The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu.
This egregiously false premise has led to the greatest panic in world history.
The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3, 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus:
While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity. That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease.
Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.
This statement led to the greatest panic in world history as the media all over the world shared and repeated that the coronavirus was many, many times more deadly than the common flu.
The problem is his statement is false. It was not accurate!
The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, that the coronavirus fatality rate reported by the media was completely inaccurate and the actual rate is less than the current seasonal flu – the media was lying again. The false reporting of the coronavirus fatality rate of 3.4% in the media started with the statements made by the WHO in early March.
Here’s a summary of the analysis from yesterday proving the Director General’s statement was very misleading and materially false:

Jack’s Note: Regarding the preceding. If it is true (and I have no reason to believe it isn’t) this massive exaggeration by a trusted world health authority must, because of the harm it has caused, be dealt with harshly.

Now, is the statement intentionally false or just gross incompetence? Are these claims also false?
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a malaria expert and Ethiopia’s health minister from 2005 to 2012, is being blamed for allegedly covering up cholera epidemics in 2006, 2009, and 2011. The government labeled the outbreaks, which led to the deaths of hundreds of people, as acute watery diarrhea (AWD), a symptom of cholera.
The criticism against Dr. Tedros may not abate soon. From 2012 to 2016, he was also the country’s foreign minister—periods during which protestors were jailed or killed. On social media, the hashtag #NoTedros4WHO has been used to protest his candidacy.
The onion is beginning to get pealed back. What’s underneath is starting to look a little bit more inedible as time passes. But don’t expect the MSM to put an effort into either confirming or refuting this hopeful news. Don’t expect ANY news outlet ANYWHERE to lead the evening news with headlines like these. Ain’t gonna happen. A match and can of gasoline are more beneficial in more ways than one than a fire extinguisher any day of the week.

This world wide pandemic started out as a snowball and has with blinding speed gathered momentum until today it is a deafening thundering avalanche consuming everything in its path. Any politician (aka Donald Trump) that would ever challenge the current narrative would be for sure engaging in political suicide. Going with the flow means survival. Until this November. To do otherwise would send the globalists, the progressive leftists, the Democrat Party and the MSM off the deep end. Changing direction will be by necessity historical long and slow. Add to that painful and devastatingly emotional. Both on a national and personal level.

Agreed on both counts.
I’ve been reading up even more about Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The more I learn the more I believe that his appointment as DG had to have been almost surely based solely on politics. Therefore I now also believe that the Director General did not make a math error. I believe that he purposely misled the world to protect his sinecure on the WHO.
He should be fired immediately and, the WHO ought to be disbanded.
On the 23rd May 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) elected Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (the former politburo member of Tigray People’s Liberation Front ) as its Director- General, despite an alarming oppositions from Ethiopians who have been suppressed by the regime he served as one of chief architect of TPLF/ EPRDF led dictatorial regime in Ethiopia. Several individuals and Ethiopian organizations wrote open letter (see references) and organised demonstrations outside UN office in Geneva including a voice from an Ethiopian diasporas activist in the meeting hall to alarm his unsuitability to lead the noble organization. WHO members ignored the worrying opposition and dismissed it as losers and detractors.

Not done yet folks. Who, What, Why, When, Where? These are five questions kids learn in grade school. So it’s time to go back to school. Take a look around the world right now. How in hell did the likes of this guy get such a critically important position. Wonder no more why the world is literally disintegrating before our very eyes. The disaster currently wreaking havoc around the globe and destroying nation’s economies and people’s lives deserves some serious looking into. Today I believe that it could have been mitigated or even outright prevented. Today I have come to the conclusion that the by the appointment of this man as DG, the WHO is as corrupt as the UN. Sickening irony. Last week, the International Criminal Court (ICC) authorized an investigation of alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity by U.S. and its allies regarding ‘alledged’ mistreatment of the most vile torture loving sub humans on the planet. Where in hell was the ICC regarding the allegations of torture and other rampant criminality overseen by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Where was it for the people of Ethiopia? Add the ICC to the corruption club. Watch…

The W5 kids learn in school? To which generation do you refer? Returning to any of our institutions is not a blind alley to outcome. Its evident which bias we can expect.
That may be the obvious path. However restrictions in long term liberty with more laws seem certain. Currency reset seems certain. Cashless will become the norm and with it the loss of financial privacy. It has always been, follow the money. Control the money and control the world. Devistate the primary rival by using their sense of superiority and tendancy to secrecy. Somewhere in here are the enablers. The banksters of banksters. Whatever these blackswans are, my guess is they are farm raised.
