And There It is: WHO Director Uses COVID to Push Worldwide Climate Change Agenda

It was only a matter of time. Now that COVID is indelibly etched on the collective world psyche, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says that even if an effective vaccine is developed, the world cannot go back to the way it was, pre-virus.
Shocking? Of course not; consider the source. And there’s more.
What else wasn’t shocking during his Friday press briefing was how Tedros connected the dots from the virus to climate change. Again, hardly shocking — but we’ll get to that in a bit.
“Progress does not mean victory,” Tedros said, noting that several countries have experienced declines in numbers of COVID cases, only to experience second waves, months later. As reported by The Blaze, the director-general said a vaccine alone would not end the pandemic.
“Even if we do have a vaccine, it wouldn’t end the pandemic on its own. We must all learn to manage and control this virus using the tools we have now, and make the adjustments to our daily lives that are needed to keep ourselves and each other safe.”
So even if an effective vaccination is discovered and widely distributed — as was the case with polio and smallpox, for example — Tedros suggests that nonetheless, we must make permanent changes to our daily lives. Why is that?
Surprisingly, Tedros did say he’s not a fan of long-term lockdowns, and that “health and the economy are inseparable.”
“So-called lockdowns enabled many countries to suppress transmission and take the pressure off their health systems. But lockdowns are not a long term solution for any country.
“We do not need to choose between lives and livelihoods or between health and the economy. That’s false choice. On the contrary, the pandemic is a reminder that health and the economy are inseparable.”
Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and the entirety of the Democrat Party unavailable for comment. I’m being sarcastic, of course, but speaking of Biden and lockdowns, the newly-anointed Democrat presidential nominee told ABC News on Friday that, as president, he would “shut [the country] down” if “the scientists” advised him to do so. “I’d listen” to them,” he said.
