(Natural News) As of this writing, the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), which originated in the Chinese city by the same name, has spread to some 220,000 people and killed 9,000, but once upon a time, the global health agency charged with responding to such outbreaks in an honest, responsible manner…didn’t.

That’s because the World Health Organization’s leaders were too busy parroting Chinese lies about the virus’s infection rate.

In a ‘flashback’ moment reported by The Daily Caller, the WHO attempted to ‘calm fears’ of a potential pandemic as far back as January 14 when it reiterated the Chinese government’s obvious bogus claim that COVID-19 was not contagious.

“Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the WHO tweeted.
