5 billion other people on the planet. Get your data from them.

Besides. There's more data out there on Covid now then scientists could possibly ever know what to do with.

WHO are freakin useless.

Nope. Never been there and not interested. But no wonder they don't like us.
We need to mind our own damn business. Leave them alone. Unless its hunan rights violations or yes, invading other nations. We need to butt out of their business.

In fact? This world would be a whole lot better if everyone learned to mind their own business better.

So covid control isn't a human rights issue?

How about genocide? Slave labor? Unsafe working conditions?

100% valid but this guy needs to be spoon fed the most basic shit, let's come back to that in a little bit.

Ethics aside, Human rights violations inside their own country is arguably less important to the rest of the world, than potential new COVID variants that can spread to the rest of the world. These variant may be just like omicron, or it may be weaker, or even more dangerous, but we don't know that, because we don't have the data. This is why the COVID situation in any country anywhere, not just China, is everyone's damn business.

The world needs to know the specific types of mutations that had occurred in the outbreak in China, which obviously they can't get from the "five billion" other people "out there" in the rest of the world. And they need to know that because, when these mutations inevitably make their way outside of China, the rest of the world needs to know what may be the potential effects and how to prepare for it.

This isn't a request that is specific to China. This is expected from all other countries when a new variant potentially arises. No country should be allowed to keep their outbreak data secret for the safety of the world.
