WHO head soon to visit Budapest
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organisation, will soon pay a visit to Hungary to attend the official inauguration of WHO’s Budapest centre, the foreign minister said on Facebook on Thursday.
After talks with Ghebreyesus in Geneva, Péter Szijjártó praised the WHO chief as “a leader who has retained WHO as a politics-free, professional organisation, which came to be crucial in defeating coronavirus”.
Szijjártó and Ghebreyesus agreed that “protecting the health of people has nothing to do with geopolitics . viruses will not observe borders, political approaches, or geopolitical conflicts . saving health requires a united, global approach.”
“In health there is no room for an East-West dispute,” Szijjártó said.
Concerning a recent rise in coronavirus cases, Szijjártó quoted Ghebreyesus as saying that “the world is incomparably more prepared now than it was 3 or 4 years ago . we have the necessary vaccines, the natural immunity that has developed since then and broad knowledge about the virus itself.”
“Nobody wants to see the lockdowns and quarantines again, and luckily it seems that they won’t be necessary,” Szijjártó added.

What would be REALLY good is to have a public review panel to assess Hungary´s COVID response, to learn lessons for the future? You know. Like in most other countries. So we do not have to rely on international studies?

Brave assessment by Mr. Szijjártó!
Oh, this charlatan is coming? A guy who’s not even a medical doctor leading the foremost global health organization, which has been spectacularly wrong about so many things pertaining to the Wuhan virus. Why is he coming: to strongarm the Hungarian government into allowing the implementation of a worldwide mandatory “vaccine” and other “health” measures program, per Bill Gates’ & Co.’s diktats? He should be denied entry right at the airport.
