Just a month after meeting with Russian President Putin, Tedros appointed Russian Health Ministry official Teresa Cassava as Director of the Global TB Program to fight tuberculosis. Due to Russia’s poor TB record, this decision also resulted in criticism from many experts.

Tedros was the Ethiopian Health Min from 2005-12, during which Ethiopia faced three cholera epidemics in 2006, 2009 & 2011.
Thousands died yet the government refused to announce a state of emergency despite int’l warnings. Economic reservations were probably more important.

China played a vital role in Tedrom’s appointment as WHO chief. Beijing invited Tedros for a speech at Pekjing Univ. a month prior to the WHO chief elex.
A day after his appointment, Tedros emphasized on the one-China principle’s success & again Taiwan failed to join the WHO.

As previously mentioned, Tedros has a similar approach vis-à-vis Iran, praising this regime’s health policies.
Iran’s media outlets rejoice WHO’s support in their cover up of the coronavirus severity & instantly push their talking points/false narrative about U.S. sanctions.
