MOSCOW: The activities of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Russia warrant thorough investigation, according to State Duma Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy, who shared his views on his Telegram channel.
"The time has come to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the WHO's operations in Russia. During the course of this inquiry, Russia's membership should at the very least be suspended. Ultimately, it may be better for us to withdraw entirely," he stated.
Tolstoy pointed out that the United States is the organization's primary sponsor.
"Following the US, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ranks third in terms of donations. Gavi, a vaccine alliance heavily influenced by the Gates Foundation over the past decade, comes in fourth, having invested more than $4 billion," Tolstoy explained. He noted that Gavi's partners include the World Bank and various vaccine manufacturers. With the US's withdrawal from the WHO, its leading supporter will likely become organizations affiliated with Bill Gates, he added.
"I have to ask: why is Russia committed to remaining a member of an 'organization' that will soon be fundamentally controlled by a man with a questionable reputation in healthcare?" Tolstoy questioned.
