I have to say that I am totally fine with the US no longer having influence over the WHO.
That would be minimum 15% of their budget wiped out. If we force other US charities (really just 1) to stop, or “convince” them not to we could be talking about a 30% decline in revenue.
If that means the Trump administration not having sway over WHO, it’s probably worth it.
In exchange, the WHO gets to make sane policies about vaccines, women’s health, and sexual identity. Could easily be worth it.
If you think the US is the only place where people have backwards views towards vaccines, women’s health, or trans rights I have some bad news for you
It’s not the only place, but it’s particularly loud and forceful about swinging those views around internationally.
That’s roughly a billion / a, nothing other countries couldn’t compensate if necessary. I’d rather have my country foot the bill than RFK Jr. having any influence on the WHO.
Yea, it’d be pretty fucking awesome. Maybe we can convince the US to withdraw from the security council and surrender their veto power as well?
Then we could use our nukes instead of diplomacy! Nothing like wiping countries off the map because we disagree with them.
