President Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization has sparked international outcry and concerns about the future of global health security.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO). President Trump signed an executive order, stating that the decision was due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of reforms, political influence from WHO member states, and'unfairly onerous payments' from the US. The move has sparked widespread criticism, with many expressing concern about the implications for global health security.
Former WHO Director-General Margaret Chan urged the US to reconsider, highlighting the organization's successes in eradicating smallpox and bringing polio to the brink of eradication. She emphasized the collaborative nature of the WHO, stating that the US and WHO have worked together for over seven decades to save countless lives and protect Americans and people worldwide from health threats.Social media has been flooded with reactions, ranging from outrage to disbelief. Many users questioned the logic of withdrawing from the WHO during a time of increased global health concerns, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of new health threats like bird flu. Some expressed fear that the US would be isolated from global health responses and unprepared for future pandemics. Others criticized the decision as a dangerous move that prioritizes political agendas over public health
