Current and former staffers have accused the top director of the World
Health Organization in the Western Pacific of racist, unethical and
abusive behavior that has undermined the U.N. health agency’s efforts to
curb the coronavirus pandemic.

The allegations were laid out in an internal complaint filed in October
and again in an email last week, sent by unidentified “concerned WHO
staff” to senior leadership and the executive board and obtained by the
Associated Press. Two of the authors said more than 30 staffers were
involved in writing it, and that it reflected the experiences of more than
50 people.

The internal complaint and the email describe a “toxic atmosphere” with “a
culture of systemic bullying and public ridiculing” at WHO’s Western
Pacific headquarters in Manila, led by Dr. Takeshi Kasai, director of a
vast region that includes China and his home country of Japan. The AP also
has obtained recorded snippets of meetings where Kasai is heard making
derogatory remarks about his staff based on nationality. Eleven former or
current WHO staffers who worked for Kasai told the AP he frequently used
racist language.

Staffers, who did not identify themselves to WHO “for fear of
retaliation,” said in the email that Kasai’s authoritarian style has led
to the departure of more than 55 key staff in the past year and a half,
most of whom have not been replaced. This resulted in a lack of
understanding and involvement with member countries that “significantly
contributed” to a surge of cases in many countries in the region, they
said. However, other WHO staffers pointed out that spikes in COVID cases
were due to numerous reasons, including countries’ own resources and the
timing of their national efforts.

Anonymous sniping. Gutless cowards who refuse to identify themselves.
They must be Democrats.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
