Comment on Trump signs executive order withdrawing from the World Health Organization

Comments

This was one of his campaign pledges that he ran on and he fulfilled it ASAP. The WHO ignored reports of Covid spread in Wuhan, denied that virus originated there and ignored all warnings given by Taiwan.

Remember these famous WHO quotes ?

"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission."

"There is no clear evidence of sustained transmission between people."

Until people were falling dead on TV, the WHO doubled down on this crap. There was no apology given for their utterly corrupt incompetence.

Refusing to play a blame game in the middle of a crisis was and will always be the right call.

Knowing that it came from China would have saved 0 lives. However, bickering about costs and sanctions would have. In the end we figured it out anyway.

The WHO were the ones playing their political games, because the WHO president was supported by China...

Is there actual reputable evidence of this or is it just propaganda?

Frankly I don’t appreciate being accused of spreading propaganda.

That Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was chinas candidate is well known. It’s not a controversial statement.

It’s a topic that’s had so much spin on it, it’s difficult to tell even from wikipedia. That was my point really, not to accuse you of spreading it.

There are clearly quotes of interest that one would expect from a candidate supported by China. We need to reach a point where the international organizations don’t have “sides” but humanity isn’t there yet.

There was no apology given for their utterly corrupt incompetence.

Unlike the Trump administration, who were very eager to apologize for their own corrupt incompetent advice?
