The WHO is a mechanism to allow a degree of cooperation among the world’s nations on matters of public health. It’s imperfect, as any organisation with such a difficult scope would be.

But the world needs some way to cooperate, especially in matters of public health which do not care about national borders. Casually throwing that away for short term political theatre is so painfully stupid.

Also, no one kowtows to the WHO and no one gives up national sovereignty over their own health decisions. What led you to believe this?
