W.H.O Director Tedros is a war criminal, too.
Say no to the UN #PandemicAccord & other agendas.

Kurt Waldheim & Josef Mengele were among only six names in the top tier of CIA name files of Nazi criminals, declassified under The Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act of 1998.

They are the predecessors of #WHO's Director Tedros Adhanom. cc @DaeminErish @N320J6EliotNess twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@DrTedros "We've come to the end of another long but fruitful #WHA76. I’m sure many of you are tired and are looking forward to going home. But as you do, spare a thought for delegates at the first World Health Assembly in 1948, which lasted for four weeks. Be grateful"-@DrTedros

@KristaKiuru #Tedros Adhanom: #WHO chief may face #genocide charges | Dec 14
- David #Steinman accused Tedros, 55, who took over at the WHO three years ago, of being one of three officials in control of the Ethiopian security services from 2013 to 2015.
@KristaKiuru 27 years, the #TPLF dominated and controlled every walk of life in every corner of #Ethiopia.
- #HumanRights abuses were rampant, independent media and journalists were non-existent and arrest and intimidation of opposition politicians was commonplace.

私は大きな希望を持って
COVID19が世界的な健康上の緊急事態として
終わったと宣言します

しかし、それは
新型コロナウイルスが
世界的な健康上の脅威として
終わったことを意味するものではありません

それは私たちが知っている死者だけです

世界中で何千人もの人々が

このウイルスは、これからもずっと続きます
今もなお殺戮を続けており変化し続けています
新たな変異が出現し
感染者や死者が急増するリスクは
依然として残っています

Tuberculosis and COVID-12 both hit hardest people who are marginalized or in poor health.

There are strong synergies in actions required to prevent, prepare for and respond to both.

That's why we need high-level political UN commitments in September.

1. Simple policy like 'hygiene and pasteurization' doubled the human lifespan after 1889, stopping constant CoV outbreaks from milk.

Simple policy like 'quarantine, isolation, N95 and international cooperation' ended SARS-CoV-1.

We can end CoV-2. Don't halve the human lifespan.
@ilonamotto @RealCheckMarker 93. What I see is such analysis: Creative yet generic, abstract and not reflecting existing law, policymaking, and SARS-CoV-2 literature—WHO IHR 2005 as most relevant example. We could do better as political scientists, systems scholars, parents or just as public-facing scholars.





95. One fundamental problem: IPCC and mainstream science ignore uncomfortable knowledge (@SFuntowicz PNS). Undesirable social tipping points (@ilonamotto) or positive feedback structures like aerosols are ignored in favor of politically acceptable stories. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

8/30/22 @WHO chief scientist @doctorsoumya warned countries that didn't prevent infection will face a large increase in mental, cardiovascular, SARS-CoV-2 Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (SAND). Now she is let go. Most of you - MDs/ZeroCovids🤨- criticize the false side. Why?
The exact opposite of the popular criticism I hear from most on covid twitter is true. (I may be wrong - tell me why!) Many blame WHO for member states' failure to follow WHO COVID-19 recommendations. As a governance scholar I don't think they are correct. reuters.com/business/healt…
WHO needs of reforms, no doubt, but reread the first tweet, or the thousands we've been tweeting over the past +1000 days since WHO declared a PHEIC.

If member states succeed with their push to end the COVID-19 PHEIC next year, there will be lots of post-pandemic future content, Image
