The Corruption of the World Health Organization

Health is, by the WHO's own definition, a state of 'physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity,' meaning that harming mental and social health is a negative for overall health.

The WHO noted that border closures, prolonged school closures, and quarantining of health people would be likely to do more harm than good in their 2019 pandemic influenza guidelines.

Greatly increased inequality between a rich controlling few and a rapidly expanding disempowered poor, reversing years of poverty reduction.... The whole humanitarian and global health world knows these facts.

Even bankers can figure this out; the International Finance Facility considers that twice as many children died from lockdowns as died from Covid-19, while the Bank of International Settlements, key to international finance, recognizes that gross domestic product is a major determinant of long-term health.

As a public health body, acts as if unaware, even ignoring their standard age-dependent metrics for disease burden as they seek to justify policies that will increase child deaths to target a disease predominantly of the unwell elderly.

David Bell, senior scholar of Brownstone Institute, is a public health physician based in the United States.

After working in internal medicine and public health in Australia and the UK, he worked in the World Health Organization, as Programme Head for malaria and febrile diseases at the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics in Geneva, and as Director of Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund in Bellevue, USA. He consults in biotech and global health.
