WHO Boss Lies About Vaping

To be sure, there is lots of undisclosed funding influencing the public discussion about vaping, but it’s not coming from the industry. Alongside Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Gates and Robert Wood Johnson Foundations (RWJF) contribute many millions of dollars to anti-vaping advocacy. The money filters out from these three foundations to an army of academics, NGOs, lobbyists, PR firms, lawyers, front groups and even journalists.

What's the issue you have with the Taxpayers Protection Alliance’s Consumer Center?
I don't know anything about that organisation, but more info can be found about them on their site -

The WHO lies continue (a couple of weeks ago) -
http://worldvapersalliance.com/from...ok-at-vapings-role-in-reducing-smoking-rates/
Yesterday’s publication of the World Health Organization’s “Report on the global tobacco epidemic, 2023” once again discounts the powerful impact of harm reduction and vaping, reaffirming WHO’s adversarial stance against it.

Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers’ Alliance, responded:

“While filled with biased anti-vaping scaremongering and unfounded claims, the report’s overall direction is perplexing. Instead of prioritizing the crucial goal of reducing smoking rates, the WHO is directing its focus on vaping, which happens to be the most potent smoking cessation tool available.”

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, asserts in the foreword that vaping would undermine anti-smoking efforts, claiming that “E-cigarettes are harmful to both the people using them and those around them.”

“Regrettably, the WHO appears to ignore reality and scientific evidence. Countries that adopt an open and consumer-friendly approach to harm reduction products achieve significantly better results than those following WHO’s misguided path. Comparative data from Sweden and the United Kingdom demonstrate their remarkable success in reducing smoking rates, surpassing countries with a negative harm reduction approach by a wide margin,” added Landl.
 
It’s fecking terrible the influence these propagandists have on politicians worldwide. Here, the Norwegian government refers to the WHO every time they mention the new Tobacco Law, with its flavor ban etc. They never mention the WHO when discussing air and noise pollution f ex.

I was recently on their website, and their press release was followed on the same page by a Bloomberg advertisement :11: They’re not even trying to hide the fact they’ve prostituted themselves :hmm:

Yeah, it really is a shocking and paradoxical world we live in... (it's not surprising we smoke(d)!)

The WHO releases new report on the ‘tobacco epidemic’ and how to maintain it

It clearly shows that the avalanche of misinformation and disinformation towards nicotine alternatives to smoking will be perpetuated in the lead up to #COP10. The latest report also confirms that the campaign against harm reduction is indeed being sponsored and paid for to maintain relevance of outdated concepts and to vilify tobacco harm reduction in the court of public opinion.

The acknowledgements page is very revealing. Profuse thanks are offered to Bath University, The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, and Vital Strategies, all of which enjoy lavish funding provided by Michael Bloomberg. Very fitting considering the WHO declares that “Production of this WHO document has been supported by a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies” which, in tobacco control circles, is not considered a conflict of interest.

Tobacco control world – much like Barbie world – operates in the realm of fantasy and imagination rather than real life.

The WHO’s COP10 Takedown of Tobacco Harm Reduction Takes Shape
https://filtermag.org/world-health-organization-tobacco-harm-reduction/
It claims that “aerosols commonly emitted by [heated tobacco products] do fall under the definition of tobacco smoke.” The citation for this claim is not a scientific document, but an opinion given by one of the WHO’s handpicked reviewers in a previous report, who mused, “… aerosols generated by chemical reactions involving heat are termed ‘smoke’ … Can the aerosols of novel and emerging tobacco products qualify as ‘tobacco smoke’ ? Yes. … strictly speaking, visible aerosols deriving in whole or in part from thermally driven chemical reactions qualify as ‘smoke,’ even when combustion is not involved.”

The WHO’s tobacco epidemic report further insists that “moke-free legislation should encompass new and emerging nicotine and tobacco products and specific products, like [vapes], should never be excluded from its provisions”—despite scant research on the effects of second hand vapor for bystanders, let alone any solid evidence of harm. Claiming that vaping is “undoubtedly harmful” and that vapes are “specifically targeted at children,” it calls for taxation at the same level as cigarettes, imposition of health warnings, and a ban on all non-tobacco flavors.
There appears to be no room for objective evaluation of the science in advance of COP10. Instead, the WHO is dishonestly railroading delegates toward a preordained outcome of heavy restrictions and prohibition when they gather in Panama.
What a load of BS.. and from the main global agency that is supposedly "responsible for international health" too...
.. their terribly misguided policy will affect millions of lives...
 
I don’t really believe in institutional conspiracies, but this is getting dangerously close :56: Can’t trust politicians, can’t trust journalists, can’t trust technocrats, and you can’t trust the internet :55: It’s beginning to resemble an Orwellian distopia… Well, now I’m a bit depressed :17:
