MATT RIDLEY: The WHO has a terrible track record in managing epidemics, not least in its response to Covid-19, where it made a series of bad mistakes and did China's bidding.

The World Health Organisation is gearing up to persuade the world's governments to sign a new pandemic treaty in May.

'Let me tell you what the accord is about — it's a set of commitments by countries to strengthen the world's defences in several areas: prevention with a One Health approach; health and care workforce; research & development; access to vaccines, treatments and tests; sharing of information, technology, and biological samples. What is so problematic about those commitments?'

What would this mean for the Swedish government, which decided against fully locking down society and closing schools, avoiding the devastating economic consequences of lockdown without suffering worse excess deaths than other countries? Could it do so next time? A decade ago, the WHO admitted initially underplaying the West African Ebola outbreak for fear of offending member states, ignoring the alarm raised by organisations such as Medecins Sans Frontieres. It promised to do better next time. But it did worse.

He rewarded Xi Jinping by officially recognising 'traditional Chinese medicine' as legitimate science, even though it includes eating pangolin scales — encouraging persecution of the harmless anteaters almost to extinction.
