"No need to use COVID to score political points," World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says."You have many other ways to prove yourselves.""No need to use COVID to score political points," World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says."You have many other ways to prove yourselves.
"The focus of all political parties should be to save their people," Tedros said. He added that politicizing the virus only exploits differences at the national level. The remarks came one day after President Trump sharply criticized the WHO and suggested he might put a hold on U.S. funding — the largest single source of money for the health organization.
"The unity of your country will be very important to defeat this dangerous virus," Tedros said. Without unity, he added, even countries with advanced health care systems"will be in trouble, and more crisis."
Experts are pleading with trump not to defund WHO, but HE WILL - he always goes against experts.
Ironic considering how the WHO literally ignored everything coming out of Taiwan & went with the China-position of things instead. WHO is clearly political & it's not all about saving lives! Otherwise, what reason is there to not include Taiwan except to pander to China!
What has the who done for us here in the United States if you even know who they are give advice from somewhere else in the world
This man whoever he is from The who is pleading but continued funding from the United States why what do they do for the United States
Most people in the United States really never paid any attention to the who world health organization even if they new who were are they where doesn't mean anything to me forgot who who are they
Can’t wait to get rid of Trump for several obvious reasons. The man is a nutcase. 🤥🤥🤥🤥
WHO who?! CCP’s dog?! Shameless. More so when a WHO leader answered that. This man’s face does look like shit_. Can’t look at it. Weird!
This guy is in bed with communist China. Worthless Health Organization. WHO
Judging by the comments here, it is obvious that white overlords are very very unhappy with their colored errand boy, but I guess it’s just kind of tradition after all.
Well they are the experts at costing lives
Too fucking late.
Is this WHO director threatening the US? Why shouldn’t this man’s coonections be reported? Why wouldn’t you want a report on money US contributes. This should all be public knowledge. Report on this. Report on China.
WHO showed ineffectual leadership why should we support that
You should know. CCP shill.
This guy is clearly under the influence of CCP government. He just bought everything CCP fed him. One evidence that was overlooked by many westerners is in a guideline issued by WHO in multi languages, the Chineses edition is different from all others in regard to “ herbal med”
Just like wto not good for anybody.
Says the man sucking up to China.
on January 14, the WHO stated that there was “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus.”
TEDRO'S HAS NO MEDICAL DEGREE
Trump is more than willing to save his people, the one percent.
This is not a terrorist 😔
SharonMcAuley7 Yeah who was warned and decided it was just like the flu....crisis hits, panic sets in, then denies being told and looks for scapegoat.
The institution most responsible for the global spread of Coronavirus next to Chinese Communist Party is the WHO. They knew about the danger but for political correctness and to cover up for China, refused to call for border closures and travel restrictions.Repeated CCP lies
It's amazing watching Republicans praise realDonaldTrump for his utter and complete ineptitude during this crisis while condemning the WHO who's one and only goal is to support and promote world health. Unreal. GOP is an abomination.
Yeh. His Chinese patrons would never do that.
WHO Director, resign you half-wit, resign.
Your premise is that WHO is all wise. In reality, their recommendations have caused shutdowns that may translate into much more devastation than COVID19. Potentially more lives lost.
Get back to work
The hell with the WHO!! Also, is this the best you can 'report' without bias since you just pocketed all that money!! Explain WHY needed that Stimuluscheck when your 'news' is so slanted!! noballs
How about you ignoring everything but finding a cure to the corona virus. You've had years, year to identify everything you need to know regarding covid viruses. You've been given cultures of the covid 19 and you've done nothing, nothing. Hope that's not too political for you.
The Trump regime doesn’t care how many people die.
Who has been political supporting China hiding the truth of person to person spread.
This lunatic with no public service experience before being thrust into the presidency is literally killing people and still maintains an approval rating close to 50%. America is over as a nation. We need other nations to assist us with a diaspora. I’m ready to go.
CBAStepUp Ask this EVERY DAY
Trump supporters, keeping ignorance alive in the middle of a Pandemic.
Trump - deflecting blame. Trumpsfault
Sounds like something I person would say if they wanted to cover up their own short comings
This video I talks about the fact that coronavirus has been causing deaths since January before the public was given a chance to protect themselves. please subscribe for more similar content
Walking around with your HeadUpYourAss ends with the same result!!
