"An Outstanding Person"
The current director of the World Health Organization has made some very questionable statements and decisions concerning the outbreak of the Corona virus.
In early January WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus officially stated that there was no need for the world to take measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade such as worldwide travel restrictions:

Despite China's efforts to suppress information and their unethical handling of the virus, Ghebteyesus praised their pretense of containment by declaring that China "set a new standard for outbreak control."
statnews.com/2020/01/29/who-reconvene-expert-committee-coronavirus/
There are now calls for Ghebteyesus resignation.
The President noted the failure of the organization and questioned the motives of the man. The President tweeted “The W.H.O. really blew it." “For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?”
I would say that was an accurate assessment and a valid question.
Another question might be how Ghebreyesus ever got elected to his position in the first place?
Ghebreyesus was elected to his position as Director-General of the World Health Organization in 2017 despite allegations of cover-ups of Cholera epidemics in Ethiopia and Ghebreyesus involvement with the Communist Tigray People's Liberation Front. Under his "leadership" Robert Mugabe was actually named as the WHO's "Goodwill Ambassador!"
Here is what is really bizarre:
After the recent back and forth between the President and the Director-General, our very own senior adviser on the Coronavirus task force stood before the media and praised Ghebreyesus:
"Tedros is really an outstanding person." “I've known him from the time that he was the minister of Health of Ethiopia. “I mean, obviously, over the years, anyone who says that the WHO has not had problems has not been watching the WHO. But I think, under his leadership, they've done very well.”. ...Dr. Tony Fauci
Are you kidding me?
Why would Dr. Fauci go out of his way to praise this obvious China tool?

For your approval: The question of the day!
A question that really requires an answer.
I think it’s as simple is Doc F is just trying to be completely non political.
Interestingly the Director General never practiced medicine from what I read. First one ever for the WHO.
Interesting.
He is not a doctor, but a micro biologist, who specializes in communicable diseases, getting his degree at London University.
yea, so what would he know !
Does that make him a good man?
What about his statements as Director-General which backed up China's lies?
Shall we continue believing an organization with a track record of being systematically wrong?
First time in over 70 years the WHO has had a Director General who never practiced medicine.
I wonder what changed?
Maybe, like Trump, he was just not wanting to upset people ...
"Shall we continue believing an organization with a track record of being systematically wrong?"
Again, should we continue to believe Trump who has consistently Lied to US All, and "with a track record of being systematically wrong?"
Or maybe we should call out people lying to US ?
Why are not BOTH accountable to you ?
Of course not, I stopped believing anything dishonest Donald or his organization said years ago. Considering Trumps mountain of lies, the weak response to the current health crisis and his track record of failed businesses, failed policies and un-kept promises I can't imagine anyone with more than half a brain believing a single word out of his greasy mouth.
As for the WHO, they have saved millions of lives over the years and, while not perfect, are merely trying to function in many different countries during health emergencies. Their goal is to save lives unlike dirty Donald who merely wants to use any crisis as an opportunity to boost his own ego and win an election by taking credit for any success and blaming others for any failure. Anyone who thinks the moron-in-chief cares about anyone but himself is seriously deluded and can only have that perspective by firmly ramming their heads up Trumps voluminous backside.
Being a doctor does not mean you have an expertise in virology. Research PhD's usually do that kind of work.
I have no idea what kind of man he is, and neither do you Vic. Neither of us are in the position to judge him.
We are assuming China is lying. There has been no hard core proof. We are going on past track records.
And I would like this for the record. I said on Feb 2 that the WHO lies. They lied to prevent a panic. I think they knew, without help from China the situation was bad but was still hoping for the best.
I am unaware of their record. Could you please provide a information showing that they have been consistently wrong.
Nah, believe the moronic Democrats that ignored the problem until it was far too late.
How is that Impeachment working out for you? NY, Detroit, Chicago, hell all of the Democrat bastions of stupidity are the epicenters of the virus. What makes them so damn special? What are they doing differently than everyone else? Rather than looking in the mirror and finding out what went wrong they throw stones at the easiest target available, Trump.
The left, making excuses for everyone, including China, that doesn't have an R behind their name- but blame Trump for everything. Ask them a simple question on what they would have done differently- and get but Trruuummmppppp!!!!! Predictable, pathetic, and absolutely politicizing everything.
I said it before, we are not going to learn one damn thing from this. Once it is over the political morons will try to get us "back to normal" as quickly as possible. Maybe the next pandemic virus from China will do enough damage to get past their rocks for brains. Or will kill so many of us off no one will be left around to care?
I think it's fair for me to say he is China's man. He is in their back pocket.
There has been no hard core proof.
