Illinois joins WHO global outbreak network after U.S. withdraws

Illinois will join the World Health Organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, or GOARN, to counterbalance the federal government’s withdrawal, Gov. JB Pritzker announced Tuesday.

(snip)

California also joined GOARN in late January.

The withdrawal is complicated because there is no official way to leave WHO and the United States is the only country with the ability to do so. Experts say it’s up to WHO members when the departure is finalized, and they expect the matter to come up in meetings in February and May.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1:

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

Walking close to that line, California and Illinois..

When do Pritzker, Newsom, Bass, and Brandon get seats at the UN?

Of course Illinois a top contender for the most economically inept and morally bankrupt state joins WHO. And of course, NPR, a matchless collection of leftist butt-kissing marhmallow majors, agrees. No sentient being gives a corrupt Dorkbama what either of these worthless entities does.

An "assist" says "There is no direct cost to join the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), as it is primarily coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and relies on partnerships and fundraising for its operations. Membership provides access to resources and support for public health efforts without a membership fee."

So this is no treaty relationship, and essentially empty virtue signaling by Pritzker and Newsom, in the moment. When they start "donating" to fund the WHO, we'll see if they will pony up actual dollars. I wager not. This is political grandstanding and the media are dutifully blowing up the PR balloon.

I wager they will not send grant money to the WHO, when they can grab it for their local state corruptocrats.

“When do Pritzker, Newsom, Bass, and Brandon get seats at the UN?”

If Trump is against it, they’re for it...

[stars & stripes forever]

The question is...

How many illegal voting laws came about because of WHO’S pandemics?
They are already rolling out the next vaccine.

Testing, facemasks, hospitalizations, quarantines.

The blue state medical voting cheat is on.

When will Trump act on these very close constitutional violations and what can he due other than stare arresting Governors.

LOL, LIBERAL SHITHEADS!

Oh crap, how much is that going to cost me?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Comic book hero, J.B. Prixster has gone full anti-America. I wish his fat tick butt would hurry up and explode.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

I thought almost the exact same thing. “Sh¡t! Taxes are gonna go up AGAIN!”

Kind of a given in Illinois. The question is, “By how much?”

[cowboyusa]

We should just have a Blue State Congress and a Magenta State Congress at this point.

GOARN

[telescope115]

That’s my question, as well. Good God, I hate living in this state. I’ve been here my entire life. We used to make fun of Wisconsin, but MAN, Illinois is turning into a real crisis. The Den of Thieves in Chicago and Springfield are ruining it.

A pox on Pritzger, his evil family, and all the crooks running this state.

[CdMGuy]

Two bigger assholes would be hard to find. Unfortunately, I happen to live in the state where one is the governor, a many who has spent the last seven years driving this state into the toilet.
