Given the weight of US in UNO, why would they want to stop their funding, instead of pushing for a reform of WHO?
Of course everybody benefits from the existence of an organ like WHO, the only problems would be the number and quality of its experts network and labs. And to reform that, that's in the opposite direction of stopping funds...
- _tik_ 7y agoIt is not about to solve the problem but to gain political point. Pointing finger as hard as to avoid accountability. Chinese virus, virus will bring job to US, left wing nasty media, nasty democrat, Europe treat US bad etc etc
- MR4D 7y agoAt that level, you can most effectively get reform by cutting off funding. Give it a week. Two at the most. You’ll see changes at the headline level.
- henearkr 7y agoI doubt it, because the attack lacks seriousness when it's led by Trump. It is right that WHO should have waited more verification of scientific data before publishing easily misinterpreted too-short statements, on Twitter or elsewhere. But look who is denouncing that.
