Finally the MSM is ready to point fingers at someone other than Trump !
Last time I looked, NEWSWEEK is hardly a right wing rag.

How Bush and Obama Ceded the World Health Organization to China, Increasing Risk of Pandemics Like Coronavirus

The first time a China-backed candidate was named Director General of the World Health Organization, the president of the United States had other things on his mind. China had just a few years earlier botched its response to the outbreak of a flu-like disease, first covering it up and then underreporting the results. No matter. The president wanted stable relations with Beijing, and no one in his administration raised any particular objections to the selection for the top job at the WHO.

On November 9, 2006, Dr. Margaret Chan, a physician from Hong Kong, was appointed to her first five year term, having garnered majority of support from the World Health Association—the nations who vote on top appointments to the WHO. Just two days earlier, George W. Bush's Republican party had been hammered in midterm elections, losing both houses of Congress for the time since 1992. The Iraq war was heading south quickly, and in response Bush threw controversial Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the side, an acknowledgment that Iraq was a debacle. Who was going to run the WHO? In Washington the answer was simple: who cares?

Amazing stuff considering the Newsweak source (see what I did?).
The salient point is that China has co-opted the WHO and our globalist lackey presidents, Bush and Obama,
didn't stop them at all. They probably aided the takeover, as a matter of fact.

Every time I think of those two sitting in the White House for years on end, weakening and chipping away at America on a daily basis for the glory of globalist swine I feel like throwing up a little bit.
 
And as usual from our dear leftist friends...………………………………..crickets !

They would be all over this thread like flies on dog turds if it was a NEWSWEEK article trashing Trump !
 
And when Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the now-controversial WHO director general, stood for election in the spring of 2017, the Trump administration paid little mind. Trump's agenda when it came to China, as he had made clear during the 2016 campaign, was all about trade. "No one was particularly focused on [the WHO] at the time," says a National Security Council staffer not authorized to speak on the record.

Tedros, an Ethiopian strongly backed by Beijing, easily won the directorship. The first non-physician ever elected to the post, he defeated David Nabarro of the UK, who had been nominally supported by Washington, 133 votes to 50 on the final ballot. The New York Times ran a bland story focusing on the fact that Tedros was the first African ever to become the WHO's director.

Yeah, so it's racist then that we now want him out.
I know the drill, and I know how you guys work.
 
The president of the World Health Organization says he doesn't want Covid 19 to
become a "politicized" issue after his well financed NGO ignored information that implicated China as the
source of an infectious virus coming out of research facilities in Wu Han.

The WHO needs a house cleaning starting at the top. Apparently he doesn't seem to appreciate how
their boot licking and shielding of China as the source of this padnemic has enraged people all around the world.
