The Spin
The WHO proved itself corrupt during COVID by pushing lockdowns and dangerous vaccines while serving as a globalist arm of Big Pharma. After 77 years of America funding an organization that puts China first, this withdrawal reclaims sovereignty and stops billions in taxpayer dollars from flowing to an unaccountable body that failed the world.
Withdrawing from the WHO creates a dangerous vacuum that China will exploit while weakening American biosecurity at the worst possible time. With threats like climate-driven pathogens accelerating, abandoning the world's unparalleled disease detection network leaves Americans more vulnerable to the next pandemic.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 10% chance that the WHO will announce a non-H5N1 pandemic before Jan. 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
