WHO Seeks $1 Billion Funding Boost from International Governments
Breitbart - Politics ^ | 4-10-2020 | Simon Kent

Posted on 04/10/2020 6:52:42 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

The World Health Organisation (WHO) announced Thursday it is ready to launch an appeal for more than $US1 billion to underwrite operations against the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus believes the pandemic needs a whole-of government and society response, and to that end is seeking a new funding lifeline outside its existing United Nations funding stream.

It follows a similar WHO call in February which sought $675 million in “special, one-off funding” to deliver two months worth of direct aid to China and international agencies.

Now it is back again and asking for more.

“For the past 100 days, our unwavering commitment has been to serve all people of the world with equity, objectivity and neutrality. That will continue to be our sole focus in the days, weeks and months ahead,” Dr Tedros said.

The appeal and strategy plan will commence in coming days, Reuters reports.

The WHO appeal for funding came within 24-hours of Consumer Choice Center, a global consumer advocacy group, launching its own campaign to defund it.

“President Trump’s decision speaks to the larger inefficiencies and issues of transparency and accountability that have plagued the World Health Organization in recent years,” Yaël Ossowski, deputy director at the Consumer Choice Center, said in a statement he distributed to the press.

“While the failures of the WHO have only recently gotten publicity, this has been a long time coming,” Ossowski said.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, with the hands out: “How’s ‘bout sparing some change $1B for the brah-ther?” Most red-blooded Americans answer: GFY

Americans self-help with the leadership from Trump and his task force, Trump now says we probably WILL have surplus ventilator machines that WE can help our allies and then the rest of the world.

Who needs WHO and her bunch of bureaucrats, using corpse and suffering for ‘lives are endangered’. YES, the bureaucrats’ lifestyle is endangered.

In this whole situation ALL they can think of is to ask for more money?

Seriously?

If all the money they HAD couldn’t handle the problem, much less SEE IT COMING,... how will MORE money matter?

Maybe China can kick in the 1000% increase to equal what we’ve been giving compared to them - that would take care of half the billion they’re asking for....

The same Zeke Emanuel who said there’s no reason for anyone to live past 75. If that’s the case the Clintons, Pelosi, and Bolshevik Bernie are well past their expiration dates. And why is RBG still consuming oxygen? Maybe they should set an example for the rest of us. Put their affairs in order and show us how it’s done.

Hopkins’ ARCgis 4/10/2020 7:30 a.m. PDT

1,619,495 cases
97,200 deaths
=
0.6% Case Fatality Rate

Clearly that rate is going to reduce even further, likely to levels less than seasonal flu.

For multiple reasons, WHO should be cut off forever.

Footnote: Fauci lied to Congress when he stated that Wuhan Coronavirus was “10 times as deadly as flu”. Evidence: He had co-written an editorial for the NEJM just 2 weeks prior which stated that the fatality rate “was likely much lower” than even 1%.

At every opportunity which presents, I verbally chastise young mask-wearers in our liberal area as the following example demonstrates:

Me: “I’m very sorry for you.”
Lib: “Excuse me?”
Me: “It’s obvious you must suffer from a serious underlying health condition.”
Lib: “No, I don’t.”
Me: “Oh, I see. Then it’s a good thing you’re wearing a mask.”
Lib: “Excuse me???”
Me: “Clearly you’re infected.”
Lib: (perplexed look) or, “What do you mean?”
Me: “The DUMBASS virus is 1000x more harmful than coronavirus. It would be a tragedy for you to infect others. Me? I’m immune, so from where I stand ‘this’ [making portrait figure of lib with both hands] is cliché & humorous in ways you’ll NEVER be able to grasp.”

Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, “I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve.”

Somehow that scene/phrase came to mind. Hopefully this is the same moment in history with regards to WHO, UN, and other useless Leftist NGOs.
