Americans at World Health Organization transmitted real-time information about coronavirus to Trump

Source: Washington Post

More than a dozen U.S. researchers, physicians and public health experts, many of them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were working full time at the Geneva headquarters of the World Health Organization as the novel coronavirus emerged late last year and transmitted real-time information about its discovery and spread in China to the Trump administration, according to U.S. and international officials.

A number of CDC staff members are regularly detailed to work at the WHO in Geneva as part of a rotation that has operated for years. Senior Trump-appointed health officials also consulted regularly at the highest levels with the WHO as the crisis unfolded, the officials said.

... for looking for ways that he and Kushner could make money off of the sickness and death
and no doubt he also talked with Saudi Arabia, his Vlad Daddy, and China on what they wanted
him to do.

This is brilliant and it needs to be everywhere and on everyone’s lips.....much better than “Lock her up!” This needs to be spread and repeated and pushed through echo chambers! This is how to reach people, smile message, simple truth!

Lock him up.

Wish it wasn't so necessary to do it for vindicating all his innocent victims though.

Who knew CvD-19 could become a dangerous pandemic? Who knew Al Qaeda was planning something big...something around commercial airliners.
