The WHO Director General who announced the fake "2009 swine flu pandemic", a failed predecessor of the Covid-19 global "health" agenda.

Dr Margaret Chan Fung Fu-chun is a Chinese-Canadian physician who was Director-General of the World Health Organization.

Career

Chan had previously worked as Director of Health in the Hong Kong Government (1994–2003). Chan survived the transition from British colonial rule to Chinese]] rule in June 1997. Her profile was raised by her handling, in those positions, of the 1997 H5N1 avian influenza "outbreak" and the 2003 SARS "outbreak" in Hong Kong.

She was representative of the WHO Director-General for Pandemic Influenza and WHO Assistant Director-General for Communicable Diseases (2003–2006).

As Director-General of the World Health Organization, in 2009/10 she classified swine flu as a pandemic by lowering the criteria for declaring for a pandemic. The following attempted lockdowns never got off the ground, but the event was a omen of what was to come with Covid.

Opinions

When asked by the film maker Lilian Franck for the documentary TrustWHO in 2015, whether she considered stepping down from her position as director, Dr Chan confirmed the problem which the World Health Organization has - that private financing will come with strings attached.
