World leaders must not politicize the coronavirus pandemic but unite to fight it, the head of the World Health Organization warned Monday, reminding all that the pandemic is still accelerating and producing record daily increases in infections.
The comments by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has faced criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, comes as the number of reported infections soared in Brazil, Iraq, India and southern and western U.S. states, straining local hospitals.
Tedros never mentioned Trump’s name or the fact that he is determined to pull the United States out of the U.N. health agency but warned against “politicizing” the pandemic.
“The greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself, it’s the lack of global solidarity and global leadership,” he said. “We cannot defeat this pandemic with a divided world.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that, indeed, the world was not prepared,” Tedros said. “Globally, the pandemic is still accelerating.”

Bit late, Red Dr. Ted
To not politicize this virus, Tedros has to go! He was the one who indulged in politicization of the worst kind by being so subservient to China.
Right.
When the left does it, it’s justified social action. When the center or right does it, it’s politicizing. “It” can be just about anything.
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
If there was ever a picture worth a thousand words, that is it!
The politicizer of the pandemic tells us not to politicize it? That’s rich!

Meet the world’s most powerful doctor: Bill Gates
The software mogul’s sway over the World Health Organization spurs criticism about misplaced priorities and undue influence.

Some billionaires are satisfied with buying themselves an island. Bill Gates got a United Nations health agency in Geneva.
Over the past decade, the world’s richest man has become the World Health Organization’s second biggest donor, second only to the United States and just above the United Kingdom. This largesse gives him outsized influence over its agenda, one that could grow as the U.S. and the U.K. threaten to cut funding if the agency doesn’t make a better investment case.
The result, say his critics, is that Gates’ priorities have become the WHO’s...
...The billionaire was the first private individual to keynote WHO’s general assembly of member countries, and academics have coined a term for his sway in global health: the Bill Chill...
“He is treated liked a head of state, not only at the WHO, but also at the G20,” a Geneva-based NGO representative said, calling Gates one of the most influential men in global health...
The final three candidates include Sania Nishtar, a cardiologist from Pakistan who has pledged to take the agency “back to its former glory”; David Nabarro, a British physician and former U.N. special envoy for Ebola; and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has served as health minister and foreign minister in the Ethiopian government.
...Last year, a French diplomat suggested that Gates also supports Tedros, having funded health programs in his country when he was health minister. Several foundation officials have denied this, saying that the foundation cannot take a position given that it is not a voting member country and thus has to remain neutral.
The new WHO boss will be selected by the member countries who have paid their membership fees on May 23, at an annual meeting in Geneva...
1. Chief is a racist term and AP should know better.
2. WHO is saying only THEY are allowed to politicize it in accordance with the DNC and China.
The WHO is owned by International Communists, its run by a communist. If they are complaining about what we are doing, then we are doing something right!
THANK GO President TRUMP stopped giving my money to this group of deep thinkers.
Thank GOD!! Praise GOD !!!
Tedros? It’s the guy on the right hand side who politicized this. He is the one who needs to go and all his running dog CHICOM lackeys, including Sloe-Joe.
Apparently he means don’t try to tell the truth about the ChiComs or WHO.
That ship has long since sailed.
Looks like it was already politicized & Tedros did it. Might mention to somebody who would listen if you can now find such a person.
Fashionably late.
It is TEDROS and his cronies who are politicizing it.
