They would prefer if their wickedness is \u201cbrushed under the carpet\u201d. This must never be done especially when known action or inaction cause the loss of human lives. Major lockdowns, massive deaths tolls, health problems, distress and disruptions that could have been prevented, persist all over the world.<\/p>\n
The World Health Organization (WHO) has mishandled the Coronavirus outbreak that was later declared a pandemic. They should be held accountable. In recent times, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has rightfully come \u2018under fire\u2019 by a world that is waking up to WHO\u2019s recklessness in the crisis.
\nThe relationship between WHO and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), for example, continues to be highly questionable.<\/p>\n
Instead of rebuking the freedom-stifling Party for their cover-up of vital information about the presence and spread of the virus in the early stage, China received praise for their so-called measures to contain the virus. China deserves no credit in this crisis. The WHO should have known that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could not be relied on for truthful information. The Chinese Communist Party censored whistle blowers and hindered the free flow of information that could have saved thousands of human lives.<\/p>\n
Even after being alerted of cases of unusual pneumonia-type virus, unrestricted travel continued out of China during the Chinese New year which obviously caused the virus to spread rapidly on a global scale. They should receive world-wide condemnation not praise.<\/p>\n
A recent revelation from Taiwan News on April 11, showed that Taiwan had informed the WHO through an email since December 31 \u201cabout the emergence of an atypical virus\u201d in Wuhan, China. Taiwan also asked the World Health Organisation to share any \u201crelevant information\u201d with them.<\/p>\n
There is no evidence that WHO gave serious attention to Taiwan\u2019s alert and request. Instead of an expeditious investigation into the unusual virus, WHO seemed more concerned about lecturing the world against referring to the virus as the \u201cWuhan Chinese Virus\u201d. In February, Tedros informed the world that the virus was called covid-19 to help \u201cto prevent stigmatizing\u201d of a people. Such reasoning is inconsistent with their naming of other diseases such Ebola, Zika and MERS which were given names based on their area of origin.
\nIn January, the World Health Organisation was telling the world that there was no evidence of \u201chuman to human transmission.\u201d The World Health Organization with all its expertise resources could have been more investigative and cautious. Why did they not heed the early warnings from Chinese doctors? When some countries began making efforts to close borders, WHO said that \u201ctravel bans would unnecessary interfere with international travel and trade and could have the effect of increasing stigma and fear.\u201d Doesn\u2019t this big global organization know that immunologists showed that the closure of borders was crucial in slowing the spread of the virus?
\nSome persons, for fear of being branded as \u2018political\u2019, \u2018conspiracy theorist\u2019 or \u2018too judgement\u2019 would prefer to remain silent. If we are daunted by such labels, we would remain ignorant, unprotected and at high risk. In February, Director-General Tedros said that the virus was highly contagious and airborne.<\/p>\n
Yet the WHO has failed to properly inform the world that proper wearing of masks in public by all is an effective measure to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Reputable studies are available in the public domain showing the airborne nature of the virus thus the importance of wearing mask. In early March, research from China written by Chinese epidemiologists informed us of a study done on a bus which showed how the virus was transmitted in a closed environment with air conditioning. Some passengers who boarded a bus 30 minutes after an infected person had left, became infected through aerosol transmission from the infected passenger. Persons wearing face masks were not infected.<\/p>\n
Why hasn\u2019t WHO instructed its network of organizations and followers all over the world including SVG Health that they should unswerving encourage their populations to wear masks, with all the other good hygienic practices, to protect themselves? Do they love to see people get sick and die? Are they really interested in taking strain off healthcare workers and health systems? There are many more questions and they have answers to them but they are careless and loveless.<\/p>\n
Today, the world remains in an unprecedented crisis. Misinformation, ill-advised and confusing guidelines have been pushed by world institutions like WHO and have filtered down to regional and local bodies including our healthcare sector in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. All must be made to pay for their gross negligence and wickedness. They need to repent and get the love of God in their hearts to show genuine love and care for all humanity.<\/p>\n
