This just gets better and better. A bit of background: In December health officials in Taiwan told WHO about human-to-human transmission of the Wuhan virus. WHO ignored this. In fact, they repeated China's lie that there was "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission."
Since then WHO has continued to front for China, repeating the propoganda put out by ChiCom state media like "Global Times." Taiwan has been denied a seat at the WHO table since 2016 over its issues with China.
Now Bruce Alyward, Senior Advisor to WHO director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stonewalled during a Skype interview with Radio TV Hong Kong (RTHK). First he pretended not to hear a question about Taiwan's WHO membership, claiming Skype had frozen. The question was repeated, and he said Taiwan had already been discussed. When asked again about Taiwan he disconnected the call.
Note: Tis indeed a pity we have so few journalists here who will press these people.
