This crook and Tedros should be H-a-n—-ged

The WHO once again trying to deflect their culpability in all this.

What about Mexico poor country WHO ONU_es UNHumanRights Insane

No, they don't....

Pfizer vaccine has many logistic requirements for underdeveloped markets, they should look into other vaccines that can be manufactured locally. Pharmas should not be so focused on revenues and publish recipes so vaccines can be manufactured locally

Why isn’t the chemical recipe for this stuff shared with everyone and made into a generic , low cost version? Certainly the big pharma’s have made enough already. What about helping humanity during a pandemic?

I do.

Doctor Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the winds of this “catastrophic moral failure” are already blowing in the peripheries of the cities of Latin America.

Sinovac? 😝
