Despite the astronomic human cost of life during the Covid-19 pandemic, both as a result of the virus and the gross failures in new mRNA vaccines and novel drug treatments, the World Health Organization has been an exemplar of institutional incompetence, corruption, conflict of interests, and corporate capture for profit rather than public health. Barely any of its policies and recommendations to curb the pandemic proved to be beneficial. Rather the consequences were the opposite. More people died because of the WHO’s ineptitude, lack of professional proficiency and horrible decision making than from any causal factor associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As we and many others have reported over the course of the pandemic, the majority of so-called Covid-19 victims could have been saved if the WHO and government health agencies, such as the HHS and FDA, had properly researched the medical literature and approved highly effective treatments against coronaviruses including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. However, these treatments were intentionally suppressed in order to await the launch of a new generation of novel vaccine technology that never before had been administered to the public en masse. The crime is that the WHO and its major funders, notably the Bill Gates network of pharma firms and NGOs, in addition to the US and British governments, were fully aware of the probable efficacy and safety of repurposing these drugs, along with other natural interventions such as vitamin D and zinc. Nevertheless, despite all the evidence, they made the immoral decision to ignore the advice of hundreds of doctors around the world successfully treating Covid-19 patients and saving thousands of lives.
Due to its widespread acceptance by the world’s national governments, the WHO has been extremely successful in assuming the helm to monitor regional and global infectious diseases and dictate medical intervention policies. The organization has become the final word to determine whether the spread of a serious pathogen is a pandemic or not. For the majority of the medical community, the media and the average person, the WHO is today the world’s centralized command post for medical prevention (i.e., vaccination) and treatment. Its rulings are often regarded as the gold standard. On matters of global health, the WHO holds dominance.
Now the WHO feels it is not only professionally qualified but self-anointed to be the final word to authorize and enforce the rules for how nations will respond during future pandemics. Despite recognizing its own failures to adequately respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2021, the WHO created a new entity known as the International Negotiating Body (INB) in preparation for finalizing a binding Pandemic Treaty during the forthcoming World Health Assembly later this month. Consequently during the past couple years a specter of the WHO usurping complete global control during future pandemics looms over all nations’ healthcare ministries and medical agencies.
But imagine the dire consequences of a single institution, run by an undemocratically elected cartel of paid-off bureaucrats, were to become the final authority to dictate healthcare policies throughout the world? Imagine the probable abuse of such overwhelming power if controlled by the wrong people and governments, or worse, by private economic interests such as the faux philanthropies of people like Bill Gates and his widespread allegiances with pharmaceutical companies and vaccine developers. Nor should anyone doubt the close relationship between the WHO and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset Agenda. In January 2024, the WHO’s Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus addressed the annual Davos gathering in Switzerland to praise “the incredible power of vaccines, tests, treatments and other technologies to save lives.” Tedros’s short talk was little more than a marketing scam for his organization’s new mRNA Technology Transfer Hub to bring these experimental medical interventions to Africa, largely through one of the continent’s most corrupt nations, Rwanda. Again, Tedros renewed his commitment to Klaus Schwab’s dystopian vision originally launched in March 2020 with their co-founding an emergency task force, the Covid Action Platform, in cooperation with Google, Nasdaq, Bank of America and over 200 corporate leaders to raise $12 billion towards what would eventually become Pfizer’s and Moderna’s notorious mRNA vaccines.
Throughout the pandemic the WHO has recommended one debacle after another. In hindsight, none of its assume evidence-based policies were effective. It held fast to the erroneous belief that the first line of defense for curtailing the SARS-2 virus spread is self-isolation, distancing, masks and, ultimately, vaccination. Due to its close relationships with drug makers, it waffled over endorsing Ivermectin as a cost-effective treatment against SARS-CoV-2 infections, and it disapproved hydroxychloroquine in favor of Gilead Bioscience’s novel and costly drug Remdesivir.
So why would any sane nation be willing to surrender its national sovereignty over the healthcare of its population to an institution that habitually gets things so wrong?
The legitimacy of the WHO as a gold standard of health is dubious. The organization has frequently been accused of conflicts of interests with private pharmaceutical companies and mega-philanthropic organizations, as well as being riddled with political alliances, ideologies, and profiteering motives. Despite it’s mega-pharmaceutical interests and consultants representing private vaccine interests, in the past the WHO has had the audacity to ridicule the pharmaceutical industry of corruption.
