It seems that Dr. Ghebreyesus has considerations other than public health in mind, such as politics. In late January, the WHO declined to declare the coronavirus a global emergency. Then, when it finally got around to stating the obvious, it refused to name the microbe the "Wuhan coronavirus" (which is what everybody else had been calling it), opting in favor of the nonsensical but politically correct SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. (It is entirely routine to name viruses after locations. For example, Ebola is named after a river in Africa.)
On top of all that, Dr. Ghebreyesus praised China for its draconian response to the virus, which not only included quarantining millions of people but arresting anyone who "spread rumors." In an article for the Council on Foreign Relations, Michael Collins concludes:
The WHO’s weak response to China’s mishandling of the COVID-19 outbreak has laundered China’s image at the expense of the WHO’s credibility. The rate of infection in China appears to be declining, but the risk of a global pandemic is increasing. The time is ripe for clear leadership from the WHO based on science not politics.
Mr. Collins is absolutely correct. Dr. Ghebreyesus should resign.
But, of course, he won't. Not when WHO staffers spend $200 million a year on travel, flying in business class as they gallivant about the globe in 5-star hotels.

We’re about half of WHO’s funding.
One of the WHO guys blamed Western Drs for Iran poor health care and praised China for their response and health care
It was a bizarre article.
This guy appointed Mugabe as a WHO goodwill ambassador in 2017. Says it all
And, more than a few here on this site have cited WHO statements to challenge the updates given by President Trump and his Wuhan virus Task Force. Proclaiming doom and gloom and we’re all gonna die proclamations.
Wow, that figures. The people who run the UN and these international agencies are all corrupt and use their positions to steal.
It was. Before China "woke" us.
Yes, we must not blame the Chinese. Instead let’s blame the president for not being able to stop a virus from crossing borders. People are dumb.
Coming soon, an apology to Spain for calling the 1918 influenza “Spanish flu.”
I call it the Wuhanic Plague, but that triggers the Meta Concern trolls.
And while I'm rolling....kick the U.N. out of America!! NOW!!!
LOL, don’t give them any ideas!
Yes, and Wuhanic Plague has a nice ring to it. But we’d wind up apologizing, and probably paying reparations too!
After being booted off all social media and getting doxed by outraged liberal race warriors.
Just another example demonstrating the lunacy of those that would subject the American people to UN and “international” bodies. Remember when it was clear to Obama that the US Senate would never ratify his Iran abomination, he tried to “codify” it by having it approved by the UN Security council. The American people must come to understand that the open borders Democrats are at their core vile globalists.
Try to imagine this corrupt ideologue dictating the health policies of America.
You are so right. The Democrats would love to see a one-world government.
Baghdad Bob’s brother should have been sent packing the moment he made it obvious his primary concern was kissing President Xi’s ass.
WHOanic Plague?
I’ve never seen a 5 star hotel gallivanting about the World!
