United States permanently withdraws from the World Health Organization

What information did they provide to us from China that helped us?
They were against restricting travel from China, but Trump put in restrictions anyway. What sort of coordination have they provided that we will miss?
Do you think withdrawing from WHO exhibits hysteria and xenophobia?

Think of the money we are saving. I am NEVER a fan of world organizations of any kind.

Did Trumps travel restrictions from China help? Consider:

  1. Thousands travelled from China to the US because the back allowed them to. No attempt was made to isolate those people and track/trace.

  2. The outbreak in New York was traced to travel from Europe.

Politics aside, what benefit did the China half-ban provide us?

We got the cdc right?

No I think withdrawing from the WHO is excuse-making and distraction.

And I don’t even like the WHO all that much.

Yeah…and remember…“there’s no evidence of person to person transmission”.

Oh…and speaking of dumb… :sunglasses:

15 cases will be zero soon.

We have it pretty much contained.

One day it will just magically disappear.

Burning up relationships all over will lead to the same result whether we like it or not.

I’m pretty happy about it, myself.

For all of the reasons listed in this thread.

Ahhhhhhh…you get your medical advice from the President? That is “dumb”. :sunglasses:

Our relationships are not based on membership in WHO.

Apparently, they aren’t based on mutual trust and respect these days either.

Nor were they ever.

Yeah you’re like totally right. I mean when we had allies during two world wars it was solely for convenience. :roll_eyes:

Desperation. Before it was even over, one of those “allies” became enemy #1, another dragged us into Indochina and another put us in between them, Israel and the Arabs.

You do if you’re the one holding the checkbook.

Do you always need a plan or an alternative when you don’t like something? We’ve gone how long prior to the ACA, why does it now have to be replaced?

Why do we need a plan after pulling out of the Paris climate agreement? Are you suggesting we should have signed a bad agreement for lack of an alternative? Who does that?

Stoopid Trump! - obvious lib response.

Excellent move by the United States - everyone else.

It’s not just the WHO I am talking about.

Nothing lasts forever.

If that’s what you’re counting on…you’re making a grave mistake.

World powers have learned that harsh lesson before.
