And the other shoe drops - WHO

The World Health Organization is in the pay of the Communist Chinese despite them contributing less than one percent of their annual funding. The US contributes 15% of their annual funding ($400 million of our taxpayer dollars) and the WHO treats us like a little child. Time for a change. And now, England (which is number two in contributions) is following suit - from the UK Express:

Boris urged to follow Trump and pull billions in funding from World Health Organisation
The US President stunned the world on Tuesday when he announced he would be stopping funding to the organisation following weeks of criticism. Donald Trump has continued to claim the WHO had promoted China's "disinformation" about the virus that likely led to a wider coronavirus outbreak than otherwise would have occurred. He claimed the WHO had failed to investigate credible reports from sources in China's Wuhan province that conflicted with Beijing's accounts about the spread and "parroted and publicly endorsed" the idea that human to human transmission was not happening.

And the United Kingdom?

But now the UK, the biggest donor to the organisation outside of the US, has also been urged to pull funding.

Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs think tank, said: “The coronavirus pandemic has shown that the World Health Organisation needs to be reformed or replaced.

"As the organisation's second-biggest funder, the UK should follow America’s lead. In 2018, the UK gave the WHO $200m, the equivalent of billions of face masks or thousands of ICU ventilators.

"It needs to be made clear that the WHO leadership has to be replaced and the agency has to return to its core mission of tackling epidemics with transparency, honesty and a single-minded focus.

"This is not the first time it has dropped the ball on infectious disease. The harsh truth is that it will not reform itself unless it is threatened with budget cuts."

Could not be happening to a nicer bunch of kleptocrats and hangers on. Nice to see our brothers across the pond acting wisely.