“Corruption in the pharmaceutical sector occurs throughout all stages of the medicine chain, from research and development to dispensing and promotion…. A lack of transparency and accountability within the medicines chain can also contribute to unethical practices and corruption.”
These are similar charges that have been leveled against the WHO. An article in the National Review called the WHO “scandal plagued” with “wasteful spending, utter disregard for transparency, pervasive incompetence, and failure to adhere to even basic democratic standards.” In his book, Immunization: How Vaccines Became Controversial, University of Amsterdam professor emeritus Dr. Stuart Blume raises the serious problem of the WHO’s most influential advisors on regional and global health emergencies serving as consultants for the vaccine industry. During times of global crises, the WHO confers with a separate group of advisors outside its formal sitting Strategic Advisory Group of Experts or SAGE; the names of this group’s members are not made public.
We would add that the WHO’s level of incompetence has resulted in serious misinformation about pandemics. For example, during the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, the organization reported it could not find any evidence of human transmission. However, the WHO has repeatedly kowtowed to China’s demands and unscrupulously accepts whatever statistics and statements the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) provides. Responding to a petition signed by over 700,000 signatories demanding the resignation of the current WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom, Japan’s Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso told the Japanese parliament that the organization “should be renamed the Chinese Health Organization” for favoring China’s policy to stall and obstruct international investigations and for lauding unsubstantiated praise on the country’s transparency and handling of the pandemic. Back on December 31, 2019, Taiwan – which has been barred from WHO membership due to China’s political maneuvering – had been warning of a possible human-to-human transmission contrary to the wet-market narrative, but this was largely suppressed in order to avoid upsetting the CCP.
The UK’s Sunday Times reported that Chinese scientists were forced to destroy their proof of the virus shortly after its discovery. In the province of Hubei, authorities ordered the cessation of further testing and the destruction of existing samples. Other researchers who made efforts to warn the public were punished. Writing for The Hill, University of Texas at San Antonio professor Bradley Thayer wrote, “Tedros apparently turned a blind eye to what happened in Wuhan and the rest of China and… has helped play down the severity, prevalence and scope of the Covid-19 outbreak.” Thayer concludes, “Tedros is not fit to lead the WHO.” He has no formal medical training as a physician or any international management experience in global health. Many others have voiced similar criticisms pointing out Tedro’s unsuitable background. Moreover, the Director General’s conflicts of interest with China abound. Immediately before and after his tenure as the Health Minister for Ethiopia’s ruling Communist party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, China had donated an estimated $60 million to the terrorist government and its social programs. Now heading the WHO, Tedros appears to continue lobbying on China’s behalf. In 2017, the Washington Post noted the fundamental problem:
“[China] worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help Tedros defeat the United Kingdom candidate for the WHO job, David Nabarro. Tedros’s victory was also a victory for Beijing, whose leader Xi Jinping has made public his goal of flexing China’s muscle in the world.”
Upon assuming his new position at the WHO, Tedros had left Ethiopia’s healthcare system in ruins. As one young healthcare worker reported, there were no “bare necessities of a healthcare office…. Sterile gloves, paper exam gowns and covers, cotton swabs, gauze, tongue depressors, alcohol prep pads, chemical test strips, suturing equipment, syringes, stethoscopes… were non-existent. This is a fact in most health care centers in Ethiopia.”
During the WHO’s re-investigation of SARS-CoV-2 origins, the Chinese authorities refused to provide raw case data and created repressive conditions to curtail reliable analysis and disclosure. The WHO’s final report concluded that the virus had an animal origin and did not escape Wuhan’s high security pathogen laboratory. However, it is now increasingly evident that the entire agenda behind the WHO’s investigation into SARS-2’s origins was staged theater rather than a deep investigation to uncover empirical evidence. To call the entire WHO effort gross incompetence would be an understatement. Based upon all the evidence that has emerged, a large number of professional medical voices are calling the entire investigation a farce.
Given the halls of power within the WHO, we are outlining some of the more salient reasons why the organization’s declarations about infectious diseases, pandemics and vaccination should not be trusted.
