Meanwhile you might take a look at the services the WHO provides globally rather than using it as a shield to deflect from failures in US policy.

What services does WHO provide in the United States?

Have you ever been in a remote rural area when parents were lining up to have their children vaccinated and the cartons of supplies had the American flag on them?

I suppose Ayn Rand would be appalled at such an obvious lack of selfishness.

In the US? I’ve certainly never seen boxes here with WHO on them.

Of course not… stop being obtuse.

Or would you rather cede world leadership to China, which seems to be our current foreign policy.

Obtuse?

The discussion is centered around the cost/benefit for the US of pouring billions into WHO.

It would seem we already have with regards to origins of pandemics.

I gave an answer with regard to the cost-benefit to the US. You’re pretending not to understand it is you being obtuse.

Did you? Strange. So the cost is direct, the benefit is not?

The initial question was pretty clear. (To me.)

Nothing obtuse in trying to keep the conversation on point.

I described a service that US funding of the WHO provides to the United States… which was very much on point.

What service does the WHO provide to the US? When Sneaky asked for clarification of your example happening in the US, you replied, “Of course not… stop being obtuse.”

Maybe I’m just misunderstanding the words you used and what they were supposed to mean. As they stand in that quoted conversation, you just look confused to me.

I don’t blame you, you’re a victim.

Question, what help has WHO been in the US with this pandemic?

[conan]

Precisely…He specifically stated what services WHO provided in the United States.

Now I’ve been in and out of some most rural areas of United states and this is first time I’ve heard WHO was involved.

[Impenitent]

stop funding the WHO…

We won’t get fooled again!!!

It influences perceptions of the US by providing aid in underdeveloped countries and it helps to contain problems in other countries, although no system like that is perfect.

It developed an effective coronavirus test that the US would have been much better off adopting rather than insisting that everything done here would be better. That, in itself, provides ample justification to maintain the WHO, unless your goal is to look for scapegoats to deflect from the failures of the Trump administration.

Just calling it like it is. Now that Xi has cracked the whip on Trump blaming China (we need their masks) he needs a new scapegoat.

This thread about the WHO only exists because Trump tweeted about them. You’re just dancing to whatever tune Trump and his Fox publicists call.

So none. Thanks.

We do that outside of WHO initiatives anyway. Why funnel money through yet another organization that need to take it’s operating expenses off the top?

I dunno, maybe the same kind of benefit we got when they were instrumental in eradicating smallpox and polio?

Worldwide. You can’t just eradicate something here and expect it to stay eradicated.
