U.S. scientists not allowed into China to investigate coronavirus origins, Mike Pompeo says

graphic below. Though China's numbers are disputed, there have been 83,876 confirmed infections and 4,634 deaths.The Trump administration has also directed its ire at the WHO, accusing the United Nations body of pandering to China and failing to ensure Beijing's transparency."It is the World Health Organization's responsibility to achieve that transparency." Pompeo argued."They're not doing it. They need to be held accountable.

Trump has been accused of misrepresenting the WHO's performance during the crisis. The president framed the body as opposing his restrictions on travel from China—measures that were not, as Trump claimed, a total ban—but the organization did not publicly criticize the move. China and Xi have been accused of sitting on the vital information for six days in January, even as millions of people traveled inside China and abroad in the run-up to Lunar New Year.

The president has suggested that WHO teams should have been on the ground in China faster to study the virus. However, China did not agree to allow WHO doctors and epidemiologists to visit the country until mid-February, by which time the outbreak was already well on its way to being a pandemic.

Why is that surprising? Americans are still dying and getting infected at an alarming rate. I wouldn’t want a nurse coming into my house straight from a hospital full of covid patients.

Remember the 'washing powder scandal' on Iraq carried by the US scientists?

Didnt we pull our team from China before this started? Am I wrong to think that if our team was there we would have had more of a heads up on this situation? 🤷‍♀️

The US and China colluded to create Covid-19, to throw sheeple off the scent, they are ramping up stakes. Call it tying up loose ends!

DISTRACTION AGENT! Let the Idiot know America is wise to these ploys now and they don't WORK!

Hardly surprising, but how depressing is it to feel that you can't trust either the Chinese leadership, or the current administration?!?

In 2018 trump administration does away with the pandemic response team!

US scientists not allowed in the White House or CDC

Why would China give the US access to anything when it is pretty clear that the US only wants to blame China?

In practical terms, the origin of the virus in now moot, we have to deal with the public health problem it presents.

US scientist ousted in the US for following science. SecPompeo

Right. Like we’d let China in to investigate if they requested. 🙄

Sure since Trump would gas up the scientists why would they waste their time?

This is serious. China must be hiding something deep.

It’s ok SecPompeo - realDonaldTrump can just chat with China’s PM and share his wonderful diplomatic skills about how transparent they’re being via twitter with us mere mortals like he did for the last 2-3 months. Don’t you trust your POTUS 🤷‍♀️

Wasn’t this announced awhile back?

The US just banned all immigration.

The head of the WHO is not even an MD. How did he get the job?

He’s probably lying..it’s bad when I believe china, NK, Russia etc more than I believe anyone coming out of the trump administration..Pompeo4Prison