Certainly is not the time but he needs to respond to the world why he covered up China and did not accept Taiwan’s at the council.
Man! The Trump trolls are working overtime, I guess that’s an essential service for someone.
And then this guy sent a veiled threat of “body bags”. Did China tell them that? Besides. Why is America funding an organization that does not even recognize Israel or Taiwan
Plse resign , u let us down by cozy up to China
Thanks to organizations like and CNN as well as politicians like SpeakerPelosi and JoeBiden
How about telling the truth from the beginning?
its sad.. both the WHO and CDC have been exposed for lying or misrepresenting information. really unfortunate
NPR prints this as they and the remainder of the Democrat 'media' continue to 'score political points' attacking President Trump DURING his administrations fight against the pandemic. The Democrat 'media,' as usual, are political hypocrites.
WHO waited this virus spread almost 2 months and finally called it a pandemic, whose responsibility on this? WHO and China, because they lied and they hid. Period.
It would be foolish to quit helping to fund WHO, but then fools elected a fool to dismantle our pandemic response, lie to us and respond 3 months late. We are doomed by our stupidity.
WHO is taking heat over their handling of the crisis and not just from Trump
WHO did it’s job and even worked at distributing a Coronavirus test that WORKED! (T)rump administration and CDC were TOO ARROGANT to use it. Why? Because it was not made in the USA!! Well, the delay caused the Coronavirus to spread UNDETECTED in the USA!
WHO lied and people died!!
You should be support the US and not the China backed WHO. When did the press turn full enemy?
122 million dollars
Tell the dumbocrats that who were so focused on impeachment instead of the china virus
WOW! Comprehension, reality & TRUTHS are low in response to the pandemic here!?🤔
WHO is such a joke. Did it think about the lives that were at stake at all when it covered up the danger and sang praises for the Chinese government?
Really
Says the guy who spreads Chinese propaganda.
I’m not a Trump fan but he’s right. These idiots covered up for China and lied to the public. They deserve to be held accountable
It was a clear failure on the part of WHO leadership and to threaten the world with more deaths in time like this is unconscionable. We can quibble on the timing of the change but change in leadership WHO must happen.
Um, the horse is well out of that particular barn. It took off back in December and hasn't been seen since. This pandemic has been nothing but politicized, in the US at least.
WHO is garbage
Fuck WHO. They’ve failed miserably at their only task. And now calls criticism of their efforts politicizing the situation. FUCKWHO
He failed the world. I'm really hoping for an investigation.
Then maybe don't be the CCP's mouthpiece.
My taxpayer dollars going to support drivel like this? The WHO has been criminally incompetent, and thousands of Americans have died because of its corruption and incompetence. Just like NPR, we should pull the plug on WHO.
The fact is that the virus highlighted failed leadership, a disregard for moral and civil decency at the federal level. Never has there been such much disfunction on display. This administration is awful!
We are in such a mess because Tedros politicized it. This guy has no shame.
Fuck WHO
Just a reminder that China started the virus and the WHO ran cover for them.
So does that mean utter silence out of the Democrats and NPR? Politicizing the virus is all the creepy SOBs have been doing.
Calling for greater accountability is not 'playing politics.' Dr. Tedros and the WHO were absolutely negligent in their response to the virus, blindly repeating China's dictations.
WHO has no credibility lmao
The WHO is right; the IMPOTUS is wrong.
but pandering for the CCP is just fine - we need to defund NPR while we are at it
Fuck this guy. A curse upon his house.
He’s right...we need stop sending money and broadcasting this fools opinion...see simple..can’t rely..so they die...Stop funding the world..KAG! Same time...balance budget..realDonaldTrump
corrupt who It will come out soon
But go in NPR, keep broadcasting Trump’s daily propaganda sessions.
Umm like the democrats aren’t and haven’t been politicizing it since day one?
Why isnt The WHO recognizing or inviting Taiwan to participate as a member? Oh yah...that's right. Because China doesnt want The WHO to recognize Taiwan as a country. Did you commentors know about this?
Nice, how about using WHO's exact words?
No words.
Yes, stand up to 45... don't let that dumb flker punk you
He let the Chinese Govt. risk millions of life, why did he not think about this then?
