The Donald suspends funding to the WHO.
Donald Trump was condemned for putting countless lives at risk on Tuesday when he announced the US is freezing payments to the World Health Organization (WHO) over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The US president said funding would be on hold for 60 to 90 days pending a review of the WHO’s warnings about the coronavirus and China. He accused the global body of “severely mismanaging and covering up” the threat, even though it declared a public health emergency on 30 January – after which he continued to hold rallies, play golf and compare the coronavirus to the common flu.
This is but a start, though. This vile organisation needs to be completely defunded and razed to the ground. In the early phase of this crisis, Taiwan tried to give information the the WHO but was ignored because the WHO prefers to kowtow to the CCP’s one China policy. Indeed, the nasty little communist in charge of the WHO – Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus preferred to accuse the Taiwanese of racism. Well, there’s a surprise. Interestingly, European politicians are staging a backlash against this policy.
Taiwan has managed to deal with the outbreak effectively, yet has been largely ignored.
So, yes. let’s rid ourselves of these nasty Tranzi organisations and save ourselves a few bob in the process.
Shockingly, The Guardian disapproves of this action, so it’s obviously the right thing to do.
I love Donald’s eff you attitude, born of him being a businessman and not a lifelong politician with favours to repay. He doesn’t need the money or the favours so he can just say what he pleases, to the evident knicker-twisting anguish of the media; now, and hopefully for ever, sidelined.
This, for me, was always the benefit of him entering office. For too long the professional politicians have been in charge. My late wife used to refer to him as kicking over anthills.
Good old Donald; the gift that goes on giving!
Great to see some European politicians standing up for friendly, independent, democratic nations rather than evil, lying, murderous tyrannies.
And for the next course to tickle your palate: fricassee of UN.
Saw it last night, sent me to sleep with Happy Thoughts

BoJo & Scott Morrison need to do same, Arden & Trudeau a lost cause

So Trump has gone and done it. He’s defunded the World Health Organisation, for now at least. I’ve written about it for the Telegraph…

It is a good start – now kick the UN out of New York and defund that pack of parasites too.
As for Tedros, this blog entry gives an outline of his career and his political leanings:

Absolutely no evidence of bias in that little lot, eh?
But they have their best men on the case, their very best men I tell you. Yeah, right …
Isn’t Public Health England a similar outfit in miniature? My understanding is that the organisation has an annual budget of 4.5 billion pounds. How they manage to wazz away that much money on fake charities and radio ads I have no idea. Along comes a genuine public health crisis and this organisation seems to be preventing action rather than facilitating it.
Absolutely,
Raedwald has an excellent couple of paragraphs on PHE today.

4.5 billion buys a lot rolled back into NHS, even more if we have a public commitment that no member of a body paid for by tax money may earn more then the PM.
That position should be the top of the tax paid for tree, everyine else earns less, full stop.
Raedwald has a good turn of phrase about PHE today as well, if enough pressure is kept up about these pests something might be done, they were a wasteful indulgence before & we certainly can’t afford them.now

WHO in the past two years, the U.S. has been the body’s biggest donor, giving $893million (£711million).
Britain is its second biggest benefactor among major countries, shelling out $435 million (£346million), followed by Germany and Japan.
China has contributed just $86 million (£79 million) over the same period
Why are we, UK, giving them more than Germany, Japan etc?
