I can only speak for myself, but the "red flags" that you speak of [1-5] aren't very convincing to me. That there are errors in WHOs data isn't surprising, nor that it needs to make pragmatic decisions in trying to get authoritarian regimes to cooperate. That WHOs guidance sometimes is confusing is what you'd expect from a world-wide organization in large part made up of volunteers run on a relatively tiny budget.

Unless you are an expert in epidemology or international humanitarian politics, I don't think the organization you would form would do a better job than WHO. Therefore I'm not interested in helping you.

If you want to help improve worldwide health then you could enroll in one of its many volunteer programs. That way, you would gain valuable experience in how the organization operates which would help you if you decide to create an alternative.
