**VOICES**-The leader of the World Health Organization should resign immediately.

An organization whose sole purpose is to focus on world health, has ended up jeopardizing every person in the world by doing the bidding of China and covering up the early stages of the Coronavirus (COVID-19.)

The leader of this organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is trying to cover his tracks by accusing Taiwan of using racist slurs and calling out our President for politicizing the virus, when, in fact, Tedros either did the bidding of China by hiding the early facts, or he and his organization are simply incompetent. In either case, it’s important to note that America pays ten times more annual fees to W.H.O. than China does, and he endangered us all.

What is even more telling is that W.H.O., an organization that is supposed to protect the entire world, excludes Taiwan, which is a country of millions. They do this in deference to China.

Doctor Tedros needs to resign.
