WHO Caves

Sigh. It appears the WHO has bowed to international pressure as previously discussed in http://freedompatrol.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-cant-handle-truth.html. In that article I pointed out that the WHO was already at a level six pandemic according to their definition and either needed to declare the emergency or rewrite their definition of a level six pandemic as continued stalling made them look more and more ridiculous everyday.

Unfortunately the World Health Organization has bowed to political pressure and has in fact decided that you can't handle the truth. Rather than declare a pandemic they have, as predicted, decided to rewrite the rules of the game in the bottom of the ninth - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/23/health/policy/23who.html?_r=2&ref=global-home

I'm not surprised. Maybe slightly disappointed. Mostly just resigned. After all...who is John Gault?
