    Trump says he will place a hold on WHO funds amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.us...o-funds-amid-coronavirus-pandemic?context=amp

    Trump says the WHO is very China-centric.

    This is a smart move. We give more money to the WHO than any other country and nobody has been more wrong about the pandemic than the WHO.

    The WHO director general Tedos Adhanom Ghebreyesus appears appears to be in China’s pocket. He minimized the virus from a start and was critical of travel restrictions that affected China. He has also praised China all along the way.

    Hold the funds - unless they get a new director General that we approve of.

    Thoughts?

    Excellent move. Much needed, and we should consider if trusting them in the future is worth it.

    The WHO is an arm of the U.N. I'd like to see all funds to the U.N. stopped.

    I really support this decision because the WHO has been nothing but China lobbyists during this pandemic.

    First they said it couldn’t be transmitted person to person.

    Then they said we didn’t need travel restrictions against China.

    Then they praised China’s handling of the virus at every turn.

    We should demand a new director general & then investigate if China gave the current director general any type of kickback.

    Seems like we are always paying the tab for the UN & WHO & they treat us like dirt.

    This is the biggest health crisis in our lifetime and the WHO has performed like the 1962 Mets.

    Chiba has less cases than we do I think. Maybe they did do a better job.

    Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). He is from Ethopia, which basically China owns due to the massive debt Ethopia has to China. The guy is a shill for China and its obvious with the lies and obfuscation. But, no one need worry that Trump will not sign a bill with money allocated for WHO, because it will never happen. Senator Lindsey Graham said he will block any legislation that has a dime in it for the WHO.

    A new study in Europe says that it could have. Even 95% less if China was honest 3 weeks earlier.

    China’s wet markets are going to reopen.
    The CDC has been saying that the China wet markets are responsible for Sars and they were not surprised they are responsible for Cov19

    How many more virus are we going to let them start?

    I have no doubt China lied about their numbers, but if they are reopening hopefully the world will follow.

    No one called it a hoax.

    Yet while Trump saved many lives by implementing a travel ban, Pelosi was telling people to gather in large crowds in china town to spread the virus.

    Humpty Trumpty accusing others of dropping this ball? Oh well, it's never him dropping the ball, is it, so it must be someone else's fault. Blame Shiner, now the WHO...never Humpty.

    The OP makes it clear that Trump has 'walked back' his childish outburst.

    WHO is largely to blame for putting out false information as an organization we need to trust.

    Trump has put out excellent information designed to both stop the spread of panic, and his daily briefings are great full of information Americans need to know.

    Before I answer, are you genuinely uninformed about the false information or just trying to make a deeper point of some sort?

    Because you did this yesterday to and disappeared after I showed you what you were asking for.

    The WHO is full of Democrats who serve the MSM who serve China.

    Don't you believe that the virus was made by the US and that's why you all call it the trump virus?

    I am putting you to task. Back your assertion up. What false information came out of WHO concerning this nasty? Here is some false information from Trump.

    Watch his mouth move and hear the words come out.

    Sounds like Chinese propaganda to me.

    I hear china was putting people in body bags while still alive amongst tons of other shenanigans.

    Democrats seem to be shilling for them these days.

    Democrats are owned by the MSM

    The MSM is owned by China

    You “put me to task” yesterday as well and upon me backing up my claim you disappeared. So it makes me cast doubts on how genuine you are in asking.

    Trumps information has by design been an attempt to stop panic. He also has excellent ratings every day because the information he is putting out is doctor approved.

    So, doctors approved those statements he made on the left hand side of the two videos in the Link I gave? I call that as bullshit. Come on, let's see the false information you assert WHO has put out concerning this virus.

    This bloke could also have claimed that in lying through his teeth, he was merely attempting to stop panic. A litle too little and far from the truth, just like Humpty Trumpty.

    Trumps information has been great, designed to both prevent panic and combat both the economic impact that was going to be bad no matter what, and keep people alive. His daily briefings have great ratings because they are full of great information that Americans need to hear, all doctor approved.

    And like I said, i need to hear an answer here first. Last time you did this you ghosted upon getting the information you pressed for. It makes me doubt your intentions. Are you genuinely just uninformed on the WHO misinformation, or are you trying to make some deeper point?

    "Trump's information has been great." And right before your eyes, you see proof of his stupid obviously NON Doctor approved bullshit. Let's see the false information WHO put out about this virus, with no more prevarication.
