It’s panic time at the World Health Organization. Avian flu flopped. And SARS generated more headlines than deaths. WHO wants a pandemic. It needs a pandemic. So it got a pandemic even if it’s a phony one.
But what’s a blood-sucking bureaucracy supposed to do when its funding depends on fear and their best and brightest hopes for human death sputter out?
Michael Fumento explains:
In 2005 (WHO) rewrote the definition of “influenza pandemic,” which formerly required “enormous numbers of deaths and illness.” Under its new definition, a handful of cases and zero deaths can nonetheless constitute a “pandemic.” And that’s pretty much what we’ve seen. The term “influenza pandemic” has simply lost any truly useful meaning.
Thanks, WHO, for putting politics and self-interest above the interests of public health.
“WHO lied. No one died.”
