Disswire.com ^ | 25 January 2025 | Bradley Greer

Just days after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), a senior WHO leader turned to social media begging for donations.

Maria Van Kerkhove, a leading infectious disease expert and the WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, posted a call for donations to the WHO Foundation on X Thursday morning.

As of Friday afternoon, the fundraiser had only managed to collect $23,000, nowhere near its $1 billion goal.

Grifters need to find a new grift. 23K isn’t enough to cover their champagne tastes.

George Washington Carver, Louis Pasteur, Sir Joseph Lister and Marie Curie got by without federal funding; you can too!

Same with the U.N.

ROFLMAO!!!!

HOW THE #### is that almost a billion!! :)

I know you are being a wiseguy and I’m LOVING IT!

SCREW the WHO. Not the band, I like a number of their songs :)

The US government bank is SHUT DOWN.

It should have been shut down when we owed 6 trillion...not 37.

But better late than never

Trump wont be running again...so he can REALLY go crazy with everything he wants to do and not have to be concerned about another election.

It will DEFINITELY be the best 4 years since The Great One who took down communist USSR was in office.

The article doesn't mention that "American" Maria Van Kerkhove and her husband Neil are longtime legal residents of Switzerland, she being a full-time bureaucrat with the WHO and he being a poobah in multinational Nestlé Nespresso SA, headquartered in Switzerland along with the WHO and that other entity, the WEF.

Not does the article mention that the WHO maintains an office for lobbying in Washington DC. Likely they will have little to do these next four years....
