Did the DR CEO admitted that he has not yet been vaccinated from the Covid-19?

A video of the conversation of the head of the WHO with a reporter diverged on the Internet, during which Tedros Adhan Goebreesus allegedly admitted that he was not vaccinated from coronavirus. We checked the authenticity of the video.

In early August, a 35-second video was distributed on the Web, in which general manager WHO answers the question about his vaccination. At the beginning of the video, the interviewer and Goebreesus greet each other, and then the question sounds: "When did you get the first vaccine?" On the record, the answer of Goebreesus is as follows: “You know, I still feel like I know where my place is: in a poor country called Ethiopia on a poor continent called Africa. And I wanted to wait until Africa and other countries in other regions, countries with a low income will not begin vaccination. In other words, I protested because we fail. ” Many Internet users interpreted the words of the head of the WHO as if he admitted that he had not been vaccinated at all.

For example, in the community "Stalingrad" on VKontakte, Goebreesus was called "the odious PR man of Covid-fascism" and Wrotethat he "was caught by a journalist on the most vile lies: the head of the WHO, it turns out, refused vaccination." At the same time, at the end of the post, which scored more than 300 likes and 120 reposts, such a paragraph was added: “It is in a hurry to get in, claiming that Theodorus Goebreesus had in mind not what he said and everything was perfectly heard, but the fact that he was vaccinated on May 12, 2021, and the journalist said about the re -(booster) vaccination in the countries of the first world, when the vaccine was still not threshold I got to Africa. Allegedly, Theodorus Goebreesus is vaccinated, but did not receive the third and further "booster injections". Many believe. " Similar posts with video can be found in other publics (examples here, here And here), and on the personal pages of users (here And here).

In addition, the publications that the CHO head is not vaccinated from coronavirus became very popular in various Telegram channels, including "Napal glasses" (136,000 views), Putin TG Team (71 000), “Who does not care. Wilhelm Varkentin " (14,000) and "Biopolitics" (11,000). There are also viral tweets (here, here And here).

About his vaccination from Covid-19 Goebreesus publicly declared Back in May 2021. Then on his Twitter he posted a photograph, which shows how the doctor makes him an injection. The picture is accompanied by such a signature: “Today it was my turn to get vaccinated. University Clinic Geneva (Hug) against #Covid19. Vaccines save life. It is extremely important to deliver them everywhere as soon as possible. If you, like me, live in a country where vaccines are available, please vaccinate when your turn comes. ”

On August 7, 2022, probably in response to viral publications with a video on the official WHO page on Twitter appeared Fasting with the following content: “Malicious misinformation about #Covid19 nullifies all efforts to combat this virus. The pandemic has not ended yet. Dr. Tedros was completely vaccinated and revaccinated. Let's fight this pandemia together. Let's be guided by science. #Vaccine will work. ” Goebreesus himself also retweeted this message.

The video dispersed through the social networks with the words of Goebreyesus is genuine. This is part of a full -length documentary How to Survive a Pandemic (“How to survive a pandemic”), published on March 29, 2022 at the HBO Max streaming service. At the end of the picture, at the mark of 1:40:43, it is shown as a regular correspondent of Science magazine John Cohen He arrives at the WHO headquarters in Geneva. In less than a minute, that excerpt of the interview of Goebreesus, which circulates on the network, begins. However, neither in this scene with a conversation, nor in other episodes of the film there is not a word that the head of the WHO was not vaccinated. On the contrary, from a conversation with Goebreyesus it follows that it was vaccinated because vaccination in Ethiopia Started In mid -March 2021.

Moreover, in his Twitter, Cohen himself reacted to viral posts. So, one of the users who wrote that Goebreesus was not vaccinated, a journalist I advised Delete your tweet, because it spreads lies. Also Cohen Laid A link to publication on the Science website with the words: “Read it. There is true. " It turned out that the full interview with Cohen with the head of the WHO was Published As early as June 18, 2021, and the conversation itself took place on June 12, a few hours before Goebreyesus’s performance at the Summit of the Great Seven countries. According to the complete text, he replied that he was vaccinated a month before the conversation, May 12. It is noted that the interview was edited "for brevity and clarity." Below is our translation of part of the conversation.

“I want to ask you about your vaccination.” How much did you make your first injection?
- May 12.
- You are the head of WHO. In December 2020, you could say: "I am ready." Why did you wait?
- I feel that I know where my place is: in a poor country called Ethiopia on the poor continent Africa. With the privileges that I have here, I probably had a chance to get the vaccine first. I do not want to use them, because I want to remind myself every day that vaccination should begin in Africa. I wanted to wait until Africa and other countries in other regions, countries with a low income will not begin vaccination.
I have experience with a health worker, and I enter one of the risk groups. At about that time, the vaccination of health workers and risk groups [in Africa] began, so I decided that it was my turn. In fact, I was waiting for one turn by the standards of what was in Africa, and not in Geneva. It was my protest.
- What vaccine did you inject?
- I didn't even ask. [Assistant] was with me, and he had to ask. But I did not care.
- What did you feel after vaccination?
“I still feel that we fail.” I vaccinated with disappointment.

Director of the film David Franc In an interview with Associated Press (AP) said: An important part of Goebreyesus’s answer was an explanation that he was waiting for an improvement in the world situation with vaccines before taking a vaccine himself. According to France, Goebreesus clearly spoke in the past tense. “In the context of the film, it was the expectation and reason for this expectation that were the main part of his answer. And this is what we included [in the film], ”said the filmmaster. - The barrier on the way to vaccines was overcome. That's what he was waiting for. " On your Twitter FRANS Specked So: “A pair of idiots uses this passage from the film“ How to Experience Pandemia ”to launch a lie about Tedros, strengthening the vile mess of antivax and opponents of WHO. He was vaccinated at a public event that saw the whole world! But it still becomes viral. ”

In conclusion, we give the words of Cohen from an interview with AP. Journalist He called it The “extremely absurd” statements that they showed that Goebreesus was not vaccinated and opposed vaccinations. “I do not think that someone who really watched the documentary could come to the conclusion that they are created with the help of this passage,” said Cohen. “To come to the conclusion that Goebreesus is against vaccines, a person must have a certain installation.”
