【#譚德塞不能說的秘密】《華爾街日報》4月5日社論，講述台灣早在2019年12月31日已經通知世衛，台灣有證據相信武漢肺炎病毒是人傳人，但世衛高層卻選擇只發佈中國提供的消息(「沒有證據是人傳人」），最後證明是fake news。

World Health Coronavirus Disinformation
By The Editorial Board, Wall Street Journal
April 5, 2020 5:28 pm ET

//The coronavirus pandemic will offer many lessons in what to do better to save more lives and do less economic harm the next time. But there's already one way to ensure future pandemics are less deadly: Reform or defund the World Health Organization (WHO).

Last week Florida Senator Rick Scott called for a Congressional investigation into the United Nations agency's "role in helping Communist China cover up information regarding the threat of the Coronavirus." The rot at WHO goes beyond canoodling with Beijing, but that's a good place to start.

The coronavirus outbreak began in Wuhan, China, sometime in the autumn, perhaps as early as November. It accelerated in December. Caixin Global reported that Chinese labs had sequenced the coronavirus genome by the end of December but were ordered by Chinese officials to destroy samples and not publish their findings. On Dec. 30 Dr. Li Wenliang warned Chinese doctors about the virus, and several days later local authorities accused him of lies that "severely disturbed the social order."

Taiwanese officials warned WHO on Dec. 31 that they had seen evidence that the virus could be transmitted human-to-human. But the agency, bowing to Beijing, doesn't have a normal relationship with Taiwan. On Jan. 14 WHO tweeted, "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission." The agency took another week to reverse that misinformation.

On Jan. 22-23 a WHO emergency committee debated whether to declare Covid-19 a "public health emergency of international concern." The virus already had spread to several countries, and making such a declaration would have better prepared the world. It should have been an easy decision, despite Beijing's objections. Yet director-general Tedros Ghebreyesus declined and instead traveled to China.
He finally made the declaration on Jan. 30—losing a week of precious time—and his rhetoric suggests the trip to Beijing was more about politics than public health. "The Chinese government is to be congratulated for the extraordinary measures it has taken," he said. "I left in absolutely no doubt about China's commitment to transparency."

A University of Southampton study suggests the number of coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95% had China moved to contain the virus three weeks sooner. Yet Dr. Tedros gushed that Beijing had set "a new standard for outbreak response." He also praised the speed with which China "sequenced the genome and shared it with WHO and the world." China didn't do so until Jan. 12.

On Jan. 30 Dr. Tedros also said that "WHO doesn't recommend limiting trade and movement." President Trump ignored the advice and announced travel restrictions on China the following day, slowing the spread of the virus. U.S. progressive elites echoed WHO and criticized Mr. Trump. WHO didn't declare the coronavirus a pandemic until March 11.

Not that any of this has prompted much soul-searching. Alluding to China, WHO official Michael Ryan said last week, "We need to be very careful also to not to be profiling certain parts of the world as being uncooperative." Beijing touted the remarks, as it has other WHO statements.
***

This record is tragic but not surprising. Much of the blame for WHO's failures lies with Dr. Tedros, who is a politician, not a medical doctor. As a member of the left-wing Tigray People's Liberation Front, he rose through Ethiopia's autocratic government as health and foreign minister. After taking the director-general job in 2017, he tried to install Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe as a WHO goodwill ambassador.
China inevitably gains more international clout as its economy grows. But why does WHO seem so much more afraid of Beijing's ire than Washington's? Only 12% of WHO's assessed member-state contributions come from China. The U.S. contributes 22%. Americans at WHO generally are loyal to the institution, while Chinese appointees put Chinese interests first or they will suffer Beijing's wrath.
China's influence over WHO has been organized and consistent, whereas the U.S. response has been haphazard. Washington needs a quarterback to lead the fight against Chinese dominance at WHO and other international organizations. Yet the State Department's Bureau of International Organization Affairs lacks a political appointee.
The U.S. will have allies in an effort to reform WHO. A frustrated Japanese deputy prime minister called WHO the "Chinese Health Organization." British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly is rethinking U.K.-China ties over China's lack of candor about the virus.

***
Congress should investigate how WHO performed against the coronavirus and whether its judgments were corrupted by China's political influence. Of all international institutions, WHO should be the least political. Its core mission is to coordinate international efforts against epidemics and provide honest public-health guidance.

If WHO is merely a politicized Maginot Line against pandemics, then it is worse than useless and should receive no more U.S. funding. And if foreign-policy elites want to know why so many Americans mistrust international institutions, WHO is it.//

Consumer Choice Center 嘅朋友發起 #defundWHO

//The World Health Organization (WHO) has been downplaying and covering up the dangers of COVID-19. Patients’ lives are lost because the WHO failed to detect, warn, and implement a suitable global response early enough for public health threats.

The overly politicized body has a history of failing patients. The shortcomings during the Ebola crisis six years ago did unfortunately not lead to an improvement of the WHO’s readiness. Our lives are too precious to be jeopardized by the behavior of apparatchiks cozying up with Communist China.

Already, many international leaders have begun to openly discuss the larger inefficiencies and issues of transparency and accountability that have plagued the World Health Organization in recent years.

But while the failures of the WHO have only recently gotten publicity, this has been a long time coming.

For years, the WHO has wielded its significant power and resources on misguided anti-vaping, obesity efforts while neglecting what should be its core priority: responding to global health crises and outbreaks.

It has been revealed that the WHO spends up to $200 million per year, or $28,500 per staffer, on travel costs alone, more than the budgets of combatting AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Not to mention they've been known to host extravagant galas and conferences that do not further global public health.

We witnessed this during the Ebola epidemic in western Africa in 2013-14, where the WHO was too slow to respond and inadequate in health policies, and we're seeing it in realtime with COVID-19.

The WHO and its Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus have cozied up to the Chinese Communist Party since the beginning of the outbreak and praised their failures. Even as late as January 19th, the WHO parroted the Chinese Communist Party’s narrative that human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus was very unlikely. Furthermore, best practice advice from Taiwan, which has been smart and quick containing COVID19, has been continuously ignored in order to appease the Communist leaders in Beijing.

Now is the time to send a clear signal that the WHO needs to be transparent and accountable for its failures.

In 2017, Consumer Choice Center led the efforts in calling on the United States and member nations to cut funding to the WHO to realign their priorities toward health emergencies such as the very real pandemic we currently face.

The WHO has failed in its principal mission and it needs to be defunded. These funds should be used to establish a transparent and patient-centric global public health emergency response body.//

Good question~ We don’t think it should be an issue. Married or not, it won't change a thing =)

這不是廣告或業配，這是用來參與比賽的影片！
希望能得到你的支持😤
This isn't a commercial or sponsored video, it's a video I'm entering in a competition! I hope you'll like and support it 🥺

當我跟朋友分享我要拍關於台灣的茶的影片他跟我說「好無聊！」我說「
我要去台東拍！」之後他就說「更無聊！」本來是想問一下對拍攝方式有什麼樣的想法，聽他講完後我就知道... 這會是一個很大的挑戰！
我最後自己去體驗看看學到了很多（紅/綠/烏龍茶都用一樣的茶葉！？），發現這個主題很有趣啊！
When I told my friend I was going to shoot a video about Taiwan tea, they told me "OMG boring!" When I said, "But I'm going to Taitung to shoot it!" they said "even MORE boring!" I was originally going to ask for some advice about how to shoot it... However after our conversation I realized this would be quite a challenge!
After experiencing everything myself I learned a lot (like how green tea, oolong tea, and black tea are from the same plant and leaves?!), and realized it was a great topic to begin with!
