I dont actually think they ever said it couldn't be transmitted between people. In the early stages it was "no reported instances", which doesnt rule it out.
What's your COVID-19 gameplan?

"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel Invalid Link Removed (2019-nCoV) identified in Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed"
uh huh.

And as they continued the investigation, when did they ever say that it couldn't be transmitted between humans? "Preliminary" and "no clear evidence" is exactly what they should have said if they didn't know one way or the other at that point.
If you want to believe that, go for it.
Its not like the CCP or WHO hid anything.

CCP probably did hide quite a bit and are continuing to, but that has nothing to do with whether the WHO said it didn't transmit between humans. For the sake of argument, let's say the WHO was hiding something too. That doesn't change the fact that "we haven't found anything yet" doesn't mean "humans aren't passing it to each other, nothing to worry about."

I've already posted at length in this thread about my thoughts on WHO and their involvement.
Aleks summed up what I was referring to though - no clear evidence is not the same as saying it isnt happening.
The CCP reported 0 new cases between the 2nd and 14th January. 0. They fed that back to WHO who reported no clear evidence of human to human transmission as, at that time, the CCP had stated 0 new cases in over 10 days despite apparent widespread contact tracing.
The WHO regurgitated what it was told as they have no powers to just enter China and investigate for themselves.
I don't think I asked you. I said Ok. I believe otherwise.
