Trump made an executive order to have the US withdraw from the WHO. What are we doing right now? This is nuts, and only day 1.
WHO = evil. Why give them state money and buy into their baloney? Good riddance.
Baloney, this isn't your thread, stick to the vaccine thread moron.

I think gifs like this are going to just be my response every time Trump does something stupid just for the sheer purpose of being stupid or to "troll the libs".
Why wouldn't we want to subjugate ourselves to Chinese influenced, foreign bureaucrats, amirite?

The World Health Organization (WHO) was founded in 1948 with the lofty goal of ensuring the attainment of the highest possible level of health by all people. In the years since, the organization has been instrumental in controlling or eradicating communicable diseases and investing in healthcare capacity across the globe. However, the WHO is now facing rising international criticism over outsized Chinese influence in the organization’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
The WHO Director-General (DG) Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been an outspoken advocate for the Chinese government’s COVID-19 response. On January 28, Tedros met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Following the meeting, Tedros commended China for “setting a new standard for outbreak control” and praised the country’s top leadership for its “openness to sharing information” with the WHO and other countries. Yet in Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese officials were busy arresting and punishing citizens for “spreading rumors” about the disease, while online censors controlled the flow of information. Despite growing evidence of China’s mishandling of the outbreak and rising domestic Chinese outrage over the government’s censorship, Tedros remains unmoved. On February 20 at the Munich Security Conference, Tedros doubled down on his praise for China stating that “China has bought the world time.”
In contrast to his effusive praise for China, Tedros has been quick to criticize other countries for their responses to the outbreak. He called upon nations not to limit travel with China and warned against the “recrimination or politicization” of the outbreak. Domestic Chinese news coverage prominently features Tedros’ praise of Xi Jinping and criticism of foreign governments.

China’s influence in the WHO is also evident in the organization’s treatment of Taiwan. Since China acceded to the UN in 1971, it has periodically blocked Taiwan’s WHO membership on the grounds that the democratically governed island is part of China. From 2009 to 2016, China allowed Taiwan to join the WHO’s decision-making body, the World Health Assembly, as an observer under the name Chinese Taipei. After the election of President Tsai Ing-wen in 2016, cross-strait relations chilled causing China to block Taiwan’s future participation.

China was also an important ally of Tedros in the WHO’s DG election in 2017. Months before the election, Tedros was invited to speak at Peking University where he called for stronger cooperation between China and the Global South on health issues. China’s support for Tedros paid off immediately. The day after his electoral victory, Tedros confirmed to Chinese state-media that he and the WHO will continue to support the “One China” principle, which recognizes the government in Beijing as the legitimate Chinese government. Three years later, Tedros’ enduring support of China’s response to COVID-19 shows that their early support for him is still paying dividends.

Except that we have reams of evidence it does prevent severe disease. Go do your research.
Ya, I'm not sure we need to be an actual member. The damn Paris accords was some unfair BS as well...one of the few things I actually supported Trump on pulling us out of.
You are a f'n moron. Unfortunately, there's no vaccine for that.
And spread. And this IS his research so take it for what it is.
Did you ever read that TX supreme court decision you kept spreading disinfo about?
The day you can lecture anyone about spreading disinformation is the day frogs become jet airplanes.
Why not just pull out of the UN entirely and kick them off our shores?
Trump is such a pussy with these partial measures.
I can't think of one great thing Trump did during his first term.
This is a good thing. The WHO is a criminal organization. It would be sweet to see them dry up and fade away without American $$$.
Trump just gave $500 billion to his tech friends for more AI.
You keep spreading this lie.
It was $500 billion in private financing.
Wtf…if that’s true…why is any questioning this pullout. That’s what she said. 😉
He gave the greenlight for a monopoly. For a proponent of capitalism you think you would be more upset about this.
He turned his back to tech breaking anti trust laws and enabled them to create one big mega company to screw over the consumers.
