The enemies you make by defunding? Try everyone. You are not hurting the Chinese at all by defunding you are giving the Chinese the opportunity to jump into a power vacuum.
And for the 3rd time. What do you access the WHO could have done differently? I've posed it to other people. You guys are asserting the WHO did something wrong so you should have no problem stating what they should have done.
China cannot jump into power vacuum, because they're already there. Question is, why China have so much power over WHO when they're providing less funding to WHO than US, Japan, or EU?
It has nothing to do with funding and everything to do with the fact that China is leading the world in Coronavirus research. Coronviruses which infected both humans and animals began in China in 2002. China has remained the heart of the research now for almost 20 years. Most of what we know about the virus comes from China. China has just approved two Coronavirus vaccines for human testing as relations between the US and China continue to deteriorate. The WHO is an important link between medical research in China and the US, a link that should not be broken regardless of Trump's problems with China.
Why do you asshats insist on carrying water for an authoritarian communist regime?
There is literally nothing they are doing that we cannot do ourselves. **** China.
It seems to me that the US took weeks longer to develop working tests, weeks that have cost lives. Do you know what I find interesting? This idea that the US doesn't need the international community. The German developed and by the WHO distributed test worked. The one developed by the CDC didn't.
That malaria drug that Trump is touting. The first scientist that discovered that it had a possible positive effect on viruses like this was a Belgian in 2005.
The thing is medical discoveries are made across the world, not just the US and the WHO plays an important role in the coordination and distribution of those medical advances. Trump just told them to go **** themselves. What exactly is in place to fill that void?
