The most influential organization in the world with nominal responsibility for global health and epidemic issues is the United Nations\u2019 World Health Organization, WHO, based in Geneva. What few know is the actual mechanisms of its political control, the shocking conflicts of interest, corruption and lack of transparency that permeate the agency that is supposed to be the impartial guide for getting through the current COVID-19 pandemic. The following is only part of what has come to public light.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Pandemic declaration?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

On January 30 Tedros Adhanom<\/strong>, Director-General of the UN World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern or PHIEC. This came two days after Tedros met with China President Xi Jinping<\/strong> in Beijing to discuss the dramatic rise in severe cases of a novel coronavirus in Wuhan and surrounding areas that had reached dramatic proportions. Announcing his emergency PHIEC declaration, Tedros praised the Chinese quarantine measures, measures highly controversial in public health and never before in modern times attempted with entire cities, let alone countries. At the same time Tedros, curiously, criticized other countries who were moving to block flights to China to contain the strange new disease, leading to charges he was unduly defending\u00a0China.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first three cases in Wuhan were reported, officially, on December 27, 2019, a full month earlier<\/strong>. The cases were all diagnosed with pneumonia from a \u201cnovel\u201d or new form of SARS Coronavirus.<\/strong> Important to note is that the largest movement of people in the year, China\u2019s Lunar New Year and Spring Festival, during which some 400 million citizens move throughout the land to join families went from January 17 through February 8. On January 23, at 2am two days before start of actual New Year festivities, Wuhan authorities declared an unprecedented lockdown of the entire city of 11 million as of 10am that day. By then, hundreds of thousands if not several million residents had fled in panic to avoid the quarantine. <\/span><\/p>\n

By the time the WHO declared its Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January, precious weeks had been lost to contain the disease. Yet Tedros effusively praised the \u201cunprecedented\u201d Chinese measures and criticized other countries for placing \u201cstigma\u201d on Chinese by cutting travel. <\/span><\/p>\n

In reference to the Wuhan COVID-19 spread and why WHO did not call it a pandemic, the WHO spokesman, Tarik Jasarevic, stated \u201cThere is no official category (for a pandemic)\u2026WHO does not use the old system of 6 phases<\/strong> \u2014 that ranged from phase 1 (no reports of animal influenza causing human infections) to phase 6 (a pandemic) \u2014 that some people may be familiar<\/a>\u00a0with from H1N1 in 2009.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, in an about-face, on March 11, Tedros Adhanom announced for the first time that WHO was calling the novel coronavirus illness, now renamed COVID-19, a \u201cglobal pandemic.<\/strong>\u201d At that point WHO said there were more than 118,000 cases of COVID-19 in 114 countries, with 4,291 deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n

2009 WHO H1N1 Swine Flu Fake Pandemic<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Since an earlier WHO fiasco and scandal in 2009 over its declaration of a global pandemic around the \u201cswine flu\u201d or H1N1 as it was termed, the WHO decided to drop using the term pandemic. The reason is indicative of the corruption endemic to the WHO institution. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just weeks before first reports in 2009 of a young Mexican child being infected with a novel H1N1 \u201cswine flu\u201d virus in Veracruz, the WHO had quietly changed the traditional definition of pandemic. No longer was it necessary a reported disease be extremely widespread in many countries <\/span>and <\/span>extremely deadly or debilitating. It need only be widespread, like seasonal flu, should WHO \u201cexperts\u201d want to declare pandemic. WHO H1N1 symptoms were the same as a bad cold. <\/span><\/p>\n

When then-WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan<\/strong> officially declared a Phase 6 global Pandemic emergency, that triggered national emergency programs including billions of dollars of government purchases of alleged H1N1 vaccines. At the end of the 2009 flu season it turned out the deaths due to H1N1 were tiny relative to the normal seasonal flu. Dr Wolfgang Wodarg<\/strong>, a German physician specialising in Pulmonology, was then chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2009 he called for an inquiry into alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU response to the Swine Flu pandemic. The Netherlands Parliament as well discovered that Professor Albert Osterhaus<\/strong> of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the person at the center of the worldwide Swine Flu H1N1 Influenza A 2009 pandemic as the key advisor to WHO on influenza, was intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in vaccines allegedly aimed at H1N1<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Many of the other WHO scientific experts who advised Dr Chan to declare pandemic were receiving money directly or indirectly from Big Pharma including GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and other major vaccine-makers<\/a>. <\/span>The WHO Swine Flu Pandemic declaration was a fake. 2009-10 saw the mildest influenza worldwide since medicine began tracking it. The pharma giants took in billions in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was after the 2009 pandemic scandal that the WHO stopped using the 6 phase pandemic declaration and went to the totally vague and confusing \u201cPublic Health Emergency of International Concern.\u201d But now, Tedros and WHO arbitrarily decided to reintroduce the term pandemic, admitting though that they are still in the midst of creating yet a new definition of the term. \u201cPandemic\u201d triggers more fear than \u201cPublic Health Emergency of International Concern.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

