  1. Yes buckle up their world is in for one heck of a roller coaster ride now thank you China for all the lies that you’ve sent to the world

  2. The WHO are lying about the numbers, it’s much worse than they admit. Whatever they decide to tell you,you can double. Whatever they say,the opposite is true.

  3. WHO yesterday: vaccines are a year away at best
    Overnight: markets are crashing
    WHO today: we expect vaccine results within weeks

    1. It’s not exactly predictable. Saying a year away is smart. Expecting results in a few weeks doesn’t mean it’s a guarantee.

    2. @Fate Say a solution is a year plus away and an investor’s interest wanes; say it’s just around the corner and investors will speculate. The WHO sees wealth as health. Save the world, to them, does not mean you nor I. They know the markets will crash when they say the p word officially.

  4. Tedros “Oct 18, 2017: “Today I am also honoured to announce that President Mugabe has agreed to serve as a Goodwill Ambassador on NCDs for Africa to influence his peers in his region to prioritise NCDs.”

    1. @Gregory Gray It was a couple of years ago, but Tedros the sellout doesn’t change his spots…he loves him some despots.

  5. If this WHO think this is “very high”, just wait until the WHO sees the real Chinese data on who is infected and dead.
