Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, shared a post on Facebook:
“Listen to health experts – not influencers or political figures – when making decisions about your health, including vaccination.
You wouldn’t board a plane flown by someone with no training, just because they’re popular or hold office. You’d choose a qualified pilot because the stakes are too high. The same principle applies to your health.
While the consequences of poor health decisions may not be as immediate or dramatic as an air accident, they can still be serious and long-lasting. Relying on trained health professionals and scientific experts helps ensure that your choices are based on evidence, not opinion or popularity.”
