#1 I read 'fairness' as 'give us more money'.

#2 'Give us your money then get in line, Citizen. And start slouching. It's not fair to the dowager behind you if she has to see your strong broad back.'

#5 If it's "unfair" that people who are richer than others are less liekly to die and should be punished for it, then what's the point of being rich?

Tell Margaret Chan that no-one will stop her volunteering to have the same treatment as say Somalia.

#7 How about fairness in developing the capabilities in the first place, of committing the resources, in nurturing an environment that allows discovery unhampered by superstition and staying with the 'old ways', and the petty meddling of local potentates and bureaucrats more interested in their own power. Sure, when you get those straightened out in those parts of the world that could use modern health practices, come talk again. "Fairness starts at home"

#9 She's insane if she thinks countries won't save their own people before helping others. Especially when many of those other governments are unfriendly to the West or to their own people.
