Trump administration moves to formally withdraw US from WHO. The White House has officially moved to withdraw the United States from the Lying China Parrots aka World Health Organization (WHO). This comes after careful deliberation following the organization's open bias toward Lying Outlaw China as they parrotted the propaganda of the Lying Outlaw State that loosed this Pandemic on the World. The WHO is not worthy of funding by the US Taxpayer. WHO claimed that the coronavirus could not be spread via human-to-human transmission so that it could also argue against travel bans from China. While China/WHO deliberately delayed the travel bans, five MILLION people left Wuhan, seeding the deadly pandemic throughout the world. The United States contributes upwards of $400 million annually to the WHO, and WHO puts us last. China contributes a 10th of that, and WHO puts China first. It takes a year to withdraw, if the clearly demented Biden is elected his globalist puppeteers, that think the US taxpayer is a pigeon to be plucked, will restore the funding. Vote for Trump if you want to make this stick. Trump Voter, Appreciates That He Puts Americans First in US Policy.
What are the long term implications? Is this backlash from COVID-19 or has it been building the last several years or decades?
For the US, significant financial savings-5 billion through next year. WHO really is for the 3rd world, and the focus is there. For the US, WHO is an unneeded redundancy. Conversely the departure of the US (the largest contributor) to WHO will put the financial burden on other countries. Beyond that its subservient to China. https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-cov...government-and-the-world-health-organization/
The only long term implication is that the WHO may eventually clean up its corruption. Trump may have done the world a favor.
An internal investigation will probably just lead to a few people they can scapegoat. What will it take for them to TRULY clean up the corruption?
Just making more work for President Biden next year.... I assume it's easier to get back in than get out... The JCPOA will take a bit longer to repair, but it's doable as well...
I have no idea. There may be no way to do it. Anything connected to the UN is corrupt and anti-American. Withdrawing is about the best we can do.
Yes. It's time. It's overdue, actually. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. It helped me understand this better.
Lucky for us it doesn't take effect until after Biden takes office. Trump's what they call a dead duck.
Since we suck let’s see the world open their wallets for once and pay their fair share. If they can’t suooort WHO then it wasn’t meant to exist in the first place. Their blatant bias with China is enough to disregard anything they have to say. They’re compromised and corrupt and certainly not protecting the world from anything. They were a mouthpiece for China through February until the virus couldnt be ignored anymore.
Bill Gates will probably cover the shortfall. Of course they will probably want to start charging us for using their tests for COVID.
