Eminent Virologist Trashes WHO

Dr. T. Jacob John, a prominent virologist from the world- renowned Christian Medical College Hospital in Vellore, India, in a letter to The Hindu, April 27, 2020, points out WHO’s blunders/malfeasance in responding to Covid19:

“Early on, the World Health Organization (WHO) denied person-to-person transmission for want of evidence – subsequently proven wrong.

Later, WHO did not assess the spread of infection to countries on all continents as pandemic; its declaration was thereby delayed by at least four weeks, misleading the world.

Then, WHO advised that mask-wearing was not necessary for the uninfected….Now, everyone appreciates the value of the universal use of masks.

WHO now says there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection (‘World’ page, “Recovered patients not immune to re-infection,” April 26)…..

…That is indirect discouragement of convalescent plasma therapy for severe COVID pneumonia. Absence of evidence is conflated as evidence of an absence of antiviral immunity...There is no precedent for a virulent virus infection not inducing antibodies in humans – that is applicable only to the original hosts, bats. The human immune system is different and recovery from an infection means immunity.”
