Top medical journal: Trump made up a report to attack World Health Organization

According to the Lancet, the Trump administration fabricated a report in a letter threatening to defund the U.N. health agency.
On Tuesday, one of the world's top medical journals said that Donald Trump lied in recent letter to the World Health Organization, which threatened to permanently withhold funding from the agency.
The letter, sent Monday, stated that a review of the organization's response to the coronavirus crisis found that it "consistently ignored credible reports of the virus spreading in Wuhan in early December 2019 or even earlier, including reports from the Lancet medical journal."
The letter also stated that the Trump administration would withdraw its support of the organization if it did not "commit to major substantial improvements in the next 30 days."
However, contrary to the claim in the letter, the Lancet did not publish anything about the new coronavirus in December 2019.

Stated another way, the plan is to default on public problem solving, and then prevent the public from understanding the consequences of that default. To succeed this will require one of the biggest propaganda and freedom of information fights in U.S. history, the execution of which will, I think, consume the presidents re-election campaign. So much has already been made public that the standard script for a White House cover up (worse than the crime
) wont apply. Instead, everything will ride on the manufacture of confusion. The press wont be able to expose the plot because it will all happen in stark daylight. The facts will be known, and simultaneously they will be inconceivable."

They point out the first 2 publications in The Lancet were on Jan 24 - one from a team all from mainland China, and one from Hong Kong and China.

(70,442 posts)... by getting the virus and its sequenced genome from China in Nov. or Dec. of 2019 and
passing that information on to scientists in Germany who made a perfectly good kit to
detect C-19 and that kit has been used all over the world to help stop the spread of the
disease by testing and tracing? The same kit that Trump rejected so he and Kush-Turd could
peddle their own C-19 test kits and make lots of money.
BTW Trump and company were told of the virus and the real possibility of a global pandemic
in November of 2019*. And that is when Trump and Kush-Turd invested in their own C-19
test kits and hydroxycholorquine. Trump owing China a shit load of money might have very well
contributed to his late and ill prepared response to C-19 too.
