Global Citizen Concert Criticized For Helping Raise Money For WHO
So to fight coronavirus, let's get everyone together and sing a few verses of Kumbaya... that would be about as effective as anything else WHO has done.



WHO lied, people died. This is just grotesque. How about you do your job, rather than play these games?


Quote:Global Citizen’s star-studded “One World: Together at Home” concert came under fire as some criticized the televised event for raising money for the World Health Organization’s coronavirus response.

The two-hour primetime show curated by Lady Gaga raised more than $150 million for the organization’s Solidarity Response Fund, organizers said.

Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Stevie Wonder, former US first ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion and Taylor Swift all participated in the special.

But critics of the WHO lashed out on social media in response to the broadcast event, which was the largest celebrity gathering so far to fight the pandemic.

“Each and EVERY ‘celebrity’ involved is a traitor to humankind and an equal conspirator is covering up the @WHO and Communist China’s CRIMES against humanity,” one Twitter user wrote.

The backlash comes as President Trump has accused the WHO of pro-China bias and not acting fast enough to confront the dangerous, new virus when it emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

“Why not raise money for out of work American citizens?” another user tweeted of the spectacle. “If these celebrities really cared they wouldn’t be supporting WHO. China lied and the WHO backed them.”

Coronavirus has spread to more than 735,00 Americans, including at least 39,000 deaths as of Sunday morning, according to the latest figures from John Hopkins University.

Who donated to this organization? Certainly not everyday Americans who are struggling from the country being shutdown.

Like the media Unholywood celebs are in cahoots with the Chinese propaganda machine and their coloborators the Who. Why not try to help those who are having problems paying their rent and house payments for instance. These Unholywood types are vomit worthy.

Great show. I watched all 2 hours of it and teared up more than a few times I have to admit. It was nice to see Laura Bush and Michelle Obama team together to praise the efforts of all the people putting their lives on the lines (hospital workers, first responders, etc.).

The Rolling Stones singing You Can't Always Get What You Want had to be the top highlight (and more than a subtle F.U. to Trump). But I always liked a sweet, shortened version of Rainbow by Kasey Musgraves.
