By withdrawing from WHO and refusing to work with COVAX we make it harder for our government health authorities, our public and our scientists to coordinate with and learn from the experience of others.
The World Health Organization is a puppet of China and it does what China demands (China, the source
of the covid virus).
By staying in the WHO we legitimize this set up and we actually support funding it.
This sounds like it pleases you. Not so much most of the rest of the nation.
We have two effective vaccines on the verge of introduction all without the experience of the WHO.
Your post seems absurd and boot licking.
The WHO does not do what any one country
demands. It is a huge collective enterprise linking scientists and medical workers and researchers all over the world. The U.S. had infinitely more to lose by withdrawing completely from it than it had to gain by striking a childish pose. We “cut off our nose to spite our face.” We gained
nothing, but we did make ourselves look stupid and loose face.
Trump’s action weakened world health preparedness to face
future epidemics. That is its worst effect. The U.S could have made its complaints far more effectively by staying
within the world organization. Indeed, we have given up leverage in its councils, and that will have to be rebuilt slowly. Luckily, the medical/scientific community’s years of international contacts, the great and crucial work done all over the world, will not be ended by Trump’s disruption.
The U.S. will rejoin WHO. But crucial connections established between U.S. and Chinese researchers and physicians, and between our governments, will be much harder to repair.
