Because he is not a medical doctor. If someone was presenting on the black holes and they had "Dr." in their title, there would be confusion albeit minimal on if the "Dr." referred to medicine or just a Ph.D. "Dr." Tedros works in the health and medical field. A "Dr". in the title if plain misleading if he is not a MD or equivalent in other countries. Many things were founded by Kissinger and other characters whom society might retroactively deem unsavory. Do you disown all of them or is this just smear by association. Various figures like Hillary Clinton, Obama have consulted with him. Do you now consider them tained too?

> ”Dr." Tedros works in the health and medical field. No, Dr. Tedros works in the public health (not medical) field and his doctorate is in the subfield of public health most relevant to his particular job. His doctorate in the field is far more relevant than an M.D. would be. > Many things were founded by Kissinger and other characters whom society might retroactively deem unsavory. You should probably ask that in a post responding to someone raising Kissinger as relevant, not a random downthread post from that claim, but I, for one, certainly view anything connected to Kissinger with suspicion, not automatically wrong, but suspicious. > Various figures like Hillary Clinton, Obama have consulted with him. Do you now consider them tained too? Both because of and independently of the fact of their association with Kissinger, and not “now” as if it was news, yes, I consider Obama and, especially, Clinton tainted.
