It was much more than a tweet -- it was their public stance which they used to base their recommendations to the global community at the time. And it was not only wrong, they likely knew it was wrong.

This was not just a tweet. It was the WHO's stance for two weeks prior to declaring the epidemic. They more than likely knew it was false (because China definitely knew it was false) at the time of tweeting it (again, they did more than tweet, this was their advice to the world re Coronavirus and shutting down borders), but left it up because they had other interests at play (namely, their ties to the CCP). They told the world in mid-January that this bug couldn't be spread human to human. They could have issued the pandemic much sooner and saved many lives in the process. They didn't... because: China.

Both of those are great

Yes, tweeted in January by the WHO citing China's numbers. Numbers we now know (and the likely WHO knew then) to be false. I'm not arguing that they shouldn't tweet relevant information in a timely manner, I'm pointing out that they've left up perhaps the most damning tweet in their entire organization's history rather than delete it. That's much more honest than I expected from them.

You don't think people should care that the World Health Organization is (still) promoting false information during a pandemic? (Or am I misunderstanding you) If it was just a random account, or unconnected agency -- I'd get that completely. But when it's the WHO, the veracity of the information tends to be more important (imo) ******************

"Because he (Obama) doesn't want to see another four years of me..." Fact check: True

Appreciated. Couldn't figure out where it was coming from (and why no one was linking a direct stat). The WHO still knows the claim is incorrect. Regardless of who said it, the WHO promoted it with that tweet -- which they should remedy. Yet, they haven't. Which, in today's world, is just stunning to me as it's PR 101.

Seeing a lot about a stat saying total US deaths in March were down 15% (due to the lockdown/less traffic/murder etc)

A Tiger King question now -- about pardoning Joe Exotic.

It's amazing to me that they haven't deleted this tweet.

Bingo. Because it is. Which is why it's a progressive talking point. It's a trick.

The media failed again in their narrative building... (it drives them NUTS)

Linda Tripp on her deathbed per reports -- not sure if it's bug related.

Shoshin -- it's not an exagerration. We are at constant war with our government. Constant. They've been chipping away at our rights and civil liberties for your whole life. They scored major wins in 2001-2003, then again in 2013 when the mass surveillance state was exposed and the country shrugged. This war isn't fought with violence, but with our votes and actions as citizens. It's our responsibility to hold those who govern us accountable, and what you're suggesting is abdicating that entirely in exchange for the government protecting you. The reality is, tracking won't keep you safe. It puts you in greater danger.

Freedom, right to privacy, and due process be damned, amirite? Make sure the bargain is worth it. What you're proposing is too expensive for little to no hope of offering a solution.

That was what the FBI/Mueller did with Russia... They weren't looking for evidence of collusion/conspiracy because they knew it didn't happen. They were using the investigation as a pretext to get the surveillance tools and warrants needed to sift through Trump and his entire team's lives for any crimes they could pin on him. ... And they came back empty. Because unlike his counterparts in DC, Trump is clean.

There's what the true hope is. It's not about saving lives, it's about "getting Trump." Speaking of investigations, how come you're still cowering in fear about having an honest discussion about the last big investigation? Could it be that you're all talk and no game? Nahhh... that can't be it

Any truth to the last tweet? I haven't seen it anywhere.