No? Let me be the first:
Could you please provide a information showing that they have been consistently wrong.
I refer you to the two links in the article. In addition is this:
I never said it did. As I noted, I just think it’s curious he’s the first that never practiced medicine.
And the circumstances surrounding his appointment make it even more curious.
I work with some nice people - then you watch them try to open a lunch bag.
when asked paper or plastic, i always go with plastic and tell the clerk it will A phix iate all that is wrong with me !
They're all commies. Congress should set up an un-American Activities Committee to investigate all these commies. Fauci too. He looks like a pinko.
Yep, dig up McCarthy and revive him. Let's ruin a bunch of lives like he did. While we're at it, we should rewrite the words "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" to "We have nothing to fear but commies". Hollywood can do a movie "The Commies Are Coming. The Commies Are Coming".

Nice strawman .....
Really? I could have sworn it was a direct response to Buzz's comment that Hollywood should make a
movie.............and it seems that they already have.
My bad, it’s Buzz’s strawman ...... you just expanded on it.
So you can't or won't answer it either.
Projection is your only response?
I like ya man, but the government of China lied and allowed the outbreak to go world wide. The WHO was complicit!
I know what to expect from some, but I expect more from you.
So weak has the media’s narrative been that despite their attempts to politicize the crisis, even most Democrats are blaming China.
According to the Harris Poll :
Thank you.
Excuse me Vic.
Can't answer what exactly?
Did JR ask a question? Did Buzz?
Surely you don't think I can see or answer something deleted by the RA, do you?
Rinse & repeat?
You’re most welcome.
Why did you choose to expand on such an obvious strawman?
Just helping a fellow brother out,
communicating with a member who has 'limited' resources.
Surely, that's within the CoC?
Roger that ..... intentionally supporting a disingenuous talking point. Understood.
You’re the Mod so you tell me.
Really Matt Palumbo from Bongino's Blog?
The link to the Harris Poll report doesn't support the bullet points
The bullet points can be found on Newsmax with no attribution.
Similarly on a Yahoo News article with this tidbit.
That's significantly different than saying 54% believe this.
Also they appear to have pulled thier information from a tweet which include the same bullet points offered by a link to the pay walled Washington Post.
The actual data for the actual Harris Poll is here.
Good luck finding the truth.
Now attacking the source which provided a poll? I only offered the poll, which is real. We do have to accept what's real, don't we?
That's significantly different than saying 54% believe this.
It's significantly different than a simple "do you believe China?" isn't it?
The actual data for the actual Harris Poll is here.
Thanks for the dance, but there is that little issue of why Fauci praised Ghebreyesus?
It was fodder for some people, right? Oh, maybe I shouldn't go there!
Nothing in comment 2.1.9 about that.
Frankly Vic....I don't give a damn what Fauci says any more.
There is no issue.
He's one of three people getting too much air time and making WAGs and excuses.
Some seeds are fodder and some are the end result.

Hah! I didn't know - Paranoia is one of the instincts that keeps us alive - I'm glad so many are openly displaying theirs.
Lol .... are you okay Buzz?
LOL. Of course I am - I'm just teasing those who are so damned paranoid.
(Actually I'm not entirely sure which of my comments your reply is in reference to.)
The last one and by the way I’m a guard dog, not a wolf.
And as such I’m very curious and attentive to the environment around my sheep.
Much better to catch the wolves that way .....
Does The WHO’s corruption bother you at all John? Or is it just one of those things we should ignore so we can focus 100% of our attention on that meanie trump?
The WHO is just an extension of UN disfunction. Both are regularly hailed and defended by some on the US left in spite of that.
Why is still a mystery.
because it's after X and before Z ?
Recalling back to not long after the UN located in NYC, in the early 1950s, I went on a tour of the building, marveled at the artworks, and sitting in the GA balcony watched the venerable Krishna Menon speak, and thought that it was the answer to all the world's ills, and would lead to universal peace forever. However, because of the vicious bias against Israel because of the control of the GA (but fortunately not the UNSC) by the Arab league, I no longer had any use for its existence except for the good work that was being done by the WHO and UNICEF and MAYBE the Peacekeeping forces (which much to the chagrin I'm sure of some of the members of NT consists with more Chinese soldiers than of any other nation). So now that WHO is under attack by so many...is there even less need for its future necessity and existence?
That is certainly up for discussion by many and not just America. That said I think you are over reacting. The WHO is not an island and simply needs to be held responsible for its screw ups just like anyone else.
Same with China. That’s all anyone is saying.
Referring to McCarthyism is an EPIC fail. Ghebreyesus either blindly believed everything China told him or is willfully standing by China. Either way he shouldn't be leading the WHO.
