Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, (born 3 March 1965 in Asmara, Eritrea (formerly Ethiopia)[1]), is an Ethiopian public health official who has been the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2017.
Contents
Early life
In 1986, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Asmara.[1] In 1986, after his first degree, he joined the Ethiopian Ministry of Health as a junior public health expert.
He studied at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and was awarded a Master of Science degree in immunology of infectious diseases from the University of London in 1992.[1]
Public health work
Tedros sought additional education. He attended the University of Nottingham where in 2000 he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in public health.[1] He then returned to Ethiopia. In 2001, Tedros was appointed head of the Tigray Region Health Bureau.[2] In 2003, he was elevated to Deputy Minister for Health. Then in 2005 he was appointed to be Minister for Health.[3] He was then selected to be Minister for Foreign Affairs.[4]
Director-General of the World Health Organization
Tedros was elected Director-General of the World Health Organization in April 2017.[4]
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributes very large sums of money to the WHO.[5] These large sums of money allow Bill Gates to have effective control over the WHO where he reportedly is treated as a "head-of-state."[6]
Polio vaccine scandal
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI).[7] Oral polio vaccine with live polio virus was supplied by the World Health Organization,[8] which can cause infection with polio virus.[9] Outbreaks of polio have been reported in Afghanistan, Chad, Ethiopia, Iran, Pakistan and Sudan.[8]k
It is not clear if Bill Gates's influence caused the WHO to adopt a vaccine with live virus in it.
Male circumcision
The WHO has maintained a difficult, erroneous, and unsatisfactory position on male circumcision (MC) to prevent female to male HIV infection at least since 2007. The Lancet published reports of two African RCTs in February 2007 and the WHO immediately convened a conference at Montreux, Switzerland on 6–8 March 2007 to consider the reports. In a rush to judgment, the meeting prepared detailed recommendations for the adoption of male circumcision as prophylaxis against HIV infection. The recommendations became official policy on 28 March 2007.[10]
Personal life
Tedros is married to Kidist. They have five children.[11]

Quote:While international organisations like the World Health Organization (WHO) will regular boast about supposedly ‘eradicating polio’ with vaccines, the opposite seems to be the case. Their decades-long campaign to eradicate polio is now killing scores of innocent young people living in poor countries.
