US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly claimed that the head of the World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, had been secretly “bought” by China, in comments to UK politicians.

Pompeo, who is visiting the UK this week, reportedly made the remarks in a private meeting with British members of Parliament in London on Tuesday, according to the The Daily Telegraph, Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.

Pompeo said that he had seen US intelligence showing Ghebreyesus was “bought by the Chinese government” in a deal to secure the job.

Pompeo reportedly said: “When push came to shove, when it really mattered to us, when there was a pandemic in China, Dr Tedros — who was hook line and sinker bought by the Chinese government — and I can’t say more but I can tell you I’m saying this on informed intelligence.

“There was a deal made in the election and when push came to shove you’ve got dead Britons because of the deal that was made.”

He went on to say that the WHO was “a political, not a science-based organisation,” but did not provide evidence to support his claim China had “bought” its current director-general, Doctor Ghebreyesus, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

A spokesperson for the organisation told Business Insider: “WHO is not aware of any such statement but we strongly reject any ad hominem attacks and unfounded allegations. WHO urges countries to remain focused on tackling the pandemic that is causing tragic loss of life and suffering.”

President Donald Trump has been a vocal critic of the WHO since the coronavirus outbreak.

In May, he announced that the US was “terminating” its relationship with the global health body and said Beijing had “total control over” it. He also claimed that China pressured the WHO to “mislead the world” when the virus was first found in Wuhan.

Pompeo visited the UK after Boris Johnson’s government last week announced that it would remove Chinese telecoms firm Huawei from UK 5G networks by the year 2027 amid concerns over potential risks to national security.

It was tough US sanctions on Huawei that led the UK government to change its position on Huawei, after previously agreeing to let the firm the build the UK’s 5G, with a spokesperson for Prime Minister Johnson last week describing them as a “game-changer.”

Pompeo on Tuesday held meetings with Johnson and UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.

His visit is also seen as a US effort to persuade the UK and other European allies to take a tougher stance against Beijing amid global outrage over human rights breaches both in Hong Kong and against Uighurs in China.

I believe that when China buys someone, it’s for good. A prostitute is simply a rental.

Tedros is a commie rat who helped cause the Ethiopian famine of the early 1980’s. More than 1 million people died. This is all well documented.

That is obvious, but never reported by MSM. So useful Democrat idiots think WHO is a legitimate organization.

Personally, I find Dr. Zelenko and his argument for quinine & zinc therapy quite compelling. But there is little money to be gained by big Pharma that way, so there is HUGE economic incentive to disparage quinine and find another more expensive drug they can cash in on.

There was a study coming out of the The Henry Ford health system in Detroit which showed hydroxychloroquine was beneficial to Covid19 patients.
I’m unsure if it actually led to any change in policy, since hydroxychloroquine has been disparaged so severely by the media, which will use anything and everything to defame President Trump.
They are bound and determined never to print or broadcast anything which would cast a Trump in a favorable light.
When the New York Times published anOp/Ed by Senator Cotton from Arkansas advocating for deployment of the military to quell country-wide rioting, looting and murder, the editor was forced to resign.
They have completely surrendered to factions against Trump, and in fact have become the leading faction and are determined to destroy his Presidency by utilizing the pandemic, accusations of racism and the progressive mindset.

Don’t worry! If Biden is elected he promises to unite the U.S. with WHO again. After all, Hunter needs to show something for that 1.5 BILLION China gave him for influence.

Actually, unless you’re a PRC commie lover, it’s the Republic of China, NOT “Taiwan”.

TOO many PRC commie lovers in the press corps.

Umm almost every third world “celebrity” given positions of power in the UN/WHO/UNESCO/UNHRC etc., etc,. ad infin was bought by either the oil Arabs, the Chinese or the soviets (in the good ol’ days) so there is nothing new about that and while tin pot nations with easily bought politicians have an equal vote it will ALWAY happen. The problem with democracy is that its basic assumption(that people are honest) leaves it wide open. None of these organizations ar worth anything so just stop funding them and allow them to rot away on other fools’ money.

Then do something about it Pompeo

During my fairly productive life, I always thought that
“The Pen Is Mightier than the Sword” was a Strong thing to believe.
Not for what you think,… I, realized that, once the words became useless, do to the arrogant,even Dangerous
Individual I have entered into a Parley with, I could always.. run the pen thru his eye.
Saving the words and My Future at the same Time.

Get this Done Pompeo, Or, s t f u, and move on

Likely, the price to get The World Health Organization to cover for the Chinese Communists was amazingly cheap, likely just the opportunity to cause trouble, if not disaster to the United States with Trump as President. Likely damage to Europe, including UK, South America, South Asia and Africa were just seen as collateral damage.
The UN routinely acts against the United States since it openly supports Israel, and Trump has been more supportive of Israel than any President since Harry Truman.
I’m not sure I believe the story about WHO being bought off, since they would likely join in with the Chinese Communists to cause damage to the US given the opportunity to do so without any money actually changing hands.
