When will we collectively start holding the World Health Organisation (WHO) responsible for it’s deliberate malversations?

In January, the WHO endorsed the Chinese hypothesis of the novel Coronavirus not spreading from person to person, while also stressing on the fact that the organisation does not recommend any specific health measures for travellers commuting to and from Wuhan.

Furthermore, the WHO also ignored Taiwan’s warnings after the country had repeatedly informed them about possessing evidence on human to human transmission of the virus.

Taiwan also wrote to the WHO on the 31st of December informing them about the same, but the WHO kept denying these claims until mid January, after which they had no other option left but to iterate the naked truth or risk standing exposed as the mouthpiece for Chinese propaganda.

Even now, Taiwan, despite being engaged in battle against Covid-19, is denied membership or even an observer status at the WHO solely because China objects, and refuses to acknowledge Taiwan as a nation.

Moreover, the WHO, since the inception of the Covid-19 age, has praised China’s efforts in containing the virus, repeated the country’s lies as facts, and hailed “Chinese transparency.” But as these lies have been exposed, it has become more and more apparent that the WHO’s primary aim is that of doing a good job as China’s ancillary staff.

Even Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director General of the WHO, gave an interview to Chinese state media in late January and said that Beijing’s response was admirable and should be emulated by the rest of the world. He then attributed “China’s success” to the superiority of their socialist system.

But China does not have a socialist system, it has a totalitarian system, and what Dr. Tedros, a man who himself was accused of covering up the Cholera epidemic in his country of Ethiopia while being the health minister, was actually doing was attacking democracy world over on behalf of Beijing.

However, what is most concerning about this whole saga is the fact that from mid January to mid February, the WHO was parroting Beijing’s line that no country should enact travel restrictions on China, and consequently, there were no travel restrictions on China with the exception of the US, which led to Covid-19 spreading across the world.

Therefore, what the WHO actually did, knowingly or unknowingly, is help spread the Coronavirus around the world, and they did it on behalf of Beijing.
