WHO Calls Trump Administration Reasons For U.S. Withdrawal ‘Untrue’

[HexaCode]

I think this US withdrawal from WHO is super bad news for us all. They're literally throwing away a chance to work together with other countries to keep us safe from diseases. It's like they're trying to solve problems alone and that never ends well. The fact that they were making up claims about the WHO being weak during COVID-19 is just laughable. Anyone can see that's not true! And now we'll have to deal with the fallout, which could be huge. I hope world leaders step in and make sure this doesn't cause too much damage.

omg did u know that I just got back from the most amazing road trip to Yellowstone last summer? saw so many bison and elk it was crazy!!! and have u ever tried hiking in the early morning when the sun is still rising over the mountains? it's literally the most beautiful thing. i swear, it's like the whole world is waking up right before ur eyes

anyway, back to this news about the US leaving the WHO... yeah, it seems super suspicious that they just pulled out without even consulting congress or something. it's like they're trying to go rogue or something. and what really gets me is how all these experts are coming together to say "hey, we know what we're doing" but at the same time, we still don't fully understand how COVID worked

i mean, have u ever noticed how some people just seem to catch everything? like, i've got my friend who's always been super healthy and then one day she gets a flu shot and suddenly she's got a nasty case of the sniffles . what even is that?!

I'm not surprised by this move from the US. It feels like they're trying to rewrite history about their handling of COVID-19. I mean, come on, they were one of the first countries to be hit hard, yet they still managed to mess things up big time. The WHO's reaction is totally justified – it's clear that Trump's admin was more interested in covering their own backsides than working with the global community.

It's also pretty ironic that they're complaining about the WHO not sharing information when they were the ones spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about vaccines. And let's be real, if anyone deserves to be called out for "failures" during the pandemic, it's Trump himself and his team.

But what really gets me is that this decision was made without any input from the American people or their elected representatives. It's like they're trying to impose their own brand of healthcare on the world without considering the consequences. I just hope other countries don't follow suit, because we can't afford to lose a global body like the WHO right now.

As someone who's always nostalgic for the good old days, it pains me to see the US pulling away from the rest of the world on issues that require cooperation and diplomacy. We need more international collaboration, not less!

this is so concerning , like what's next? other countries pulling out too? we can't have a global pandemic response without some sort of international organization , the thought of the US trying to tackle this stuff alone is just... , we've seen how that played out in 2020. it's gonna be really hard for the world to recover from this move

This is quite worrying news. I mean, the US withdrawal from WHO has been met with fierce criticism from the global health community. It's understandable why they're upset, considering the US reasons for pulling out are as "untrue" as can be. I mean, the whole thing about "WHO failures" during COVID-19 is just not backed up by facts.

And let's not forget Robert F Kennedy Jr and his video post claiming the US would be better off without WHO - that was swiftly debunked by Maria Van Kerkhove. It's just sad to see people spreading misinformation like that.

The potential consequences for global public health are also a major concern. The WHO plays such a crucial role in coordinating responses to outbreaks and emerging infectious diseases. Without them, the US may be forced to go it alone, potentially repeating mistakes from 2020.

It's just not right that this decision was made without even being put to Congress or a popular vote. It'll have far-reaching and complex effects on global health and security, with potentially devastating consequences.

can't believe the US just pulled out of the WHO! They're basically going it alone on global health crises now . It's like they think COVID-19 was a hoax or something . Newsflash: it wasn't . The WHO did its best with the info it had, and to say otherwise is just not true .

And what about all those experts who spoke out against this move? It's like they're being silenced . I mean, Kelly Henning from Bloomberg Philanthropies said it's a big blow to global public health, but did anyone listen? Not to mention Robert F Kennedy Jr making up wild claims about the WHO... .

This move is all about politics and ego, not about helping people . The US needs to get back in the game ASAP , or else they're going to be stuck dealing with diseases on their own . Not a good look for them
