WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus accused of not being vaccinated against Covid

A VIDEO making the rounds on social media on Thursday, August 4, apparently implies that Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, who was recently re-elected for a second term as WHO Director-General, has not received his first Covid vaccination.

The video with the caption: “Tedros not jabbed? Well, who’d have thought?” has received over 300 retweets on Twitter and led to hundreds of comments.

In the unverified video, Dr Tedros is asked by a reporter about his own vaccination status.

“You got your first shot… when?” the reporter asks.

“You know, still I feel like I know where I belong,” Tedros answers.

He adds: “In a poor country called Ethiopia, in a poor continent called Africa.

“And wanted to wait until Africa and other countries and other regions can slowly start vaccinations.”

He concludes: “So I was protesting, in other words, because we are failing.”
