The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) announced on Wednesday that its negotiators had completed a final draft of a proposed international legal document to govern pandemic response, to be voted on at the World Health Assembly in May. Negotiations on drafting the pandemic agreement took years of often heated debate as W.H.O. negotiators pressured countries to agree to provisions to share medical technology with poor countries at discounted prices and accept international authority on public health policies. The drafters have not yet apparently agreed on what kind of international legal document the agreement will be — a covenant, treaty, or other...

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has been leading the fight against the new coronavirus as the leader of the World Health Organization, has come under severe criticism, including by President Donald Trump, for not holding China accountable for concealing the truth about the disease. Here are three things about him that have surfaced.Tedros, the first African to become director-general of the United Nations’ health agency and who will be in office for two more years, is being blasted for sounding the alarm too late even as numerous reports point to the responsibility of the Chinese Communist Party in putting...

The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, practically begged the United States to rejoin the UN-run agency after President Trump made good on his vow to pull the plug on U.S. participation on his very first day back in office. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to formally withdraw the United States from the WHO, citing its failure to hold China accountable and its role in pushing radical globalist health agendas that undermine American sovereignty. Trump’s executive order halted all U.S. funding to the WHO, redirecting those resources to...

Good riddance to the World Health Organization -- more aptly called the Woke Health Oligarchy. On his first day, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from WHO, a necessary step in putting the health of Americans first. Immediately the left-wing media sounded the alarm, quoting globalist-minded scientists at American universities and think tanks falsely claiming that Trump's move will isolate the U.S. from worldwide efforts to detect and limit deadly diseases. These claims willfully ignore WHO's disgraceful record. WHO was founded to create an international method of sharing data and fighting disease. But when it faced its biggest test --...

The media is hyping up outrage over the fact that UN’s World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at a Houthi airport in Yemen during Israel’s retaliation against the Islamic terrorist group over its attacks on Israel. The Houthis have spent over a year attacking international shipping, holding hostages, including from the UN, and generally following Tehran’s orders to terrorize as much of the world as they can reach. (All of this was enabled by Biden’s decision to drop support for the Saudi campaign against them and dismantle the Trump measures set up to control Houthi Islamic terrorism.) The...

The UN delegation was in Yemen to negotiate the release of UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation there. On behalf of WHO, Tedros sent his condolences to the families whose loved ones lost their lives in the attack, the statement read.The United States and the United Kingdom have previously struck the Houthis after the group disrupted shipping in the Red Sea, one of the world's busiest waterways. The US State Department considers the Houthis to be a global terrorist organization.Last week, a projectile fired from Yemen hit Tel Aviv, Israel's second-largest city, injuring at least...

The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared “it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers.” During a talk titled “Celebrating 50 years of immunization progress,” Ghebreyesus said: “You know the serious challenge that’s posed by anti-vaxxers, and I think we need to strategize to really push back.” “I think it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers,” he stated. “I think they used COVID as an opportunity, and you know all the havoc they are creating.”

This May May 27–June 1, 2024, global elitists and world leaders from across the West will gather in Geneva, Switzerland, for the WHO’s 77th World Health Assembly (WHA). Attendees from all 194 WHO member countries are set to vote on major amendments to the International Health Regulations that would effectively strip all power away from sovereign countries and turn it over to the WHO’s global health board in the event of a pandemic. If the ratifications are agreed to this month, the WHO will also be granted sole authority over what constitutes a pandemic. As we have seen over the...

Healthcare rapists As shocking as the revelations about mass rapes of women and children by UN “peacekeepers” and “teachers” may be, even more distressing is that UN employees supposedly dedicated to healthcare have carried out those very same atrocities and are led by an actual terrorist. As Frontline News previously reported, the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency, is headed by a terrorist who keeps rapists and pedophiles on staff giving them the power to abuse the poorest people in the world. He even flies these staff members to towns in the developing world, with fancy rental cars and...

