Trump’s decision was based mainly on his belief China holds too much sway at the WHO, but a U.S. pullout could open the door for Beijing to win additional influence

Ebola is a truly horrible disease, but the 2018-19 outbreak of the virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo was particularly chaotic, as health workers tried to save lives amid an ongoing civil war.

It is that kind of work, Murthy and other experts argue, that will be in jeopardy if President Donald Trump follows through on his pledge last week to pull the United States out of the agency. Murthy has held various consulting positions with the WHO. Unless someone else fills the funding hole, “the WHO really will be financially in big trouble,” says Yanzhong Huang, director of the Center for Global Health Studies at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.

Many of the latter actually come from non-governmental organizations, the Gates Foundation being the second biggest overall contributor after the United States. Rotary International is also a major donor. Trump criticized the WHO for bending to pressure from China as that country initially covered up and then downplayed the COVID-19 outbreak. An Associated Press report Tuesday added a new wrinkle to the story, saying WHO officials grew increasingly frustrated with China behind the scenes as it delayed releasing data on the new coronavirus.

WHO - Wuhan Health Organization

We should pull out too, they did not help Canada, only helped the spread. Why was anyone from Wuhan China not allowed anywhere else in China but able to fly anywhere else in the world while the WHO called it racist to stop flights from China?

Canada needs to do the same, WHO & UN are the most corrupt organizations going.

That word 'experts' again. I refuse to read content with that word in the headline.

fearmonger more. pander co CCP more. lets see how that works out for you once Trump is reelected, and politicians like Trudeau are no longer there to pay for articles like these.

The WHO and China lied about the virus, the WHO failed at their 1 job. Why? We still don't know.

Maybe the WHO should have done their job properly without Bias.

There is no doubt!!!

That's right. Deflect the blame for the WHO's slow demise on the US and not the Communists in China for corrupting them. Another example of the Canadian media being controlled by the CP of China. Sickening.

Dear WHO ....🖕

That door swings both ways.

WHO WHO is a corrupt organization!!!

perhaps they should have thought about that before they agreed to this little experiment in plandemics.
