US Intel Chief: ‘Indications’ That China Is Attempting To Influence World Health Organizationhttps://dailycaller.com/2021/04/15/avril-haines-china-world-health-organization/Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, told lawmakers on Thursday that the intelligence community has seen “indications†that China is attempting to influence the World Health Organization’s assessment about the origins of the coronavirus.
“We’ve certainly seen indications that China is trying to influence the World Health Organization’s efforts in this area,†Haines told Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick during a House Intelligence Committee hearing.
Fitzpatrick, a Republican, had asked Haines whether the intelligence community has seen any “covert†link between WHO and China.
Haines’ remarks are likely to renew skepticism of the relationship between the WHO and Chinese government. The WHO has been accused of placating Beijing and downplaying a series of missteps early on in the pandemic.
"Influence"? Well, if jerking the strings on a marionette is "influencing" it, OK. It would be more accurate and clear to say that WHO has been and continues to be China's
Running Dog.
