This actually may end up being a good thing as it’ll prevent the US for dictating policy decisions for the rest of the world.
Or kill billions, who knows.
The US doesn’t have billions of citizens.
The move means the U.S. will leave the United Nations health agency in 12 months’ time and stop all financial contributions to its work. The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.
Edit: by the way, Tesla is gonna give Elon $58 billion a year.
18% is easily able to be made up by the remaining members, China will likely make up most of that just as a way to step more into the role of hegemon after the us fully exits it’s role.

America is the only free country in the world so Oregon can choose just not to die of dysentery
I’m afraid China may dictate it instead and we all know that can’t possibly be an improvement.
Oh boy, I always wanted to live out my childhood experiences in Oregon Trail in real life.
You have died of dysentery.
Yeah that’s bad
It’s a good thing America has a good health care system then right…right?
On the flip side, the US health agencies will keep their back channels open to the WHO.
If something particularly nasty crops us they’ll have no choice other than to collaborate
What good does the WHO do anyway. Just blast your lungs with sunlight and it will cure all!
