I was listening to the Rush show earlier and he was musing about why the W.H.O was suddenly reversing course and advocating against lockdowns? Why now?
He went on to say, if Biden is a pawn for the globalists and he is assured of election victory, shouldn’t they be waiting this out and preparing to double down on lockdowns?
Maybe they know things the MSM is hiding from us abut the real poll numbers?
Of course the sceptic in me thinks, maybe they are changing course now to help Biden in a future economic recovery?
Thoughts?

The lockdowns are very unpopular, even in the solid blue states... Biden is not winning any votes by insisting the shutdowns remain/continue... This gives him top cover to reverse course...

May be, just may be, as new scientific data and evidences pertaining to covid-19 and the effects of lockdown on it's spread comes, they change their positions?

It's a game. Mark my words, the gaslighting is about to go full force that Joe Biden has been against the lockdowns from the very beginning. There will be lies upon lies about how how this economic disaster could have been avoided if President Trump responded "correctly." This is a desperation move trying to get the low information voters to the polls.

Before Biden, Kamala, Schumer, Pelosi, Whitmer, Newsome, Cuomo, etc., etc, etc. can flip flop their policy edicts, they need the news media and government bureaucrats to get out in front of them and make it possible for them to save face and pretend to be following "science".

This sure makes Governor Kemp of Georgia look like the best Governor in the USA, doesn't it?

If Biden somehow manages to win, by the time he is inaugurated, Covid-19 will have vanished like a fart in the wind.

Maybe they are actually caring about the world population and know there are more people dying from starvation than bc of Covid.

The cure can’t be worse than the problem?? The “cure” (lockdowns) are the problem in most 3rd world countries.

The poor are becoming whatever is less than impoverished. There are stories of Venezuelan refugees leaving Ecuador in droves so they can at least go back to starve/ die in their homeland.

Certainly, most certainly, if you believe that garbage you're an idiot. This was planned and dumbass politicians made their usual bad decisions, instead of following the constitution and letting citizens decide how to protect themselves.

There is no new scientific evidence. Economists have been warning since March that a global shutdown could end up killing more people than the pandemic.

This. The initial assessment of COVID 19 has been pretty spot on. The WHO did nothing but spread CCP disinformation that crippled global response and parrot lies about BLM protests not being a public health risk.

They play Covid like a fiddle. Whatever the situation requires, is their position and OMB. Apparently they think we cannot remember what they said yesterday.

100% this. If Biden wins in just a couple short months you will never hear about Covid again and he will be praised as the hero who saved us from what Trump should have done

The WHO has repeatedly underlined the importance of “flattening the curve” in order to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, calling on countries around the world to impose sweeping public health measures.

The outbreak has been recognized as a pandemic by the WHO, prompting many countries to impose so-called lockdown measures in order to contain the spread. WHO continues to call on all countries to implement a comprehensive approach, with the aim of slowing down transmission and flattening the curve,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media briefing Wednesday.
That was March 18th, BTW.
