The WHO also is claiming that Taiwan is just a part of China and the WHO will not accept a free Taiwan. Seems overly political and specific for an "independent" health organization…

They said wearing masks does not help decrease infectious spread. They actually claimed that wearing masks can increase infectious spread because of improperly wearing it.
