Health is a political choice - WHO Director-General Dr Tedros

“Today, I’d like to talk about one of the scarcest commodities in global health - political will. We often say that we know what to do, and how to do it. If only there was political will. It’s the biggest deficit we face”

WHO Director-General Dr Tedros speaks at the keynote session "Health is a Political Choice", World Health Summit, Berlin 29 October 2019

"Health is a political choice"
Yes, we now see that you've obviously chosen to side with China against the world's plea for Taiwan to join
Way to go being the "World's" Health Organisation's Director


You even said yourself @3:04 "[Health is] a right for everyone, everywhere."
Sounds rather ironic coming from your mouth as you continuously disregard the health concern of 23M Taiwanese people
Practice half of what you preach Dr. Tedros, and maybe you'll earn a little more respect

The WHO DOESN'T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!

Can Tedros speak English without reading it? Because every time he speaks he constantly reads a paper. That said, this speech aged like milk.
