Good riddance to the World Health Organization -- more aptly called the Woke Health Oligarchy.
On his first day, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from WHO, a necessary step in putting the health of Americans first. Immediately the left-wing media sounded the alarm, quoting globalist-minded scientists at American universities and think tanks falsely claiming that Trump's move will isolate the U.S. from worldwide efforts to detect and limit deadly diseases.
These claims willfully ignore WHO's disgraceful record. WHO was founded to create an international method of sharing data and fighting disease. But when it faced its biggest test -- the virus emanating from China in the winter of 2019-20 -- it proved to be a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party. WHO pandered to Beijing, colluding to keep the disease a secret and likely increasing the death toll by millions.
As Elise Stefanik, Trump's United Nations ambassador nominee, told Congress Tuesday, "we cannot tolerate entities that are taken over by CCP propaganda."
Roll the tape.
Lie No. 1 -- In December 2019 and January 2020, while Chinese officials were arresting locals for discussing the Wuhan virus and censoring information flowing out of the country, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus heaped praise on the Chinese for their "openness to sharing information" and falsely claimed that "China has bought the world time."
Lie No. 2 -- Ghebreyesus kowtowed to China and delayed declaring COVID-19 an international health emergency until February 2020, after it had spread to 18 countries.
Lie No. 3 -- The WHO promised an investigation into the virus's origins but allowed China to block the WHO investigators from talking to Chinese scientists or disease victims, or even examining patient data. WHO went along with the phony conclusion that a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was "extremely unlikely."
Despite these lies, the scientific establishment at most U.S. universities and scientists at the federal health agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paint a glowing false picture of WHO, claiming the U.S. will be less safe without it.
Many, including WHO's biggest advocate, Anthony Fauci, also back WHO's ongoing push for a global pandemic treaty.
That treaty proposal is a confiscatory piece of mischief that would have forced the U.S. to hand over a whopping 20% of medical supplies to WHO in the event of a global crisis. All for the sake of global equity. WHO -- meaning China -- would decide which countries get the supplies -- and prevent the U.S. from prioritizing Americans' needs.
Typical of the dangerous global thinking dominating academic science, Harvard health expert Jesse Bump says the treaty is designed to correct "the shameful and selfish actions of rich countries in the COVID pandemic."
Exiting WHO is a first step, but the Trump administration also needs to clean house at the federal health agencies, replacing the globalist bias that has caused these agencies to squander billions in other parts of the world while falling short protecting Americans.
You can thank former President Barack Obama and his CDC head Thomas Frieden for launching an America Last philosophy. When Frieden was asked about his top priority, he said it was eradicating polio, though there were only 74 cases in remote parts of the world and none in the U.S.
Obama committed billions to building labs and health infrastructure throughout Africa and Asia, while many health departments in the U.S. were hampered by a lack of these facilities, including disease surveillance systems.
When the mosquito-borne disease Zika struck in 2016, Frieden allocated staff and funding for mosquito control in South America but not to the 26 states in the U.S. threatened by the disease. Frieden insisted mosquito control was a local responsibility here. Tell that to a mother in Florida or Texas who gave birth to a brain-damaged baby.
During Trump's first term, little attention was paid to how globalism diverted health resources to far-off countries that are not even necessarily allies. Then COVID -19 shined a bright light on American public health inadequacies.
Currently the CDC has over 1,600 employees working on the payroll in 60 countries.
David Weldon, Trump's nominee to head the CDC, needs to assure the public that the CDC under his watch will look out for the American people first. Global loyalties be damned.
It turned out to be a global WEALTH emergency.
This is one hell of a dynamic administration.
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
REMEMBER…..each and EVERY NOVEMBER!
Trump had better quit meeting with Gates. Before the inauguration Gates met with Trump for three hours art Mar-Alago.
After the meeting, two of RFK’s vaccine safety advisors who are vaccine safety experts and outspoken about the Covid vaccines, were removed from the Vaccine Safety board.
Oooof
That is disturbing. I have a video if you want it.
That stinks!
I have the video if you want to see it.
Excellent reminders. Thanks.
As far as I’m concerned, Trump should kick the entire UN out of America. I was there decades ago, invited by a friend who worked there. Had lunch in the delegates’ dining room. Men who represented countries that had no paved roads were walking around in very expensive suits with extremely expensive watches on their wrists. A bunch of grifters.
Beautiful building within sight of Trump Tower could be turned into fabulous condos that would add millions to the tax base of NYC.
A lot of people charged for bullshit (crimes) need to have their arrests and convictions expunged and compensation including legal fees paid.
The confiscation of money and by police for supposed terrorism purposes needs to be stopped. You could sue to get your property back but lawyers cost are higher than the confiscated properties’ value. (over $500 - cash grab)
Banking fees, especially CC interest need rolling back to 10%. It’s like the house takes 20% of every poker pot ( year). Eventually the house gets it all.
I caught the virus during a Caribbean cruise November 2019. Lucky for me, it was before the pandemic news broke and cruise ships were quarantined.