WHO director general Tedros Ghebreyesus traveled to Dubai last week to hype "Disease X," the yet-to-be-released sequel to COVID-19 that is supposed to scare nations around the world into embracing an internationally binding pandemic treaty. Although Ghebreyesus has fear-mongered about the hypothetical pestilence for several weeks, it appears he has finally let questions and concerns over his proposed remedies get under his skin. In his Feb. 12 address, entitled, "A Pact with the Future: Why the Pandemic Agreement Is Mission-Critical for Humanity," Ghebreyesus lashed out at critics who have suggested his proposed "collective action" amounts to an affront to national...

In response to withering criticism over his questionable handling of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) head lashed out at Taiwan for "racist attacks" and accused Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of being complicit. During a press conference on Wednesday (April 8), a reporter asked WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom whether it was more difficult to operate during the pandemic with his moral authority eroded by criticism from world leaders such as President Donald Trump. Tedros responded by claiming that he had been assailed by racist attacks and death threats over the past three months. He...

Leaked letter and individual interviews suggest there may have been more than 78 who lost their lives. Scores of priests have been massacred in the Tigray area of Ethiopia, according to a letter purportedly sent by Church officials there. The Telegraph claims to have a copy of the letter, which was sent to the Synod of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and leaked to the British newspaper. The letter says that “priests, deacons, choristers, and monks” have been “massacred” over the last five months. “Half a dozen survivors confirmed the news to this newspaper and said that both Ethiopian national army...

The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) has thanked Ireland for its “moral leadership” on the crisis in Gaza. During a press conference with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus reiterated his call for a humanitarian ceasefire. Both Dr. Ghebreyesus and Executive Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Program Dr. Mike Ryan were in Government Buildings for a discussion on a “range of global and domestic health areas”. They also spoke about an international treaty to provide for “timely and coordinated management” of future pandemics. Earlier, Dr. Ghebreyesus and Dr. Ryan met President Michael D. Higgins in Áras...

The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that “COVID is here to stay and that we will continue to need tools to fight it.” During a press briefing on “global health issues” on September 6, WHO chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus furthermore urged “at-risk people” to receive “an additional dose [of the COVID-19 shot] if it’s recommended for you.” “The increase in hospitalizations and deaths shows that COVID is here to stay and that we will continue to need tools to fight it,” he said. According to the WHO director-general, one of these “tools” is the dangerous...

Per the document released by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, the proposed national budget for fiscal year 2024 explicitly “prohibits funds for other controversial organizations and programs, such as UNFPA, the World Health Organization, and the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund.” The specific impetus for this proposal appears to be the WHO’s recent declaration of censorship war on “misinformation” due to what it has termed an “infodemic.” “The infodemic can directly impact health, hamper the implementation of public health countermeasures and undermine trust and social cohesiveness. Infodemic cannot be eliminated it can only be managed. This...

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian microbiologist and director of the World Health Organization, (WHO) was recently captured on video saying that some countries are using COVID-19 boosters “to kill children.” This is the most honest thing that has ever come out of Tedros’s mouth. World leaders repeatedly refuse to acknowledge the data on hospitalizations and sudden cardiac deaths in the fully vaccinated and boosted. Sadly, the WHO walked back Tedro’s statements, and fact checkers now claim that his statement was a “slip of the tongue.” The Nov. 15 Instagram post includes a video of Tedros speaking to the press. In...

With Covid-19 cases on the rise worldwide, World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus asked on Tuesday for authorities to reinstate masking, ventilation, and social isolation. Speaking amid a press briefing, Tedros said that “the virus is running freely, and countries are not effectively managing the disease.”

"The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has called for all coming Christmas events to be “canceled” due to the rise in cases of the COVID-19 variant Omicron. WHO director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has given a stark warning to the public over plans to hold Christmas gatherings this year. The WHO chief warned that celebrating the festivities as normal would lead to “increased cases, overwhelmed health systems and more deaths.” He’s calling for stricter government measures to curb the spread while urging people to cancel gatherings with family and loved ones. ..."

Biden administration officials are divided over the origin of the coronavirus, but an increasing number now believe that it could have leaked from a Wuhan lab, according to a report. The once-derided lab-leak theory is now being seriously considered by senior administration officials even as most experts on coronaviruses maintain that the virus had its origins in nature, jumping from animals to humans, according to a CNN report Friday. On Thursday, the director general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said it was “premature” to dismiss the theory that the virus escaped from Wuhan’s Institute of Virology and...
