The unelected globalist head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has renewed demands for governments to urgently crack down on the free speech rights of their citizens.
WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus argues that members of the general public must be silenced with censorship to “prevent the spread of harmful lies.”
Allowing people to freely express their views is “turbo-changing” the “spread of disinformation,” Dr. Tedros claims.
Tedros used the United Nations (UN) agency’s Summit 2024 to launch into yet another tirade against online “misinformation/disinformation.”
Tedros said the WHO is countering the alleged threat by “working” with a number of companies and other partners.
In his speech, the WHO chief renewed calls for stricter censorship on social media.
He repeated the accusations that social media is “turbo-charging” the spread of “misinformation.”
The WHO chief claims the expression of non-mainstream views online has added to people’s skepticism toward vaccines and some other medical treatments.
Without evidence, Tedros alleged that free speech is leading to “stigma, discrimination, and even violence” toward health workers and “marginalized groups.”
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, falsehoods about masks, vaccines, and lockdowns spread as fast as the virus itself and were almost as deadly,” Tedros alleged.
“People won’t use a medicine they don’t trust, or see a health worker they don’t trust, or follow advice they don’t trust,” he added.
“And when trust breaks down, the consequences can be deadly.”
This is now the first time the WHO has demanded increased censorship, however.
