TownHall: Australian reporter Rita Panahi slammed China’s Communist Regime and the World Health Organization for their failures to prevent the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. China was so worried about making sure they weren’t blamed for the virus that they did everything in their power to keep whistleblowers quiet. Instead of sounding the alarm about the Wuhan coronavirus, the WHO parroted the regime’s talking points, saying the virus wasn’t transmitted through person-to-person contact. The organization also failed to recommend travel bans to China.
“I want to talk about China’s culpability and conduct throughout the coronavirus crisis that began in Wuhan wet market. The Chinese Communist regime not only lied, destroyed evidence and allowed the virus to spread, but it arrested doctors who, back in December, tried to warn the world about what was happening in Wuhan,” she explained. “Some of the whistleblowers arrested and accused of fabricating, disseminating, and spreading rumors have since died. Other domestic critics, from a property tycoon to video bloggers have vanished.”
“China is not a regime that tolerates dissent,” Panahi explained. “China’s initial cover-up included destroying lab samples that established, in December, the cause of unexplained viral infections in the Hubei province. How many lives would have been saved if China had listened to experts instead of silencing them?” read more
The purpose of the Chinese Communist Party is to safeguard and perpetuate the power and privileges of the Chinese Communist Party. Period. Full stop.
NB — They are not by any means unique among govts.
World organizations like WHO and the UN have been taken over by the people they were set up to protect everyone against. Time for them to go.
Gladys I agree. I wish the President would revoke all US WHO funding.
While admirable a reporter is speaking out, she should get all the facts before parroting more mistruths and/or unknowns.
That the virus originated in a “wet market”, I don’t believe has been validated/confirmed. Tom Cotton stated in an interview with Sharyl Attkisson, that one-third of those originally infected in Wuhan had never been to a wet market nor had immediate contact with anyone did.
The Chinese are known liars. That’s one thing they have in common with MSM and various government officials in our country.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dir. Gen. of WHO was promoted by China to sit as the MahaDude at the MahaDude post. He paid China back. That’s all.

IIRC Gates is big with WHO. We also know that Gates holds patents on CV products. Makes me go hmmmmmmm.
Engelburka Engelburka- yesterday, I heard a virologist say that a woman who sold live shrimp at the wet market passed it on to others at the market and at home. She survived but she believes she picked it up touching a porta potty at the market.
I understand you have to be showered with the virus, not droplets, in order to catch it. (sneezing, coughing)
But if you have it on your hands and put fingers in the right spots, you got it.
MJA – I’m highly suspicious there are porta-potties at the wet market.
If the streets are good enough for Nancy’s and Schiff’s constituents to do their business, who believes the Wuhan wet markets have stricter regulations?
China and the WHO can’t be lying. I have been assured that Trump is the one with all the lies!
“World organizations like WHO and the UN have been taken over by the people they were set up to protect everyone against. Time for them to go.”
same goes for the current political class
the US Constitution was written with them in mind
If you don’t touch your face you before soaping you won’t get this
“The purpose of the Chinese Communist Party is to safeguard and perpetuate the power and privileges of the Chinese Communist Party…”
Welcome to the creed of the demcorat/GOPe party.
