Donald Trump Announces Hold On World Health Organization Funding (WHO)
Breitbart ^ | 4-7-2020 | Charlie XSpeirling

Posted on 04/07/2020 5:19:00 PM PDT by blam

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday at the White House that he would put a hold on funding to the World Health Organization amid the coronavirus crisis.

“They were wrong about a lot of things,” Trump said.

The president noted that the World Health Organization receives more from the United States than any other country, and would require accounting for their failure to properly alarm the world about the coronavirus outbreak.

“We want to look into the World Health Organization because they really called it wrong,” Trump said. “They missed the call, they could have called it months earlier, they would have known, they should have known, and they probably did know.”

The president noted that the WHO actually criticized his travel ban from China that he set in late January.

“Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said about travel bans just days after Trump banned travel from China.

Trump said the WHO frequently sided with China despite heavy criticism for their lack of transparency about the virus.

“They seem to be very China-centric,” he said. “That’s a nice way of saying it, but they seem to be very China-centric, and they seem to err always on the side of China.”

Trump accused the global organization of also getting a lot wrong about the virus.

“It’s a great thing when it works, but when they call every shot wrong, it’s no good,” he said.

Later in the briefing, reporters asked why he would freeze funding to the WHO in the middle of a pandemic.

Making yourself annoying serves no one. You stated your case. Now it just looks like attention-seeking.

Have a good evening.

Why you bitching at me? I made a statement, at least he’s going to visit a withhold of money. Better than sending a pallet of cash to Iran.

Has a vibe of psyche warfare to it. Publicly fire a shot across the bow to shake their tree, watch who scrambles around to say or do what. Results should be enlightening.

The WHO, CDC, and Fauci and Birx are going to be hung out to dry on their own clothesline.

Go TRUMP!

No, ibuprofen is a problem. Not all “anti inflammatories” are the same.

I thought this was interesting, seeing that today’s the day:

The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organizations.

In 1948, the WHO hold the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO’s founding, and is seen as an opportunity by the organization to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year.[1] The WHO organizes international, regional and local events on the Day related to a particular theme. World Health Day is acknowledged by various governments and non-governmental organizations with interests in public health issues, who also organize activities and highlight their support in media reports, such as the Global Health Council.[2]

A TOP WHO adviser has claimed Trump made “ignorant” and “incoherent” remarks during a news conference detailing the administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Special adviser to the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Ezekiel Emanuel - a key figure in the creation of the controversial ObamaCare program, claimed on left-leaning MSNBC’s Hardball that Trump’s comments indicated how little the president knew about public health.

Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD, Leave of Absence as Chair of Medical Ethics & Health Policy
May 29, 2019

During his leave of absence from his chair role, Zeke will work with colleagues to launch the Health Transformation Institute (HTI) in the department, a new initiative aimed at increasing the value of the U.S. healthcare system through new innovations designed to improve quality, affordability and the patient experience.

Zeke will also be taking on a role as Senior Advisor to the Director General of the World Health Organization, an opportunity in which he will provide direction for the organization’s Universal Health Care initiative, particularly in the areas of screening and care for cancer in low-income countries and its medical ethics program. He will also help devise strategy for the WHO Academy, a training initiative for 10 million public health professionals across the globe.

Wow...another great find, maggie.

What is with these Death Panel creeps and their obsession with ‘transformation’?

We had quite enough of that ‘transformation’, under 0s reign.

Another thing....they always want to work on these global health ‘initiatives’....you know, the ones that have gaps....as in ‘funding’ gaps...for their ‘innovations’ and ‘programs’.

Why am I NOT shocked that Dr Death is now Sr Advisor to WHO?

I say cut ALL funding....voluntary and assessed.

Assessed by which entity??

If NOTHING else, first stop the 500+M that is given by US, voluntarily.

Then, give them notice that we are opting out of their evil assessment.

I wonder who and when this assessement was agreed to by.
