Truly some of the dumbest people are now in control of the US Government.<p>Im interested to see how other world leaders respond. Clearly, the US is withdrawing from international commitments, but other countries certainly realize the benefits of having these organizations. I am hopeful that other nations step up to fill the gap.<p>Perhaps we are witnessing the unraveling of the Informal Empire in real time. Historic moment!
The WHO should have kicked us out. Who are we to be involved in anything healthcare in a global scale? We can't provide reliable healthcare to our own citizens. We're in the 20th percentile of longevity worldwide. Taking funding or expertise from our hacks is probably holding the world back. With any luck the lack of cooperation will thin the herd of under earning Americans to free up capitol for the healthcare CEOs.
He did something similar in his first term, and you can draw a straight line from that action to the bungled early COVID response.<p>Which N95 mask manufacturers should we should be buying stock in? (I’d say “vaccine manufacturers”, but lolz.)
WHO lied about Mpox, a disease that affected gay men. They had know that since at least 2017.<p>Mpox has now mutated and is rapidly spreading and killing children and the wider population, as well as gay men.<p>If they told the truth we might have been able to stop it's spread through targeted education and have stopped it mutating. They also might not be considered a conspiracy organization, which with Mpox they truthful were.<p>It's disappointing Trump has done this, but expected given the way the insane Left destroys everything it touches.<p>Look at the HN comments here and on all the executive orders. Low IQed people spurting out emotions the media tells them to feel. This is why many people chose Trump.
The U.S. plays 'sugar daddy' to far too many international organizations (WHO, WTO, United Nations) where we provide far more than our fair share of the funding; yet they still treat us like dirt.
This was one of his campaign pledges that he ran on and he fulfilled it ASAP. The WHO ignored reports of Covid spread in Wuhan, denied that virus originated there and ignored all warnings given by Taiwan.<p>Remember these famous WHO quotes ?<p>"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission."<p>"There is no clear evidence of sustained transmission between people."<p>Until people were falling dead on TV, the WHO doubled down on this crap. There was no apology given for their utterly corrupt incompetence.
