    This actually may end up being a good thing as it’ll prevent the US for dictating policy decisions for the rest of the world.

          The move means the U.S. will leave the United Nations health agency in 12 months’ time and stop all financial contributions to its work. The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.

          Edit: by the way, Tesla is gonna give Elon $58 billion a year.

            18% is easily able to be made up by the remaining members, China will likely make up most of that just as a way to step more into the role of hegemon after the us fully exits it’s role.

            Why do you think we shipped them off on that continent to begin with?

        America is the only free country in the world so Oregon can choose just not to die of dysentery

      I’m afraid China may dictate it instead and we all know that can’t possibly be an improvement.

    What good does the WHO do anyway. Just blast your lungs with sunlight and it will cure all!

    “World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore," Trump said

    Everybody rips us off, so I’m going to make sure that only I am able to rip us off.

    Also, bruh, you had all sorts of warnings and didn’t do anything until too late - that’s on you.

    On the flip side, the US health agencies will keep their back channels open to the WHO.

    If something particularly nasty crops us they’ll have no choice other than to collaborate

      Absolutely. I’m really hoping for bird flu, honestly. If 50% of us die, may it be the 50% who will actively work to not stay healthy and who can easily be made to believe hand washing is for the woke.
