Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday threatened to cut funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) in Congress’ next stimulus package unless the organization changes its leadership.

Graham’s remarks: Graham made the scathing remarks in an appearance on Fox News, saying he will use his position as chairman of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign operations to make sure the WHO doesn’t receive funding from the U.S.

2 Apr: Washington Times: Bill Gates and his coronavirus conflicts of interest
By Cheryl K. Chumley
Bill Gates, the billionaire who founded Microsoft and, along with his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, just called for a complete and utter shutdown and quarantining of the entire American nation, saying the spottiness of some states doing it and some states not has put all in coronavirus jeopardy...

At the same time, though, Gates is one of the largest funders of the World Health Organization, one of the forefront agencies to warn, advise and counsel governments of the globe on matters pertinent to epidemics and pandemics. On matters pertinent to the WHO-declared pandemic.
But WHO didn’t always see the coronavirus as a pandemic.

As a matter of fact, WHO didn’t announce the coronavirus as a pandemic until the very day after Gates — who had wished for some time that WHO would declare the coronavirus a pandemic — well, until the very day after Gates made a very large donation to a cause that benefits WHO...
Take a look at this timeline...

This largesse gives him outsized influence over its agenda. … The result, say his critics, is that Gates‘ priorities have become the WHO‘s.”...

•At Wednesday’s White House briefing, Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert and the face of the U.S. response, said we could “relax social distancing” once there’s “no new cases, no deaths,” but the real turning point won’t come until there’s a vaccine...

It's a start.

Really we should withdraw from the UN entirely. If we did that others would follow.

Oh great. If Linda is threatening to cut off funding, you can count on it continuing.....maybe even increasing. But he’ll be mad about it, you can bet on that.

I saw something from earlier that said that Tedros made a veiled threat to Trump if he cuts off his funds. He said if Trump “politicizes” this mess then we/ he will see many more body bags. Apparantly Tedros said this in a press briefing. Tedros lives large on the USA taxpayer money funding WHO

The US gave WHO $900 million tax dollars.

China gave WHO $68 million.

Yet, WHO mouthed China propaganda while Americans were dying from the CHINESE virus.

The WHO relies on assessed and voluntary contributions from member states and private donors for funding.
As of 2018, it has a budget of over $4.2 billion, most of which comes from voluntary contributions from member states.

As of 2016, the WHO has 194 member states: all of the member states of the United Nations. (h/t wiki)

A state becomes a full member of WHO by ratifying the treaty known as the Constitution of the World Health.
