted co-workers about the virus, but its calculated cover up impaired the ability of other governments to respond accurately, costing thousands of lives and taking an immeasurable economic toll.

It proves that holding the CCP accountable for coronavirus is not merely a talking point; it’s a justified response to the virus it spawned, spread, and lied about.

Have the demokrats proved that they did not orchestrate this pandemic with China? Well, until they prove innocence, we must believe that they did.

Quote:The World Health Organization denied a report that said Chinese President Xi Jinping pressured WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to conceal the truth about the coronavirus outbreak in a January phone call.

Der Spiegel, a German news outlet, published a report this weekend that said Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (known as the “Bundesnachrichtendienst” or BND) found that China “urged” the WHO to “delay a global warning” about the coronavirus outbreak. Specifically, Der Spiegel's report said the BND determined Xi and Tedros spoke by phone on Jan. 21 and the Chinese leader asked the WHO chief to “hold back information about a human-to-human transmission and to delay a pandemic warning.” The newspaper said the BND “estimates” that China's policy of concealing information about the coronavirus resulted in four to six lost weeks in the fight against the virus worldwide.

The WHO released a statement on Saturday denying the thrust of the article.

“ Der Spiegel reports of a January 21, 2020, telephone conversation between Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and President Xi Jingping of China are unfounded and untrue,” the WHO said. “Dr Tedros and President Xi did not speak on Jan. 21 and they have never spoken by phone. Such inaccurate reports distract and detract from WHO's and the world's efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The WHO noted on Saturday that “China confirmed human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus on Jan. 20.” The WHO publicly declared on Jan. 22 that “data collected … suggests that human-to-human transmission is taking place in Wuhan."

The WHO did not immediately respond to the Washington Examiner’s questions about whether any Chinese representatives had ever pressured the WHO to delay any of its coronavirus pronouncements.

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the GOP’s ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Chairman of the House’s China Task Force, told the Washington Examiner that “we are still working to confirm this reporting, but if it turns out to be true, it’s further proof Director-General Tedros conspired with the Chinese Communist Party in their cover up and is not fit to lead the WHO.”

There is well-documented evidence that China tried to cover up the spread of the coronavirus, muzzle whistleblowers, intimidate doctors, mislead the WHO, and block outside health experts. At least one study indicated that if the Chinese government had acted more quickly, the coronavirus’s global spread would have been greatly reduced.

Reports show Chinese doctors knew around late December and early January that human-to-human transmission of the coronavirus was almost certainly occurring, and the Chinese government silenced medical professionals who attempted to go public. Yet the WHO tweeted on Jan. 14 that “preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.”

On Jan. 22, the WHO's International Health Regulations Emergency Committee met and they “expressed divergent views” on whether the coronavirus outbreak was a public health event of international concern (or PHEIC) and said it "did not constitute a PHEIC” at the time. Tedros was reportedly the deciding vote. Tedros said “at this time there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission outside China” and “it has not yet become a global health emergency.”

Tedros praised China’s response after a meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Jan. 28.

“Stopping the spread of this virus both in China and globally is WHO’s highest priority,” Tedros said. “We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership, and the transparency they have demonstrated, including sharing data and genetic sequence of the virus.”

Two days later, Tedros praised the Chinese government again, saying it was “to be congratulated for the extraordinary measures it has taken to contain the outbreak.”

“We would have seen many more cases outside China by now — and probably deaths — if it were not for the government’s efforts, and the progress they have made to protect their own people and the people of the world,” Tedros said.

The WHO chief said China's "commitment to transparency" was "very impressive" and "beyond words."

On Jan. 30, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee met again and “agreed that the outbreak now meets the criteria” for a PHEIC.

The WHO did not declare the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic until March 11.

Last month, President Trump said “the WHO really blew it" and said the U.S. would be pulling its funding for the international organization because of its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The U.S. intelligence community reportedly believes the Chinese Communist Party downplayed the severity of the initial coronavirus outbreak and that China continues to mislead about the infection rate and death toll inside the country. Beijing has denied orchestrating a cover-up of its coronavirus response.

I believe Ted and the fact that he won that the million dollar Chinese scratch ticket, pure coincidence.

If they know it, we know it. Let Europe and China pay their travel and meal expenses.
