Former MI6 Chief Advises U.S. To Blame China for Pandemic, Not the WHO

April 15, 2020 (EIRNS)—John Sawers, the chief of MI6 from 2009 to 2014, advised the U.S. today that they should blame China, not the World Health Organization (WHO), for the coronavirus pandemic. Reuters reports that Sawers said: “China concealed crucial information about the novel coronavirus outbreak from the rest of the world and so should answer for its deceit.

“There is deep anger in America at what they see as having been inflicted on us all by China, and China is evading a good deal of responsibility for the origin of the virus, for failing to deal with it initially,” Sawers told the BBC—a classic version of British manipulation of the form: “You Yankees go fight those guys.”

“Intelligence is about acquiring information which has been concealed from you by other states and other actors,” Sawers stated “There was a brief period in December and January when the Chinese were indeed concealing this from the West.”