DrTedros MOFA_Taiwan Taiwan_Today TaiwanPresSPOX
Tell that to the 23 million people in Taiwan. We are a channel away from the epicenter but the WHO and he continuously refuse to include us or offer any sort of assistance because China backs him. Not everything is about Trump.
Death threats? That’s cute. Don’t hold any public sector job if you’re such a snowflake.
And to say the majority of threats come from Taiwan? Doubling down on China policy? This is truly revolting
The most hypocritical statement uttered. Gross
WHO Director Ghebreyesus is just a 'fall guy.' The real power at the WHO are Global Financiers & Corporatist Elites like BILL 'Microchip Everybody' GATES who simply prefer China's authoritarian model over the USA's Constitutional Republic.
Pandemic shouldn't be a political weapon, but WHO always echoes China's propaganda and somehow trusts CCP unconditionally. It's wrong. Don't victimize yourself, DrTedros, and don't throw mud at Taiwan. WHO under your leadership mishandled the crisis since beginning. Period.
Too little too late.
The WHO is siding with the country that started this mess by eating rabid street animals—the Chinese.
Why do you not do your homework? WHO played corrupt politics from the beginning! ToWit: WakeUp
They’re on to you W.H.O. Your threats and anything else that comes from you is now meaningless.
Did he check with China before making a statement?
The Game Show Host Doesn’t Want Any International Organization Giving Him Advice
If only Trump would listen
This is the fault of the WHO. They lied on behalf of China politics. The world should’ve listened to the U.S. when travel was banned from China. But the world trusted the WHO and people died because of it.
Not as many as this tweet probably killed.
The longer this goes on, the more emotional people will become. Soon it’ll be necessary to bring in the military and enforce curfews and obedience. If people want to go down that road because they’ve lost the ability to reason, then come what may and good luck.
WHO and China need to be held responsible for the mess they unleashed on the world.. screw him.
Natural selection. Let it play out.
Resign Resign Resign shame on you.
‘mrBlameOthers’ is blaming WHO. The same WHO helping other countries around the world by providing test kits and highly qualified medical assistance . Trump even shamed its test kits during the time he was ignoring the USA’s problem. KAG2020 realDonaldTrump MAGA2020Landslide
The president of the United States blames WHO of downplaying the virus! What about him? It is just a flu! I am an American citizen and I am ashamed of his actions ! I hope Da. Fauci continues bringing honest information to the American public !
He just simply canNOT go a single day without proving that he is the absolute worst excuse for a human on the planet. It's a compulsion. What an utter POS.
They were the first politicizing the pandemic. They should be explaining and apologizing to the world.
idiot trump is making threats on national TV
IS THAT A FREAKING TERRORISTIC THREAT!?!?
· Taiwan warned the WHO about coronavirus China covered it up The WHO listened to China And people died
COST LIVES FOR WHO: PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA AND CHINA? LETS START TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THEM AS MUCH AS THEY DO ABOUT US, WHICH IS NONE...
Nobody should pay Attention to that commie liar.
Was one of those death threats from the Chinese Communist party?
Clueless...
Wait, what This is the guy that has been touting china as the second coming, has a sketchy record at best, if anyone politicized it, its him.
This guy is a corrupt apologist for China who lied about an outbreak in his own country.
If this situation is so unmanageable how comes South Korea have managed to control the spread. It's because they had a strategy. Blaming China or WHO won't make the problem disappear.
Will it be more dangerous and cost more lives than when WHO misled the rest of the world about the severity of the situation, as its head DrTedros shilled for China?
WHO Director Adhanom is just a 'fall guy.' And China is being used as political cover too. The real power at the WHO are Global Financiers/Corporatist Elites like BILL 'Microchip Everybody' GATES who simply prefer China's authoritarian model to the USA's Constitutional Republic.
This man is a ChiCom criminal puppet and needs to go now!
That's it. I'm no longer listening to anyone but my state and local leaders and medical experts. We're doing ok here in Wa state, considering we inadvertantly started with Patient 0. I'll see the rest of those idiots in the funny papers.
Would have been better if WHO had warned about People to people transmission much earlier and not opposed travel restrictions.
Why are you protecting China?
