Oh My: WHO Director Was Exposed for Covering Up Epidemics...in 2017

The World Health Organization has come under increased scrutiny in recent months for its handling of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

Last night, Taiwan health officials released an email showing they warned the global organization the disease was spreading human-to-human in December. They also asked for cooperation and information.

Led by Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO ignored the warnings on behalf of China and continued for weeks to regurgitate Chinese Communist Party propaganda about the virus. WHO officials also roundly criticized the United States for implementing a travel ban to and from the country.

snip..

But it turns out Dr. Ghebreyesus, who was heavily backed by China during his pursuit of his current WHO position, has a history of covering up pandemics. From a March 2017 New York Times article:

"A leading candidate to head the World Health Organization was accused this week of covering up three cholera epidemics in his home country, Ethiopia, when he was health minister — a charge that could seriously undermine his campaign to run the agency. The accusation against Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was made by a prominent global health expert who is also an informal adviser to Dr. David Nabarro, a rival candidate in the race for W.H.O. director general."

During a briefing with reporters at the White House last week, President Trump heavily criticized the WHO for "blowing it" and announced a freeze on funding for the organization. Dr. Ghebreyesus responded with somewhat of a threat.

He covered up more than one cholera epidemic. The people of Haiti would like to have a talk with him.

As long as they give him a necktie (ahem...) I’m good with them chatting with him.

They can nit pick, cuss, and discuss it all they want. The only thing to do with the W.H.O. is let it go. Let China have it. Let China have the whole damned U.N. for that matter. Globalism is proven to be the exact wrong way to go, and we have to stop all movement in that direction NOW.

Tedros is just a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese communist party.

Tedros is a dangerous political scammer. Pull the plug.
