世界衛生組織對新冠病毒一再做出宣示，但這些主張不是非常不精確，就是具有誤導性。
The World Health Organization has repeatedly made claims about the coronavirus that were either grossly inaccurate or misleading.
2020年1月14日，世界衛生組織在毫無根據的情況下重申新冠病毒不會人傳人，如今這種說法已被否定。世衛當時表示：「中國當局所主持的初步調查發現，在中國武漢發現的新型冠狀病毒沒有明確的人傳人證據。」但此一宣稱與經過審查的武漢報告顯然矛盾。
On January 14, 2020, the World Health Organization gratuitously reaffirmed China‘s now-debunked claim that the coronavirus could not be transmitted between humans, stating: 「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.」 This assertion was in direct conflict with censored reports from Wuhan.
2020年1月21日，據稱中國國家主席習近平對您施壓，要求您不要宣布冠狀病毒疫情是國際緊急公衛事件。您隔天就對壓力屈服，對全世界表示冠狀病毒不構成「國際關注的突發公共衛生事件」（PHEIC）。僅僅一個星期之後，也就是2020年1月30日，壓倒性的相反證據迫使您改變了立場。
On January 21, 2020, President Xi Jinping of China reportedly pressured you not to declare the coronavirus outbreak an emergency. You gave in to this pressure the next day and told the world that the coronavirus did not pose a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Just over one week later, on January 30, 2020, overwhelming evidence to the contrary forced you to reverse course.