DrTedros is the asslicker of Chinese Communist party .
Politicize? You mean drawing up and investigative committee against POTUS in the middle of a plandemic?
What did he know, when did he know it.
It already has and is today!
realDonaldTrump did DrTedros just threaten you with “having body bags” in our country ? WTF is up with that Maoist Communist dirtbag
It already has😥.......Thanks, TRUMP!!!
Hence ImPOTUS’s stated desire to cut funding to WHO.
You got death threaten? It’s normal because you indirectly killed thousands of people. Everyone around me curse you every day. At the end, you will be sentenced to die. You are such evil
OnLy he can - - -?
tribelaw msnbc dw foxnews ft ChannelNewsAsia antonioguterres Better approach is, enable, empower, & encourage discerning ordinary citizen comprehension. Politics is unavoidable: official or not. Democracy thrives in bottom up participation: bottom up is 'the check'. .
China heavily funded Ethiopia when this guy was the foreign minister. This guy went to China several times in Jan without visiting Wuhan, and he did not even say one word that is not a praise to Xi. Shame on you!
He dropped the ball in January telling lies he needs to go
Too late, team trump already using it in his reelection campaign . Why you scared of the The Great Orange Pumpkin?
'Never let a good crisis go to waste.' — popular phrase in politics. U.S. politicians have been politicizing the virus for months.
He is not qualified to be a leader of WHO. He always score political points even facing global pandemic . Need a solid investigation !
WHOs corruption and incompetence cost lives. So don’t preach to us about “politicizing” a pandemic when your pro-China politics exacerbated its spread.
It must feel really bad to have almost no support from the free world. Perhaps you should align yourself with what is right. Seems clear that change should come on your end.
He also said that he thought CheetoCzar did a good job with the handling in the US. Soooo there’s that
Who does he think he is!!
Yeah, likely 100% of those are from MAGA turds.
Right on par with Trump and the GOP's inbred stupidity. Bill Gates expounded on the threat of Corona's danger through Third World countries on PBS last night.
Well. How ridiculous Situation report can’t find Taiwan 😜 It’s more political :)
This is rich considering it is coming from WHO
You act a lot like a Chinese bot for an organization funded by America. Traitors.
Highly educated, capable and responsable leader pleading with an illiterate reprobate who doesn't know what is about to come out of his own mouth. Sick sad world.
You should listen to him.
Dear WHO Apparently, you don’t understand that covering for China and allowing them to cause a GlobalPandemic is not only POLITICAL, it’s CRIMINAL! POTUS calling you on your BS is anything BUT political and I doubt that the U.S will be the only country demanding answers.
He has politicalized the pandemic too deeply and by many too many ways. He has helped the virus to be spreaded over the global. And now be want to cover up all these by more politicalizing by threatening nations to have more deaths & by claiming falsely tht he received thretns!
Maybe he should resign and admit what he has done.
Piss off who
Was that message aimed at any particular Dotard?
There certainly shouldn’t be threats made, but WHO should be held accountable for their actions, or rather INACTIONS. WHO is responsible for turning this in to something political.
You've got some nerve fella. Do the right thing...resign!!
Well hopefully the ones who die are Republicans
HA! This thing has been being politicized since it left China. Now that WHO is effected they start crying 'Please don't.'
Why? When did [BIDEN] become the front runner? Why was this critically important? What happened directly after? WHO BENEFITS THE MOST? EVERYTHING AT STAKE. When everything else FAILED…. DO YOU ATTEMPT TO CHEAT? Welcome to the [D][People’s Republic of China] party. The Silent War
He also said it was nothing to worry about- parroting China. So, I don't think we need to be concerned with his opinions at this point, since they are clearly for sale and the GOP is buying.
Why did WHO make several strong recommendation NOT TO impose a travel ban? Why did select [D] govs ban the use of hydroxychloroquine [key]? Why does FAKE NEWS push anti-hydroxychloroquine [fear tactics re: use]? Why was impeachment pushed through H fast?
Hey Tedros, how much money did you receive from CCP under the table?
Political in the way that the WHO continues to block Taiwan’s membership in their organization? That too is because of politics. A reporter should ask WHO leaders why they block Taiwanese membership. Imagine if Taiwan had been a WHO member when they warned the world in December
