Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, expressed support for the World Health Organization in a break from President Trump, who said last month that the US would terminate its relationship with the WHO
"I've been dealing with the WHO now for four decades. I have a number of colleagues I have interacted with and continue to. I have a very good relationship with the director general of WHO," Fauci told CBC News."The WHO is an imperfect organization. It certainly has made some missteps, but it has also done a lot of good. The world needs a WHO.
"I feel confident that the public health partnership that we have -- although it may be modified in some way at a political level -- I don't think it's going to be modified in terms of our public health efforts," Redfield said during a House Appropriations hearing on the Covid-19 response.The WHO has been criticized for relying on official Chinese government figures relating to the coronavirus, numbers that many officials doubt are accurate.
