US leader demands resignation of WHO director, alleges mistrust

Former US national security adviser, John Bolton, has declared interest in the global calls for the resignation of the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Bolton, who demanded the resignation, stressed that the Director-General is an accomplice to the coverup of the massive cases of coronavius in China.

“Tedros is an accomplice to China’s massive coverup of Covid19,” Bolton stated on his Tweeter handle on Monday March 6th, 2020.

“That’s why I support all the calls for his resignation.

“He misled the world by blindly trusting a communist regime intent on deception,” he added.

It was reported that early February, days after President Trump put in place a travel ban for foreign nationals who had recently been to China, the WHO director planned coronavirus responses that unnecessarily interfered with international travel and trade.

It was also alleged that the WHO Director praised China in a tweet dated March 20, 2020, stressing that “For the first time, China has reported no domestic COVID19 cases yesterday. This is an amazing achievement, which gives us all reassurance that the coronavirus can be beaten.”

That tweet came amid allegations that the coronavirus numbers reported by China were not accurate, but manipulated to make the country’s response to the pandemic look stronger than it was.

Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, are among the American politicians calling for the WHO leader to face accountability for how his organization has performed during the pandemic.

“Once this pandemic is under control, WHO leadership should be held to account. That includes Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has allowed Beijing to use the WHO to mislead the global community,” Rubio said.

“At this moment, Tedros is either complicit or dangerously incompetent. Neither possibility bodes well for his future at the helm of this critical organization,” he added.

As of Tuesday morning, the number of coronavirus cases worldwide had surpassed 1.3 million, with more than 75,900 deaths, with the United States reporting more than 368,400 positive cases of COVID-19 and nearly 11,000 deaths.
