> “Tedros’s main opponent was Nabarro, whose first-hand experience of the WHO leadership’s incompetence during the ebola crisis had convinced him of the need for reform. Nabarro was not alone in his concerns about the WHO, and he reportedly received support from the US, the UK and Canada. This appears to have been the first time the West had woken up to China’s creeping influence over the health agency.”
> “The contest between the two men for the WHO director-generalship took place under new rules that had been introduced by Chan. Previously, the director-general had been chosen by the 34 members of the WHA executive board, but the new rules gave an equal vote to all the assembly’s 194 member states.”
> “Critics of the rule change, such as J Michael Cole of the Canadian think tank the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, have pointed out that the WHO was essentially copying the electoral system that propped up the famously corrupt regime of the former Fifa president Sepp Blatter.”
> “As with football’s governing body, tiny countries that might be susceptible to financial aid were given an equal vote to countries many times their size. Cole said tiny island countries such as those in the Pacific were “easy targets” for Chinese influence.”
Damning as it is, this is not the whole story, but just the tip of the iceberg that we are still colliding with.
That research in Wuhan was exported from the US when it was forbidden for being excessively risky, which is why certain western experts conspired in early 2020 to deflect any thought that the virus could have a lab origin, or using their own word, was “engineered”.
Those experts were being paid handsomely to PREDICT these pandemics, and they might instead have caused this one. Now they’ll ask for even more money to protect us from the ongoing fallout, in an endless wheel of grift.
