Trump’s Plan to Leave the WHO Is a Health Disaster

76% Informative
The US has historically been one of the WHO ’s largest funders, with some estimates suggesting that it provides a fifth of the organization's entire budget.
Trump has a long history of criticizing the WHO , previously accusing the organization of being “corrupt,” ripping America off, and “severely mismanaging” the spread of Covid-19.
Without US funding, these programs wouldn't completely disappear, but they would be significantly weakened.
Gostin and Vermund fear that withdrawing from the WHO will place the US at the back of the line when it comes to receiving critical information such as pathogen samples and genomic sequencing data, which pharmaceutical companies require to generate effective vaccines.
