took a deep dive into President Trump's issues with the World Health Organization or, as Oliver called it,"one of the president's favorite punching bags."
Oliver added that Trump had formally submitted a notice to the United Nations to withdraw from the WHO that will take effect on July 6, 2021. Oliver then laid out his case about the importance of the WHO and why he believes the U.S.' withdrawal would be detrimental. He pointed out the WHO's contributions over the years, including eradicating smallpox — which killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone — in 1979.
It's set up that way due to a policy pushed through by the Reagan administration that froze states' dues to the WHO at 1990s levels, which means the U.S. has paid more and more every year to make up the difference, Oliver said."That's why we pay so much relative to China," Oliver said."It's mostly because we choose to because the WHO is underfunded because of something we did.
"And look, it is fine if the U.S. has problems with the WHO. It has problems," Oliver said."But the solution clearly isn't to walk away. It is to try and fix them. But the only way for the U.S. to have a say in how that happens is to have a seat at the table, and we're about to just give that up."
What a wonderful honor...no S--t!!

It's not all WHO 🙄 Does iamjohnoliver know WHO is ONE of 6 core partners of EndPolioNow, or know the USA 🇺🇸 CDCgov and ehealthpaho effort to eradicate measles 🤔 LastWeekTonight also failed to mention WHO is ONE of 4 permanent gavi (Vaccine Alliance) board members.
