Comments Against WHO: How Much Trump Right, How Many Wrong?
US President Donald Trump has accused the World Health Organization of trying to conceal information and not play a good role in managing infections after the coronavirus outbreak in China. He said he would review the assistance the US administration is giving to the World Health Organization and that assistance could be stopped.Peter Piot, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, called the decision dangerous and short-sighted. Why did Trump comment on the World Health Organization's response to the virus?
WHO was founded in 1948. It is a part of the United Nations.
It supports public health issues such as vaccine campaigns and health crises and helps countries in primary health. For this, the World Trade Organization is assisted by over 194 member countries of the world and the United States is the largest ally.
- Has the WHO failed to challenge China?
Trump alleges that WHO failed to challenge China's initial stance that coronavirus is not transmitted from person to person. China first informed the WHO on December 31 that 'pneumonia was seen for an unknown reason'. According to WHO reports from China on January 5, there was not enough evidence to show that the virus was transmitted from person to person.
Again, on January 14, the WHO reported this. According to preliminary Chinese research, the WHO tweeted 'there is no clear confirmation that the new virus is transmitted from person to person'.
On the same day, the Health Commission said that the limited possibility of transmitting infections from person to person was unavoidable, but the risk of continued infection was low. It was then that the WHO issued another statement pointing to the risk of infection from person to person, citing examples of other coronaviruses, such as SARS.
After a detailed study in January 22 in Wuhan, WHO issued a more clear statement that the virus was transmitted from person to person in Wuhan. But, importantly, a full team of international experts had not visited China until the second week of February.
At the end of January, the WHO praised China's efforts to control the coronavirus. China is committed and transparent, even the WHO said.
- Did the WHO ignore Taiwanese experts?
According to Trump, there was enough information to suspect that he could move from person to person last December, citing a warning Taiwanese sent to the WHO. The first time a virus was detected by a Taiwanese scientist was a visit to Taiwan.
But published facts show that Taiwan's information to the WHO does not mention anything that can be transmitted from person to person.
Taiwan is not a WHO member because its territory is not recognized by the UN. According to the WHO, he is sharing all the information with WHO health professionals.
However, a senior official declined to discuss Taiwan's response to the epidemic last month, after which the WHO was accused of being influenced by China."Creative criticism of China's appreciation of WHO is needed," public health lawyer Lawrence Gostin told BBC News, adding that "the WHO criticism still had to be heated and the situation still had to be closely watched.
"However, he wanted Trump's accusation to be an attempt to divert the public's attention to the blame for America's earlier preparations. The WHO has said it would review its response in response to Trump, but said his directory intends to limit transit to people.
WHO has been criticized for praising China's initial reaction to the virus. However, Trump himself praised China through a tweet on January 24.
However, the Chinese authorities initially tried to cover up the epidemic in Wuhan and to try to ease the concerns raised.
- Did the WHO give the wrong advice on tour restrictions?
Trump accuses the WHO of improperly advancing travel restrictions and that the United States has fought for US sanctions on those coming from China and other countries.
But the WHO has never directly opposed the US move, and it is the national government's stringent work on the border or on the tour.
But WHO initially offered advice. On January 10, he recommended there was no international hardship, and he repeated this when he declared a health crisis at the end of January.
WHO said, 'In some cases, the hardening of materials and the movement of people during a health crisis can be ineffective. When the WHO closed the border, it warned of increasing the number of people who wanted to visit illegally and that it could spread backward instead of stopping the epidemic.
'But many countries, including the United States, eventually ignored the WHO's advice. Any foreign passenger who traveled to China for 14 days prior to that date was banned from traveling to the US, according to a rule that Trump imposed on February 2. Trump also said such a rule would reduce the risk of coronary outbreaks.
White House health advisor Anthony Fauci said, "The restrictions we impose on China and recent Europeans play a big role in preventing the spread of the virus.
"But according to a study published by the Journal of Emergency Management in February, a visit to past viruses, such as Ebola and SARS, worked briefly to prevent infection.
