Was WHO Wrong & Trump Right About Travel Ban? (Pt. 1) | Melissa Chen | CORONAVIRUS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Melissa Chen (NY Editor, Spectator USA & Managing Director of Ideas Beyond Borders) about China’s role in the World Health Organization's response to COVID-19. Melissa discusses the failure of the CDC and the questionable guidance of the World Health Organization in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. She reveals how early warning signs from Taiwan were repeatedly ignored by WHO and how these mistakes resulted in a failure to contain the pandemic. She also discusses if Trump’s travel ban from China, which was instituted against WHO’s wishes, was a positive development in the US’s handling of the virus.
