The head of the WHO is only a PhD.

 

Was that right after Al Gore invented the internet?  People seem to still want to listen to that hypocrite.

Tedros Adhanom is a microbiologist, and he is known for research into malaria and pushing global health initiatives on infectious diseases. That's background relevant right now to COVID-19. I thought I was pretty clear it's experience and background that I look to rather than fixating on a particular education?

 

Also, lol, that old Gore thing. He never said he invented the internet. That one's been debunked so many times I can't even believe it gets paraded around still.

T. a. Is also a major bureaucrat regardless of his background.  He is much more of a politician now than a scientist.

Gore answered, “Well, I will — I’ll be offering my vision when my campaign begins, and it’ll be comprehensive and sweeping, and I hope that it’ll be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I’ve traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.

In context, Gore’s response (which employed the word “created,” not “invented”) was clear in meaning: the vice president was not claiming that he “invented” the Internet in the sense of having thought up, designed, or implemented it, but rather asserting that he was one of the visionaries responsible for helping to bring it into being by fostering its development in an economic and legislative sense.

The claim that Gore was actually trying to take credit for the “invention” of the Internet was plainly just derisive political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign.

But a spirited defense of Gore’s statement penned by Internet pioneers Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf (the latter often referred to as the “father of the Internet”) in 2000 noted that “Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the Internet and to promote and support its development” and that “No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution [to the Internet] over a longer period of time”

    Well I'm glad you agree that Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. Now we can get back to Dr. Ayyadurai.
