The WHO or any other "big organization" is as much an expert as anyone in the respective field. In fact the likelihood of political influence correcting scientific results is much higher, especially in the case of the WHO.

That does not mean that everything the WHO is false or a conspiracy. But it certainly should not be seen as a sole authority on anything really. And it also has the task to keep everyone at the table that trumps scientific accuracy. That is a compromise that is needed to keep nations cooperating.
