You may have heard that President Trump has credibility issues. Yesterday he called the WSJ fake news. The reason being that the editorial board suggested his briefings might benefit from a little more focus.

But he had a point on Tuesday when he ripped the World Health Organization for kissing up to China. Here’s Rich Lowry writing in Politico:

China committed unforgivable sins of commission, affirmatively lying about the outbreak and punishing doctors and disappearing journalists who told the truth, whereas the WHO committed sins of omission—it lacked independence and courage at a moment of great consequence.

In effect, China and the WHO worked together to expose the rest of the world to the virus, at the same time they downplayed its dangers

And, in mid-January, the World Health Organization claimed there was no proof of human to human transmission of the virus.
