WHO has some huge fails.

They didn’t declare it a pandemic until March 11 - extremely late.

They were extremely critical of travel restrictions, while the countries they did the best in the first year defied that advice and had the most extreme restrictions, like New Zealand.

They failed to actually investigate the Wuhan Lab that may have been the source.

They didn’t acknowledge airborne spread for two years - allowing people to live in fear of packages.