Pandemic Response as an Intelligence Operation
Dr. Meryl Nass has been on the frontlines exposing the flaws and weaknesses in the WHO’s efforts to approve and ratify the Pandemic Treaty. Unbeknownst to many, the WHO has seemingly deep ties with British intelligence and it would not be a surprise that its pandemic campaign propaganda comes out of intelligence textbooks. Dr. Nass has reported that the organization’s chief scientist, Dr. Jeremy Farrar, has close ties with elements associated with MI5. During the pandemic, Farrar answered to his “boss” Baroness Elizabeth Manningham-Buller, a retired British intelligence officer who was earlier in charge of British counter-terrorism operations targeting Irish dissidents before becoming the agency’s Director General and co-president of the covert British intelligence think-tank Chatham House. Forbes listed Manningham Buller among the world’s 100 most powerful women. Farrar has served as the public face of pandemic fear mongering and the push to fully vaccinate poorer nations.
Vaccine Promotional Misconduct
For many years the WHO’s recommendations for certain vaccines were kept secret. Writing in a 2006 issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Marc Girard uncovered“scientific incompetence, misconduct or even criminal malfeasance” over the intentional inflation of vaccines’ benefits while undermining toxicity and adverse effects. Dr. Girard testified as a medical expert for a French court in a criminal trial against the WHO after French health officials obliged the organization to launch its universal Hepatitis B vaccine campaign. The campaign resulted in the deaths of French children. Girard gained access to confidential WHO documents. He noted that the WHO’s “French figures about chronic liver diseases were simply extrapolated from the U.S. reports.” He further accused the WHO of serving “merely as a screen for commercial promotion, in particular via the Viral Hepatitis Prevention Board (VHPB), which was created, sponsored,and infiltrated by the manufacturers.”
Orchestration of Pandemic Panics
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, there was the H1N1 swine flu scare in 2009. However, at the very start the WHO’s fear mongering of a global contagion that would exceed the death counts of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was solely based on false rhetoric rather than empirical evidence. The fabrications are believed to have originated from the WHO’s senior consultanton viral outbreaks who happens to carry the reputation of being one of the world’s leading pandemic alarmists: Dr. Albert Osterhaus, nicknamed “Dr. Flu.” At the time, Osterhaus was head of the Department of Virology at Erasmus University in the Netherlands. When the swine flu scare appeared, he was also the president of the European Scientific Working Group on Influenza (ESWI), an organization funded by the major vaccine manufacturers including Baxter, MedImmune, Glaxo, Sanofi Pasteur and others. It was also Osterhaus who transformed an otherwise potentially bad flu season into a global pandemic. The WHO has been criticized harshly in the media for changing the definition of a “pandemic” and in doing so has been charged with benefitting the pharmaceutical industry. The British Medical Journal reported that the WHO failed to report conflicts of interest in its H1N1 advisory group. The journal’s Editor-in-Chief Fiona Godlee wrote, “WHO must act now to restore its credibility, and Europe should legislate.” The former head of the prestigious Cochrane Database Collaboration’s vaccine studies, Dr. Tom Jefferson, told a Der Spiegel interviewer, “the WHO and public health officials, virologists and the pharmaceutical companies… built this machine around the impending [H1N1] pandemic. And there’s a lot of money involved, and influence and careers, and entire institutions.”
When the 2009 H1N1 influenza strain appeared, the WHO rushed forward to mangle its earlier criteria that would realistically define a pandemic. The organization intentionally removed reference to a pathogen’s “severity” as a necessary requirement. “Don’t you think there’s something noteworthy,” Dr. Jefferson continues, “about the fact that the WHO has changed its definition of a pandemic?…. that’s how swine flu has been categorized as a pandemic.” Moreover, the WHO’s decision to label the outbreak as a pandemic was not based upon its own permanent vaccine experts but on the recommendations of a non-disclosed group of outside consultants.
According to a financial forecast published by JP Morgan, the collaboration between the WHO and Osterhaus’s ESWI to orchestrate the pandemic would have profited the pharmaceutical industry up to $10 billion. Der Spiegel reported:
“The WHO and those in charge of public health, the virologists and the pharmaceutical laboratories…. created a whole system around the imminence of a pandemic. There is a lot of money at stake, as well as networks of influence, careers and whole institutions! And the minute one of the flu viruses mutates we’d see the whole machine roll into action.”
In 2010, the EU’s Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe launched an investigationinto the evidence that the WHO had created “a fake pandemic” in order to financially benefit the pharmaceutical giants’ vaccine market and to strengthen the influence private drug interests have over the health organization. The Assembly’s chairperson Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg charged the WHO’s fake pandemic as “one of the greatest medical scandals of the century that resulted in “millions being needlessly vaccinated.”
