WHO official warns against calling it 'Chinese virus,' says 'there is no blame in this'
By Morgan Gstalter - 03/19/20 02:19 PM EDT

An official with the World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday warned against referring to COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus,” saying that it could lead to racial profiling against Asians when “there is no blame in this.”

Mike Ryan, the executive director of WHO’s Emergencies Program, at a news conference urged people to be “careful” with the language they use when referring to the ongoing pandemic.

“Viruses know no borders and they don’t care about your ethnicity, the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank,” Ryan said.


He warned against characterizing the virus in a way that could encourage xenophobic behavior, saying he was sure “anyone would regret profiling a virus along those lines.”

Ryan noted that a pandemic of influenza in 2009 originated in North America but “we don’t call it the North American flu.”

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This currently believed to mainly be from Wuhan, Communist Red China-PRC.

There is nothing anti-Asian, since Asian are many varieties, including Taiwanese, possibly the single most Anti-PRC of them all.

TRhe story of Italy, found elsewhere, relates this virus catastrophe, to China-PRC delay in actiine.

Thoousands worldwide will likely die, on account of their needless dely.

No blame???    How convenient for the globalist elitist deep staters in and out of the UN.

There's blame all right.   And I'm betting that some day justice 'will' be served.   We just may not live long enough to witness it 1st hand.

Mike Ryan of WHO, your organization, parroting China, assured the world on 1/14/2020 that there was no evidence of human-human transmission of the coronavirus. Your organization has blood on its hands! 8888madkitty

What the US can do, is reduce our vulnerability to China. Make our own stuff.

Use comparable options, closer to home; our own hemisphere, for example.

I really hope this forces a new alignment between China and the rest of the world. They need to pay a heavy price and hopefully break the communist grip over the country in the process.

A little visit over to the WHO website.

LASSA FEVER

This next little factoid is NOT from the WHO link above. My point is they named it Lassa. They still call it Lassa.

The virus was first described in 1969 from a case in the town of Lassa, in Borno State, Nigeria.

There's plenty of blame, and it starts in Beijing. WHO has lost all credibility.
