WHO admits the war on Covid has failed. But thanks to those who gave it a shot those who didn’t give it a shot emerge from the eternal virus as the ‘we told you so’ winners.

The World Health Organisation’s Europe director, Hans Kluge, has warned that the Covid pandemic won’t end until nations learn to live with the virus-like flu and colds, simply ensuring health systems are not overwhelmed by infections and deaths. 

The truth is that healthcare services have always been underfunded and have been overwhelmed by seasonal outbreaks of flu and other contagions. This is not the fault of viruses; it is the fault of thieving and inept politicians and healthcare godfathers.

Speaking during an interview with Spain’s La Vanguardia newspaper, Kluge warned that the international health body is not after all able to declare an end to the pandemic while there is still a risk that health systems may be unable to cope with a spike in case numbers (if they carry on underfunding healthcare facilities).

‘We have to learn to live with the virus. As soon as our health system is not overwhelmed by hospitalisations and deaths (00.07%) from Covid, that is, it can provide the services it provided before, the pandemic will possibly become endemic,’ Kluge said.

Has it now been decided that Big Pharma, the politically corrupt and the venture capitalists have milked the Covid cow enough? Covid will be quietly dropped and replaced with another cash cow called Global Warming?

The comments from the WHO’s Europe boss came as he addressed concerns about the situation on the continent ahead of the winter months.

Responding to a question about whether ’Europe is once again the epicentre of the pandemic,’ Kluge flagged that the organisation is claiming to expect ’half a million deaths’ (well, it is what the Press tells us) from the virus before February.

Blaming a combination of ’fake news’ and the ’relaxation of public health and social measures,’ Kluge was clear that countries have to contest opposition to the Covid vaccine and safety protocols, and proposed a working group in Europe to challenge critics – like conspiracy theorists. 

Despite concerns about the situation in Europe, the WHO director was clear that the situation would have been very difficult without them, so far, effective vaccine rollout in many countries. Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?

However, for vaccinations to be fully effective, Kluge stressed that countries must leave no one behind and focus on booster shots and inoculating children to maximize the coverage provided and to reduce the spread of the virus. Yes, the gift that keeps on giving. Like this story? Share it with a friend!
