Yeah, OK.

Yes, that's the one tweet. Saying WHO was insistent on it is quite inaccurate. 

I'm not sure I agree that our response to the WHO's outright lying and manipulation was "sniveling."  The USA pulled its funding from the WHO.

That funding was subsequently reinstated earlier this year, for reasons we can't discuss on this thread.

Well, without making it political, we also got caught lying and manipulating about COVID, so pulling WHO funding felt more like scapegoating than some actual policy rooted in fact.

Yes, "we" did.


Dr. Fauci again dismisses Wuhan lab as source of coronavirus

That was from last May, 2020. There was evidence then, but it was silenced.

Sniveling, as in pouty and ineffective. Taking away our funding just makes WHO more reliant on China, which is directly counter to our interests.

Its not a matter of trying to keep China from influencing WHO

That has already happened

Its a matter of not funding an organization that does not have the US's well being at heart or the rest of the World for that matter

Has anyone looked at a list of countries that fund WHO and by how much

The US was/is funding around $600M vs China's $75M

For WHO to treat us the way they did our action was warranted

Yeah, I have to completely disagree with you Max, and agree with LH320.  The WHO has already proven it's completely subservient to China.  There is zero point in continuing funding to that corrupt organization.  If you want to talk about "sniveling," the picture next to the definition in the dictionary, is the WHO.

Well, I'm sure they were subservient to China. They were undoubtedly subservient to us. We helped set their agenda and pick their programs. People act as if they are some sort of powerful entity that somehow lords over world health. In reality, they are a relatively small entity that does much of their work in parts of Africa and other poorer areas. Their total budget is about four billion less than the CDC. They have no independent power to override China or anyone else - they have to navigate that same sea that people like John Cena find themselves in.

Anyways, I feel pretty confident saying our response and statements about COVID were many times more incompetent and dishonest than anything the WHO did.
