North Korea, a regime that starves its own people, was just elected to the @who Executive Board. No joke. What this means is that one of the world's most horrific regimes is now a part of a group that sets and enforces the standards and norms for the global governance of health care.

The WHO’s efforts to placate China are especially ironic, considering that China is the nation of origin for the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic which plagued the world for two years.

Also at the same session, the WHO voted to censure the state of Israel after the measure was loudly supported by representatives of Syria and Palestine, the terrorist regime which claims to occupy territory within Israel’s borders. ... Full story at American Greatness
