This is one way to apply pressure. The U.N and WTO should also receive attention. Some agencies are doing the bidding for China and the communists are influencing these organization via a top-down manner.

Petition calling for WHO boss Tedros to resign nears 1M signatures

An online petition calling for the resignation of the embattled leader of the World Health Organization neared 1 million signatures early Sunday.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Ethiopian politician who has led the United Nations-backed health body as director-general since July 2017, has been under fire over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 100,000 people worldwide and sickened more than 1.7 million.

Specifically, Tedros has been accused of allowing China to underreport the impact of the virus in Wuhan, the city believed to have been the point of origin for the deadly outbreak. The allegedly lowballed numbers from China have affected other nations’ ability to adequately respond to the outbreak, critics have asserted.

“We strongly think Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is not fit for his role as WHO Director General,” the petition with 853,000 signatures, posted on the Change.org website, states, calling for the official’s immediate resignation.

“A lot of us are really disappointed,” the petition continues. “We believe WHO is supposed to be politically neutral. Without any investigation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus solely believes on [sic] the death and infected numbers that the Chinese government provided with them.”

“From the information that we have it is possible that there is limited human-to-human transmission, potentially among families, but it is very clear right now that we have no sustained human-to-human transmission,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, acting head of WHO’s emerging diseases unit.

The WHO is however preparing for the possibility that there could be a wider outbreak, she told a Geneva news briefing. “It is still early days, we don’t have a clear clinical picture.”

Some types of the virus cause less serious diseases, while others - like the one that causes MERS - are far more severe.

The US needs to quit farting around with this. Cut all funding until satisfactory changes are made. The UN as well.

WHO haunted by old tweet saying China found no human transmission of coronavirus

The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.

“Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the organization had said.

It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak.

The Chinese government reportedly knew the disease was spreading before the tweet was sent, according to the South China Morning Post.

The New York Times’ China correspondent, Amy Quin, said Tuesday on Twitter that the country had begun expelling American journalists.

Axios reporter Jonathan Swan drew attention to Quin’s story on social media the next day and went on to criticize the Chinese government for instituting a cover-up and failing to deliver life-saving information to the public.

What the hell is wrong with you card carrying Communists? Why are you trying to pack water for China and WHO?

These self serving bastards have collapsed the world economy, killed over 100,000 people, and are still trying to cover it up.

If it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, it's a turd.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Why are so many folks copacetic with a communist heading the World Health Organization....Tedros.......and the WHO simply parroting the lies of the Chinese Communists?

Rather than science being their forte.....it's simply politics.

Tedros isn't a doctor. He's an Ethiopian terrorist.