Epidemic of Conflict of Interests
According to former World Bank geopolitical analyst Peter Koenig, about half of the WHO’s budget is derived from private sources — primarily pharmaceutical companies but also other corporate sectors including the telecommunication and agro-chemical industries. It also receives large donations from large philanthropic organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GAVI. After the US taxpayer, Gates’ Foundation is the WHO’s second largest donor providing 10 percent of its funding. Koenig also believes that Tedros’s appointment was due to Gates’ influence. This may carry some truth because Tedros is a former Chair of GAVI’s Vaccine Alliance. Barbara Loe Fisher at the National Vaccine Information Center estimates that “only about 10 percent of total funding provided by GAVI ($862M) was used to strengthen health systems in developing countries, such as improving sanitation and nutrition, while nearly 80 percent was used to purchase, deliver and promote vaccines.”
Finally, Gates shares the Chinese Communist Party’s interests in collecting and ‘mining” citizens’ DNA. A 60 Minutes expose presented the covert activities of BGI Genomics, a CCP-linked firm that has exported Covid-19 tests to “collect, store and exploit biometric information” on American citizens. Independent investigations reveal that the Gates Foundation has collaborated with BGI and it was through Gates’ influence over Obama that the Chinese company entered the US market.
BGI’s RT-PCR kit was promoted by the WHO back in May 2020 for first line emergency diagnostic use. The rationale was that the test was highly sensitive, specific and user-friendly. Subsequently the EU, FDA, and the Australian, Canadian and Japanese health ministries rapidly purchased and deployed it. On its website, the Gates Foundation acknowledges its role in having the PCR tests supplied to the WHO.
“Nine Chinese PCR tests were approved by WHO during 2020 under its Emergency Use Listing (EUL) mechanism, with one of the foundation’s partners supplying tests to WHO”
Three months later, Sweden filed complaints after reports of a high percentage of false positives from the Chinese tests.
This scandal is another clear example that rules out the WHO’s capacity to be a disinterested party in making science-based decisions for the benefit of public health. Rather, in our opinion the WHO has over the years become another one of Gates’ bought off entities for furthering his personal agenda to promote the experimental vaccines he has invested heavily in developing.
Vaccine Adverse Effects Monitoring System Needs Overhaul
The WHO’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety is the group responsible for administering vaccine programs in poorer, developing countries. It is also responsible for gathering data on incidents of vaccine injuries. Any deaths following vaccination campaigns are ignored and ruled as coincidental. This policy is based on the false assumption that if no one dies during a vaccine’s clinical trials, then the vaccine should be regarded as automatically safe and unrelated to any deaths that might occur later. Consequently, the WHO’s monitoring system is seriously flawed and requires a major overhaul.
One of the more controversial incidents was the WHO’s collaboration with the Bill Gates’ GAVI campaign to launch the Pentavalent vaccine (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, HIP and Hepatitis B) in Africa and later in South and Southeast Asia. In India, health officials recorded upwards to 8,190 additional infant deaths annually following its Pentavalent campaign. The WHO’s response was to reclassify its adverse event reporting system to disregard “infant” deaths altogether. Dr. Jacob Puliyel, a member of the Indian government’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization concluded,
“deaths and other serious adverse events following vaccination in the third world, that use WHO-AEFI classification are not recorded in any database for pharmaco-vigilance. It is as if the deaths of children in low (and middle) income countries are of no consequence.”
WHO’s Double Standards of Vaccine Safety
Another scandal erupted during the WHO’s Global Vaccine Safety Summit convened in December 2019. Days before the summit, one of the WHO’s medical directors for vaccination, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, appeared in a public advertisement touting the unquestionable safety of vaccines and ridiculing parents who speak out against vaccination. She assured viewers that the WHO was in control of matters and monitored potential adverse risks carefully. However, during the Summit, the same Dr. Swaminathan acknowledged vaccine health risks and stated, “We really don’t have very good safety monitoring systems.” Another Summit participant, Dr. Heidi Larson stated,
“We have a very wobbly ‘health professional frontline’ that is starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines. When the frontline professionals are starting to question or they don’t feel like they have enough confidence about the safety to stand up to the person asking the questions. I mean most medical school curricula, even nursing curriculums, I mean in medical school you are lucky if you have half a day on vaccines.”
