Sri Lanka and WHO. Both failures and now keep praising each other. This fellow will be gone soon.

Sir will now say we did the best and nobody talks about it.

But local people are not praised. What type of country we are living in?

When the vaccines were developed the WHO did not praise the manufactures. When the US, UK, Israel, EU etc vaccinated their population the WHO was silent. The Yuan does the talking now.
