Last week, President Trump declared he is ending the U.S. relationship with the World Health Organization. But with no guidance from the White House, and a 'dignified silence' from Geneva, the details of what happens next are unclear.

to eradicate the disease fully, to which the U.S. contributed significant funding and expertise. If that support is withdrawn, Lee says she believes that the result will be a drop in the number of children who are vaccinated.

Konyndyk agrees that WHO plays a role that charities and nongovernmental organizations can't replicate."There are many, many countries in the world that lean on WHO as an extension of their own health ministries," he says, particularly developing nations with limited resources that trust WHO to provide credible advice and guidance."WHO is inside the tent with the health ministry in a way that no NGO will ever be.

Some countries may follow the U.S. example and leave WHO"if they agree with the U.S. that WHO is messed up [in being too influenced by China] or is not serving their best interests, or there's pressure on them from the U.S. to follow suit," Wenham says.

This is a moment in time when the WHO and China and the US and others should be working together to understand this virus, prevent another spread and developed a vaccine, not a time to cut ties!! Worse thing Trump could do- another” misstep”!!

WHO... and the world... will have to hang on until January, when the US starts the slow process of rejoining the world community

They are waiting for someone with half a brain to take the white House and fix this mess. Biden2020 VoteTrumpOut

SMH. It puts all of us at greater risk for more pandemics or continuation of the current COVID 19 pandemic.

A sad time for pause. Beyond the corvid19 pandemic is an Ebola outbreak in the Congo. WHO has been the spearhead of response for all of these global impacting health issues. What will happen next?

Amusing and wonderful that Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the second largest contributor to. WHO--two hearts in the right place. Pulling the U.S. out of the WHO will lead to further isolationism and tighten the grip of Big Pharma on American medicine.

Good. WHO is nothing but a shill for China.

WHO should ignore Covidiot. He won’t remember by tomorrow.

Just make WCDC led by the United States. If the U.S. U.K. and Japan, the WHO would collapse.

F the WHO, what a joke they have proven themselves to be.

WHO is a crap organization and its about time we stopped funding liars and cheats trying to take lives of 90% of the planet

WHO Fking cares! FUCCP FUWHO 😆🖕

This is a HOT mess.

Worthless 'organization' in China's back pocket. Lot's of people getting paid. Fuck the WHO.

What happens next is we wait. Maybe we we'll get it use those FEMA camps after all.

They'll be sad without our money to launder for the demokkkrats.

This is so messed up!!
