> ex director at the WHO
Regarding his relation to WHO, according to his own claims (dead link on wikipedia) he was "Chief of the Cancer Program from 1997" (to 1999, just two years, two decades ago). But we also know that he falsely claimed to be professor on Imperial College, see also posts here.
- biofox 6y agoThere are documents in the WHO's online archive which support the claim. E.g.: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/331393/WH-1998-Sep-Oct-p19-20-eng.pdf https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/331393/WH-1...
- acqq 6y agoYes, thanks, there it is: "Dr Karol Sikora is Chief of the WHO Programme on Cancer Control" as per the magazine from "September--October 1998" 1) obviously not equivalent to "ex director at the WHO" 2) obviously more than 20 years ago 3) and "on cancer control", not on epidemiology still not anything to allow him to misrepresent his relation to Imperial College as late as 2020 (!) or to give a credence to his current epidemiological policy views.
