World Health Organization Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Friday directly responded to far-right commentator and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ claims that the United Nations agency was manufacturing propaganda about the Hantavirus.

Ghebreyesus, directly addressing Jones’ claim that WHO has launched “COVID 2.0,” said in a post on X that there is no “rollout” or “hype” around the recent ship-based Hantavirus outbreak and added “there are only 10 confirmed cases globally, and no deaths have been recorded since May 2.”
