Now Is Exactly the Time to Investigate the WHO's Catastrophic Public Failures and Internal Rot
PJ Media ^ | 16 Apr 2020 | Claudia Rossett

Posted on 04/16/2020 8:32:03 AM PDT by Rummyfan

President Trump made precisely the right call in suspending U.S. funding to the World Health Organization, pending a review of its role in "severely mismanaging and covering up the coronavirus." Trump is doing an important service not only to America, but to the world, with his demands that the WHO clean up its abysmal and misleading act, and stop kowtowing to China.

But here comes the chorus of alarms that this particular moment, in the midst of the worst pandemic since 1918, is not the time to interrupt the WHO's annual intake of roughly $500 million from U.S. taxpayers. Bill Gates, a big backer of the WHO, declares the United Nations health agency irreplaceable. A Beijing government spokesman proclaims that Trump's decision will weaken the WHO and "undermine international cooperation." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opines that the WHO is "absolutely critical to the world's efforts to win the war against COVID-19" and any review of the WHO should wait till "we have finally turned the page on this epidemic."

Don't fall for it. The Hippocratic Oath enjoins doctors to do no harm, and the WHO Constitution includes similiar requirements of the director-general and his staff. But today's WHO has done harm on a pandemic scale, misleading the world with its rotten assurances ("no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission"), its perverse prescriptions ("WHO advises against the application of any restrictions of international traffic") and its paeons to China's ruinous fictions and totalitarian ways ("China deserves gratitude and respect").

I don't think you used all 300 words, so here is a bit more:

Such twisted standards at the WHO should come as no surprise. China began colonizing the WHO at least 13 years ago, when China’s candidate, a former Hong Kong director of health, Margaret Chan, became WHO director-general, serving for 10 years before Tedros took charge. Chan was already controversial in Hong Kong for her slow and bungling early response to the 2003 SARS outbreak that spread from China to Hong Kong. Under her leadership, the WHO’s response in 2014 to the Ebola crisis in West Africa was a debacle — leaving the U.S. and a number of private medical charities to ride to the rescue. Commenting on this at the time, a Nov. 4, 2014, Wall Street Journal editorial noted that “since the 1990s the WHO has devoted ever more of it resources to political activism instead of its core disease-fighting mission — a loss of function that helps explain why the WHO failed to contain Ebola when it was less rampant.” Sound familiar?

The WHO illustrates why Trump and many others were correct about these global institutions.

We pay a huge amount of their budget. What do we get?

They travel first class, stay in 5 star hotels, eat at 5 star restaurants, and when we need them for the biggest crisis of my lifetime and of the century they completely screw the pooch because the guy in charge is in China’s pocket.

I think most Americans want some way to aid third world nations with pandemics, but the current WHO failed. What an absolute mess.... To add insult to injury he says “we are going to learn from this?”

Suddenly, all the Q drops about the insidious link between the United Nations and the Deep State is making more and more sense. Yikes.

To hell with investigate. Just defund and pull out. Let it collapse under it’s own dead weight.

Investigate means we care whether it lives or dies. I don’t.

Director Gen. Adhanom still does not know how to properly tie a dress tie.

We should look into all of the international organizations which are effectively owned by China.

WHO’s on first.

President Trump: "Our country is in the midst of a great national trial, unlike any we have ever faced before. [...] We’re at war with a deadly virus. Success in this fight will require the full absolute measure of our collective strength, love, and devotion. It’s very important. Each of us has the power through our own choices and actions to save American lives and rescue the most vulnerable among us"

Right now we are in a race to save as many lives as possible from both the virus and the economic collapse. The Who has stood in the way. Investigations take time we dont have.

Not one dime for the traitors at WHO UNTIL they pay for the funerals of the first 4,000 dead Americans... killed by their lies.