WHO\u2019s SAGE Still Conflicted<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite the huge 2009-10 conflict-of-interest scandals linking Big Pharma to WHO, today the WHO under Tedros has done little to clean out corruption and conflicts of interest. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The current WHO Scientific Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) is riddled with members who receive \u201cfinancially significant\u201d funds from either major vaccine makers, or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BGMF) or Wellcome Trust. In the latest posting by WHO of the 15 scientific members of SAGE, no fewer than 8 had declared interest, by law, of potential conflicts. In almost every case the significant financial funder of these 8 SAGE members included the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck & Co. (MSD), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (a Gates-funded vaccine group), BMGF Global Health Scientific Advisory Committee, Pfizer, Novovax, GSK, Novartis, Gilead, and other leading pharma vaccine players<\/a>. <\/span>So much for independent scientific objectivity at WHO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gates and WHO<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The fact that many of the members of WHO\u2019s SAGE have financial ties to the Gates Foundation is highly revealing, even if not surprising. Today the WHO is primarily financed not by UN member governments, but by what is called a \u201cpublic-private partnership\u201d in which private vaccine companies and the group of Bill Gates-sponsored entities dominate.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the latest available financial report of WHO, for December 31, 2017, slightly more than half of the $2+ billion General Fund Budget of WHO was from private donors or external agencies such as World Bank or EU. Far the largest private or non-government funders of WHO are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation together with Gates-funded GAVI Vaccine<\/strong> Alliance, the Gates-initiated Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). Those three provided more than $474 million to WHO. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation alone gave a whopping $324,654,317 to WHO. By comparison, the largest state donor to WHO, the US Government, gave<\/a>\u00a0$401 million to WHO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among other private donors we find the world\u2019s leading vaccine and drug makers including<\/a>\u00a0Gilead Science (currently pressing to have its drug as treatment for COVID-19), GlaxoSmithKline, Hoffmann-LaRoche, Sanofi Pasteur, Merck Sharp and Dohme Chibret and Bayer AG.\u00a0<\/span>The drug makers gave tens of millions of dollars to WHO in 2017. This private pro-vaccine industry support for the WHO agenda from the Gates Foundation and Big Pharma is more than a simple conflict of interest. It is a de facto high-jacking of the UN agency responsible for coordinating worldwide responses to epidemics and disease. Further, the Gates Foundation, the world\u2019s largest at some $50 billion, invests its tax-exempt dollars in those same vaccine makers<\/a> including Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against this background it should come as no surprise that Ethiopian politician, Tedros Adhanom, became head of WHO in 2017. Tedros is the first WHO director who is not a medical doctor despite his insistence on using Dr. as title. His is a doctor of philosophy in community health for \u201cresearch investigating<\/a>\u00a0the effects of dams on the transmission of malaria in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.\u201d <\/span>Tedros, who was also Ethiopia Minister of Foreign Affairs until 2016, met Bill Gates when he was Ethiopian Health Minister and became Board Chair of the Gates-linked Global Fund Against HIV\/AIDS, TB and Malaria. <\/span><\/p>\n

Under Tedros, the notorious corruption and conflicts of interest at WHO have continued, even grown.<\/strong> According to a recent report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, in 2018 and 2019 under Tedros, the WHO Health Emergencies Program, the section responsible for the COVID-19 global response, was cited with the highest risk rating noting the \u201cfailure to adequately finance the program and emergency operations [risks] inadequate delivery of results at country level.\u201d The ABC report further found that there has also been a \u201csurge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the organisation, with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body<\/a>.\u201d <\/span>Not very reassuring. <\/span><\/p>\n

In early March Oxford University stopped using WHO data on COVID-19 because of repeated errors and inconsistencies the WHO refused to correct<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>The WHO test protocols for coronavirus tests have repeatedly been cited by various countries including Finland for flaws and false positives and other defects. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is the WHO which we now trust to guide us through the worst health crisis of the past century.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Human Rights & Democracy Task Force in Switzerland\u00a0 started this petition to WHO (World Health Organization) and 2 others<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Petition to draw attention to the executive council of the world health organisation (WHO) and its partners<\/span>.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Ladies and gentlemen,<\/strong><\/p>\n

The association \u00abEthiopian Human Rights & Democracy Task Force in Switzerland<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb is writing a petition once more to alert you about the nomination of Dr.Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, former Minister of Health and Foreign Affairs under the government which is criticised by several authorities for Human Rights abuse and extra judicial killing.<\/p>\n

The Ethiopian diaspora is still shocked by the selection of this candidate by the EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO)<\/strong> because this man is one of the most terrible murderer under the current government and he won\u2019t stop to continue to murder thousands of Ethiopian citizens if we don\u2019t take any action right now.<\/p>\n

How can we accept a murder for a high position in the WHO, one of the biggest institution of the United Nations which believes in the protection of Human Rights around the world and especially in health issues? This is the big question a lot of Ethiopians are asking themselves whereas Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is worldwide criticised for being responsible for the death of millions of Ethiopians, some of which are in jail, suffering torture and maltreatment.<\/p>\n

According to several reports, testimonies and videos on YouTube and other social networks, EHRDTFS<\/strong> is shocked by the selection of this criminal which is denouncing the High Commissioner of the UN for Human Rights. At 12th march 2017 several international news related the death of more than 120 Ethiopians to the poor management and also to the project of the expansion of the capital Addis-Ababa. The poor management of wastes was the reason for this criminal act guided by the government of Dr.Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. We grief for this nomination for WHO Director-General because it will increase the bitterness of the Ethiopian citizens around the world.<\/p>\n

We announce that this man is hiding himself behind his diplomatic status to perfom his crimes against humanity.\u00a0 We are claiming to the United Nations (UN), to all institutions that defend Human Rights and to all people committed for democracy and peace in our world, to demand the EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO)<\/strong> to reject the nomination of Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to respect the memory of all Ethiopians that died under the regime which existed for 26 year without sharing power.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you still trust the WHO? If you do you must be a terribly trusting person, despite the evidence and our collective house arrest on a false premise!<\/strong><\/p>\n
