Public health experts have criticized the withdrawal from the WHO saying it will put the U.S. at a disadvantage when it comes to responding to health crises at home and abroad.

"The U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization is a shortsighted and misguided abandonment of our global health commitments. Global cooperation and communication are critical to keep our own citizens protected because germs do not respect borders," Ronald Nahass, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, told ABC News.

For a country to leave the WHO, the United Nations says there are criteria including giving one year's notice and paying all the dues it owes.

The U.S. gave one year's notice when Trump signed the executive order. However, the U.S. currently owes more than $270 million to the WHO for the 2024-2025 period, according to the U.N.

When I contemplate our country's misfortune, I remember how the world is suffering too. I cannot even quantify how much evil he will have to account to God for.

So much power used 110% for evil.

I found it interesting that Bill Gates gives more than the entire European Commission.

I can see why they are upset - their sugar daddy is no longer there.

US officially exits World Health Organization, accusing agency of straying 'from its core mission'​


Here is what is written in the link - sounds a bit different​
​
A senior HHS official said on Thursday that the WHO "strayed from its core mission and has acted contrary to the U.S. interests in protecting the U.S. public on multiple occasions."​
​
The senior HHS official said the U.S. will continue to be a leader in global public health and that HHS already has more than 2,000 staff members in 63 countries and has bilateral agreements with hundreds of countries.​
​
To fill the gaps that will be left by exiting the WHO, the official said there are "plans" in place to work with organizations on surveillance, diagnostics and outbreak response.​

Just thought I would post both sides of the story

Look into the cozy relationship of WHO and China back in 2020.

If your conspiracy was something to worry about, you should worry more now that the US has no influence over WHO.

American isolation. This is what they wanted and Trump's doing it. I guess we all get to enjoy it. How did Trump voters not realize that America first meant leading a world-group and not America in a corner by itself, separated from the rest of the world? This is not even making America great again. It's a whole new thing.

That's like worrying a church has no say over the goings on in a bawdy house.

At least in 2020, China contributed less than 3 percent to WHO funding yet was pretty tight with WHO administration.The US contributed over 9%, and Germany 14%. So while China was dancing, Germany and the US was paying the band. That's not leading the world group; that's being a pasty.