As for Fauci, I notice you have zero explanation for why he praised Ghebreyesus.
I think Dr. Fauci did pretty well explaining himself.
No one else owes you an explanation for Dr. Fauci but Dr. Fauci.
No, he didn't.
Since you can't explain why he did it maybe you can explain the left's fixation with Dr Strangelove?
What?
Never heard of it.
I would not google that if I were you - lot's of strange references to Italy
I will posit that the film is not a left right argument at all but skewers whoever is in power at the time.
Years ago it was used against Bush and Obama.
Now it's Trump's turn maybe?
He's believed/sided with China during 2 epidemics/pandemics.
This corrupt SOB is one of the last people who should lead the WHO. Don't even get me started about the entire UN even occupying real estate in the US, especially now that it welcomed China into their "Human Rights Council".
A Chinese stooge whose claim to fame is covering up cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia lied about corona virus in service of his Chinese masters. The WHO is broken beyond repair.
if only this “scientist” believed Taiwan existed and listened to the Taiwanese scientists who tried telling the WHO real nature of the virus in the early days. But Taiwan doesn’t exist per the WHO.
That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Like the UN, the WHO does not recognize Taiwan as a separate country since the China
ROC seat was officially given to Beijing in 1971 after Resolution 2758.
Sort of like the USA, since 1979, when they officially recognized Bejiing and stopped referring to mainland China as Taiwan
relegating Taiwan to an informal and unofficial ( but robust ) relationship.
In fact only 20 other countries currently recognize Taiwan, up from 15 several years ago.
That's 90% of all countries who do not recognize Taiwan.
Tedros may have the papers saying he's a scientist, but he's repeatedly proven himself to be a lying piece of scum for years. Due to his corrupt soul, hundreds of thousands of people in the world have suffered and died.
Very good question, and I find it disturbing that he would praise a Communist. It's also noteworthy that COVID-19 isn't Tedros' first rodeo in controversies and cover-ups/downplaying epidemics.
Tedros' political party, TPLF is far-left.
I doubt you'll get a direct response to that.
The only response that I might get is an immediate criticism of my having used Wikipedia, but if they actually read and study, they'll learn that the sources are articles from NYT, The Guardian, Lancet, and Ethiopian news.
Whatever floats their boats is fine with me.
Do you understand WHY Trump LIED about and downplayed the first few months of this pandemic >??
It would eventually have serious negative effects on our country, and it's economy.
.
This is why China obviously Downplayed the virus, and why other countries, such as your examples, were also obviously downplayed and reported..
.
I don't know much about the head of WHO are you to call him out to far more stringent levels of truth accuracy than that of Trump, because that is complete and total hypocrisy in my eyes, and i'm not just singling you out, i just thought your points made a good example.
I find it interesting how so many around here are so concerned with downplaying and or / LYING,
yet give A total pass to our liar in chief.
I truly don't understand it, and refuse to accept it and will continue to call it out.
bottom line,
when the ';right' refused to ever call out and hold Trump responsible for his BS and lies, they have not the moral and ethical High Ground to chastise others for the same behavior.
.
Just my thoughts on my observations.
.
Do you see my point ?
I did not post what you block quoted, so please redirect your personal accusations.
All apologies, as i'm not sure HOW i even did that, as i'm not tech savy at all.
So, as all can see for themselves, and me taking responsibility and admitting my bad, why don't you address my concerns ?
read post 5.1.4
and if you wish to debate it, or ANYTHING ELSE,
bring it, if you can lift it, cause i know you aren't gonna carry it for long.
I accept your apologies. Thank you.
you wrote this reply about my misstep, as if it was a common strategy of mine.
It is not, it was accidentally done and i have no problem admitting and apologizing for it.
.
Since Jasper doesn't wish to respond to my questions, how about you, as you seem to wish to speak for Jasper ?
your actions do not match your words, and my perceptions certainly do appear to be YOUR problems, as why would i have a problem with what my critical thinking process creates, as in MY perception, and yes,
ALL PERCEPTIONS ARE
PERSONAL
How do you perceive that...
These are all well respected publications. Why do you feel the need to spin and paraphrase them?
In comments 5 and 5.1.1, I posted direct quotations from Wikipedia with citations from reputable publications, so precisely where did I "spin and paraphrase" anything?
And why is that, exactly?
In fact, I'm beginning to think that there are a lot of NT members who wouldn't praise a Communist even if he/she were to come up with the absolute cure for cancer.
Likely not. But....if they had an (R) in front of or behind their name.....???
LOL. Trump and Putin don't seem to be enemies, and isn't Trump your hero?
