Can the official opinion of WHO be biased because it is directed by a “Marxist”?
I have to check on the guy, Tedros Adhanom, but one thing I would like to know is how the WHO works, because when I was analyzing some data on rapes that she reported, I saw that the agency didn’t collect them, but just passed on what the different UN affiliated governments already had. So how can Sweden have a higher rate of rape than Nigeria? Because in Sweden, for very little, an insistence and a denunciation, a rape is already configured, but in Nigeria, reports of police who abused suspects are not even considered, but it is known that they occurred due to reports from entities working in these countries.
This preamble is to say that the WHO is not there with inspectors in these countries, so if the Chinese (dictatorial) government says one thing, who is going to confirm it without authorization from Beijing? Hence, blaming WHO for this is like blaming a Municipal or State Education Secretariat because a teacher there at Tapera * school said that “Che Guevara was a holy man and we should all follow his example”. What can (and should) be done is to verify the veracity of the facts and then, only afterwards, with a witness and such, see if that was the case and take the appropriate measures (administrative, first).
As for the subject, Tedros (WHO director) being a “Marxist”, has many ways of saying it. It can be like that medical colleague that my wife has and her son studies at the elite school in Florianópolis, ** and she boasts of being a vegetarian and walks around in her hippie-chic sandals, finding herself an alternative, that is, nothing to do with anything. Or it may be a guy who really tries to influence politics with his vision, but the question is whether he misrepresents the diagnosis because of that. If you do not misrepresent you are not misrepresenting medicine, this is the point. So, in the same way, accusing the guys in that study from Imperial College, that Ferguson being “leftist”, as Osmar Terra *** did, does not mean anything, if his method was rigorous as it should be. This has to be investigated, studies have to be revised and so on.
*Tapera, a poor neighborhood in the city of Florianópolis, where I live.
** Florianópolis, capital of the state of Santa Catarina, member of the South Region of Brazil.
*** Osmar Terra, doctor and politician, defender of soft isolation — “vertical” -, in the Covid-19 pandemic and main opponent of the current Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique Mandetta, who advocates a stricter isolation — “social detachment”.
