On Tuesday threw cold water on World Health Organization director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus' hope that "2022 must be the year we end the pandemic."
The Chinese propaganda paper emailed Tedros' office to ask for specific details of W.H.O.'s plan to end the pandemic and reported no details were forthcoming.
Communist China risibly claims to have ended the pandemic within its borders over a year ago - all of its coronavirus outbreaks since then were supposedly caused by visiting foreigners, including the one that currently has 13 million people under lockdown.
The Global Times quoted "Chinese observers" who said the pandemic will only end if W.H.O. can "Play a leading role in ending vaccine inequity and developing more effective vaccines, truly unite member states and global scientists, and abandon politicization."
"Even if the W.H.O. declared the end of the pandemic next year, it's more about ending it politically rather than biologically," an anonymous immunologist in Beijing said.
W.H.O. coronavirus expert Maria van Kerkhove was cautiously optimistic about effectively ending the pandemic next year in a December 14 article for Nature Medicine.
Van Kerkhove lamented the "Division and politicization" in various government responses to the pandemic, which is the sort of point China likes to seize upon to argue its authoritarian model is superior for addressing calamities like Chinese coronavirus.
