WHO head cries racism to cover for his enabling of China’s lies about coronavirus
NY Post, Apr 9, 2020, Editorial Board

In answer to global complaints that he helped China lie about the coronavirus threat in the crucial early days of the pandemic, the World Health Organization’s top dog has opted to play the race card.

That’s right: WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is complaining that Taiwan is fostering supposedly racist attacks against him, and even death threats.

But he can’t even offer details beyond saying he’s been called names, “black or negro.”

In reality, the whole world has legitimate gripes about TAG’s blatant and loathsome loyalty to Beijing — apparent payback for China’s role in installing him as WHO’s boss.

All through January, Tedros and his minions vouched for Chinese authorities’ lies about the coronavirus, misleading other nations’ health authorities into underestimating the threat

[...]

Once the crisis is over, the civilized world needs to put a priority on cleaning the WHO house — starting at the top.

Unmasking WHO as a China apologist
NY Post, Apr 8, 2020, Miranda Devine


<snip>

What’s it been doing in the 17 years since the last deadly respiratory virus, SARS, emerged from China?

WHO was wrong about ­COVID-19 from the start. It bought China’s lies and then praised its “transparency.”

Taiwan warned Dec. 31 that the virus was contagious. Two weeks later, as China was punishing doctors and destroying virus samples, WHO tweeted the Chinese line that there was “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.”

It wasn’t until March 11, after the virus had taken hold around the world, that WHO declared a pandemic.

No wonder the president finally directed his ire this week at WHO, a United Nations agency, and threatened to cut its US funding for failing to warn the world about the disaster brewing in Wuhan.

“They [WHO] seem to be very China-centric,” he said. “They err on the side of China. They called it wrong. They could have called it months earlier . . . They should have known.”

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus responded Wednesday with a threat: “If you don’t want many more body bags you refrain from politicizing it.”

Really? This is Mafia talk.

Not once has Tedros criticized China’s malfeasance, including the hoarding of medical supplies, which caused shortages of protective gear, especially the masks WHO tells us we don’t need.

The single most effective measure taken in this country to slow the infiltration of the virus was made against Tedros’ vehement opposition: the president’s China-flight ban on Jan. 3, for which he was slammed as a xenophobe.

After the ban, Tedros tweeted: “The greatest enemy we face is not the virus itself; it’s the stigma that turns us against each other.”

It’s not stigma sending Americans to hospital gasping for breath. It’s not stigma piling up bodies in refrigerated trucks in Brooklyn.

We must never again trust woke transnational bureaucracies.  [...]

Taiwan is Tedros' major target. On the same day WHO announced there was an outbreak in Wuhan, Taiwan's health leaders tried to warn WHO that human-human transmission was probably happening. WHO was China's running dog, parroting China's denials until January 20th. For being correct, Taiwan is now WHO's bogey-target.

You'd probably need a galactic-sized machine/gizmo to unsuck this Tedros guy's lips from Xi Jinping's hindquarters.
How did Tedros get his current position? Was it support from the same people who just put China on a human rights council for crying out loud?

I want to hear loud and clear, from Nikki Haley and from Condi Rice.

We need to be firmly on record that we will leave or drastically defund the UN.
