COP11 insider speaks out: censorship, influence, and lost trust
Respected public health expert Jindřich Vobořil criticizes the WHO's tobacco control agenda for prioritizing ideology over evidence at the COP11 meeting. He highlights the hypocrisy of countries like China pushing for extreme measures while profiting from tobacco at home. Vobořil notes the exclusion of harm reduction and consumer voices in favor of well-funded NGOs linked to major donors, leading to a one-sided discussion. The focus on debunked myths instead of successful harm reduction strategies is alarming. He emphasizes the importance of evidence-based policies to save lives and warns of the consequences of ignoring science. The WHO must prioritize innovation and transparency to regain public trust and prevent unnecessary deaths.
