I agree that the WHO is too big, but there are many intermediate organization like the health association of each country that can make a good report.

That is not necessarily my opinion - I never expressed that.

You opposed «only [only] the opinion of one doctor (or two)» vs «some official conclusion by the WHO or other big organization»: does that mean that you can trust «big organizations» more? Organizations, «big» or «intermediate», live on funding. They are not free entities by nature. Their space of action is what is allowed to them (their margins may be broad or narrow, depending).

Ok.

At least with big or medium organizations it's easier to get a track record )good or bad). With individual doctors, it´s more difficult to be sure if she is a genius or a crackpot.

No health association in any other country has the investigatory capability necessary to definitively determine what happened in China at the beginning of the outbreak.
