António Guterres (UN Secretary-General) video message on COVID-19 and misinformation.
As the world fights the deadly COVID-19 pandemic – the most challenging crisis we have faced since the Second World War – we are also seeing another epidemic -- a dangerous epidemic of misinformation. Around the world, people are scared. They want to know what to do and where to turn for advice. This is a time for science and solidarity. Yet the global ‘misinfo-demic’ is spreading.
Harmful health advice and snake-oil solutions are proliferating. Falsehoods are filling the airwaves. Wild conspiracy theories are infecting the Internet. Hatred is going viral, stigmatizing and vilifying people and groups. The world must unite against this disease, too.
The vaccine is trust. First, trust in science. I salute the journalists and others fact-checking the mountain of misleading stories and social media posts. Social media companies must do more to root out hate and harmful assertions about COVID-19.
Second, trust in institutions — grounded in responsive, responsible, evidence-based governance and leadership. And trust in each other. Mutual respect and upholding human rights must be our compass in navigating this crisis. Together, let’s reject the lies and nonsense out there.
Today I am announcing a new United Nations Communications Response initiative to flood the Internet with facts and science while countering the growing scourge of misinformation -- a poison that is putting even more lives at risk. With common cause for common sense and facts, we can defeat COVID-19 -- and build a healthier, more equitable, just and resilient world.
Thank you.

The Rockefeller and other “millionaires and billionaires” as Bernie likes to say, created the United Nations. The Rockefellers donated the land that the United Nations building is built on. This is a dynasty of the greediest and most power hungry people. These as the oligarchs of the world and yet they talk of peace as if their are saintly selfless beings.
This is why Hillary was next in line but fortunately it didn’t work out. Jeb was the place holder. He was going to lose gracefully then it would be his turn after Hillary stepped down from the throne. The democrats would enter a weak candidatewho would deliberately lose and get a nice pay off.
Trust the global government.
Ignore the internet (Trumps tweets).
Trust science and take the shot (Bill Gates says forced vaccinations are bad but this vaccine is good).
Got it!(sarcasm)
