When people asked about any issues regarding Taiwan, WHO answered they deal with diseases and outbreak based on UN "regulations", which are definitely political related. Doesn't means WHO is NOT NEUTRAL at all, does it? This is completely against WHO's mission and vision statement. If this outbreak is a "known" disease and "known and effective" medicine exists, why do people need helps from WHO? Seriously?? I'm gonna lose my mind to listen to any speeches from WHO. I'm very disappointed from WHO's responses and actions. (I had believed no matter what any org like WHO will always be neutral in politics. I think I'm way too naive 🙄🙄.). Do you realize that people around the world are suffering because of your non-political-neutral attitudes? How many people are dying every single day? How many doctors and nurses and any medical-related staff are feeling very frustrated and sort of helpless as well? WHO is still playing political cards??? WHO definitely lost your credibilities.

World health organization Feb 29, 2020:

"WHO continues to advise against the application of travel or trade restrictions to countries experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks. In general, evidence shows that restricting the movement of people and goods during public health emergencies is ineffective..." 

"Travel bans to affected areas or denial of entry to passengers coming from affected areas are usually not effective in preventing the importation of cases..."

oh god! how are Tedros and his colleagues gonna pay for all those first class flights debts now

[MyHungho]

This is not about the money, this is about the cover up from you and dr Canadian for China. That was politic

[changhongjia]

Tedros Corrupt said:
I envision a world in which everyone can live healthy, productive lives, regardless of who they are or where they live.


My question is: Really ?

[alexanderchernyavskiy]

So, why is YouTube recommending a criminal organization under all videos? There should be better sources for information about the disease.

Dr Micheal
The world was seeing what was going on through the same lense as that of the WHO. So don’t stress . They didn’t act in time now they’re looking for someone to blame.
It’s like when you see that your neighbours house is on fire and you wait for the fire department to instruct you to evacuate your house. Can’t you see that your neighbours house is on fire? Why don’t you run instead of wait for the fire department to tell you to run.
This finger pointing just doesn’t make sense to me.
I mean as we speak there are countries which are not in lockdown yet they’re seeing the carnage around the world. The day it hits home is it fair that they point fingers? It’s themselves to blame for prioritising their economies over the health of their citizens.

🔥🔥. These are the same folks who said they will remove your family members from your house if they are supposedly sick.

[catamaranboat]

Tedros, We should send you to the International crime court for the delayed response on Pandemic which’s killing so many people. WHO and China must pay and apologies to all victims around the world.

[lajesq]

At 47:00, Antonio from Jefe News asks the best question. I commented about it before, but WHO deleted my comment. So much for tansparency.

[mirnalbain]

China - where is my pupet
tedros - 🙇👾

[RakibuBrighton]

Very proud of WHO on how they are handling the pandemic around the world.

[MyHungho]

Tedros should go back to his home town preparing body bags for USA, EU! Or if he think he could not make them, ask his best friend in China.

[Dakota]

We see you, we do not believe you or your organization. Who am I? A tax payer. With a right to a say!

[wearewaves]

Due to the shutdown of our economy, we have decided to eliminate wasteful and inefficient programs for the time being. Unfortunately, this included your organization so moving forward, if we require any additional false or misleading information, we will contact the Chinese authorities directly.

[danjomanjo]

Comments here are like the question about Taiwan: they disappear suddenly due to technical difficulties 😊😊😊

[CuongNguyen-rukv]

Who is China's dog?
