The United States enhances global health security by supporting the WHO Health Emergencies programs across the globe -- from prevention through preparedness to early warning, response and recovery.
Operations in preparedness, outbreak and crisis response would not be possible without US supportin many countries including Afghanistan, Guinea, Iraq, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Liberia, Nepal, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, Vietnam, and Yemen.
CDC is a key partner of the Global Outbreak and Response Network (GOARN), which enables WHO to respond to acute public health events through the deployment of staff and resources.
U.S. funding helps the W.H.O. to address the following in the world (not just COVID-19):
polio eradication (that’s right. frikkin POLIO is still in the world)
outbreak and crisis response
vaccine-preventable disease
HIV and hepatitis
tuberculosis
country health emergency preparedness and the International Health Regulations
infectious hazard management
emergency operations
reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health
access to medicines and health technologies
All of the above will fare badly in the Pandemic. This is absolutely the worst time to withdraw from the W.H.O. but he needs to try to focus blame on something other than himself, for his incompetence in dealing with the Pandemic. Again, T rump is doing this, as in everything he does. He does, at any given moment, whatever he perceives will promote his chances of remaining in office.
Lives throughout our country and the rest of the world are not a priority to him, as he expects that he can distract from death tolls, and all of his incompetence, and blame it on others, and re-tell his own version of history where he is a victim but should, in his mind, be exalted for being perfect and greater than anyone in history.
Hopefully T rump does not yet have the dictatorial power to strip U.S. funding from the W.H.O.
BTW, under Obama, the U.S. was a champion in helping the W.H.O. get the dread epidemic, Ebola under control.
T rump is too stupid and narcissistically impaired to manage something like that.