And more noteworthy were the statements by Dr. Martin Howell Friede, Coordinator of the WHO’s Initiative for Vaccine Research,
“… I give courses every year on how do you develop vaccines, how do you make vaccines. And the first lesson is while you’re making your vaccine if you can avoid using an adjuvant please do so. Lesson two is if you’re going to use an adjuvant use one that has a history of safety. And lesson three is if you’re not going to do that, think very carefully.”
In other words, what the WHO presents to the public contradicts what is discussed behind closed doors, another example of the veil of secrecy the organization operates within.
WHO’s Depopulation Efforts with Vaccines
Without doubt, the most nefarious activity conducted by the WHO is its alleged support and distribution of vaccines to poorer developing countries that may have been intentionally designed to decrease population rates. Back in 1989, the WHO sponsored a symposium at its Geneva headquarters on “Antifertility Vaccines and Contraceptive Vaccines.” The symposium presented proposals for vaccines that later were discovered to have been laced with the sterilizing hormones HCG and estradiol; the former prevents pregnancy and triggers spontaneous abortions and miscarriages, and the latter can turn men infertile.
In 2015, the Kenyan Conference of Catholic Bishops reported its discovery of a polio vaccine laced with estradiol that was manufactured in India and distributed by the WHO. A year earlier, Dr. Wahome Ngare from the Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association uncovered a tetanus vaccine specifically being administered to women, also distributed by the WHO, that contained the HCG hormone. All of the polio vaccine samples tested contained HCG, estrogen-related compounds, follicle stimulating and luteinizing hormones, which will damage sperm formation in the testes. Even more disturbing, this vaccine was planned to be administered to children under five years of age.
However, this was not the first time the WHO appears to have made efforts to use vaccination campaigns for depopulation. A decade earlier, in 2004, the WHO, UNICIF and CDC launched a vaccination campaign to immunize 74 million African children during a polio outbreak. The initiative encountered a serious obstacle. In Nigeria, laboratory tests on the WHO’s vaccine samples resulted in the presence of estrogen and other female hormones. And in the mid-1990s, a tetanus vaccine being administered to Nicaraguan and Filipino girls and women in their child-bearing years was discovered to contain HCG, which accounted for a large number of spontaneous abortions that were reported by Catholic health workers.
Illegal Vaccine Experiments
In 2014, The Economic Times of India published a report that provided details of a joint venture between the WHO and the Gates Foundation to test an experimental HPV vaccine on approximately 16,000 tribal girls between the ages of 9 and 15 unwittingly. Many of the girls, the report states, became ill and some died.
The following year the WHO and Gates Foundation conducted a similar experiment on 14,000 girls with the HPV vaccine Cervarix. Again “scores of teenage girls were hospitalized.” Investigations led by Indian health officials uncovered gross violations in India’s laws regarding medical safety. In numerous cases there was no consent and the children had no idea what they were being vaccinated for. The Indian Supreme Court file a case against the duo for criminal charges.
There are many other questionable and disturbing activities that the WHO has been involved with over the decades. However, the above provide sufficient evidence to argue the case that, at least within the upper echelons of the WHO, global health does not stand in high priority. WHO’s leaders are selected largely because the powers of Washington, London and the pharmaceutical industry benefit from the organization advancing its agendas.
Bear in mind, the WHO led the efforts to inflict the COVID-19 pandemic scourge upon the world by neglecting its responsibility to evaluate within its means every possible medical intervention to lessen its impact. Trump had threatened to sever the US’s ties with the WHO; on the other hand, the Biden administration, co-led by the Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department, is actively participating in the closed-door negotiations to see the Pandemic Treaty’s passage. All Republican Senators view the Treaty as another power grab by the WHO to expand its global authority over intellectual property rights and the distribution of nations’ internal resources. If passed, there will be an enormous financial burden on American tax payers at a time when the Biden government has generated a $34 trillion gross federal debt while fueling wars in Ukraine and Israel’s genocide administered as quickly as possible.
When the World Health Assembly meets on May 27th, the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty will be facing fierce opposition. The draft treaty is not in a final form, and ome countries such as Estonia, Germany, New Zealand, and Slovakia have already rejected the treaty in its current draft. The evidence provided here is sufficient to call into serious doubts the WHO’s integrity. Can we trust the organization’s judgment on anything concerning future pandemic mobilization and global health policies when its resume is plagued by corporate capture by the pharmaceutical giants and billionaires like Bill Gates, gross ineptness and a history of failures and bad science in confronting past pandemics and infectious outbreaks?
