As of today, the US is no longer a member of the World Health Organization—and it leaves the United Nations health agency with hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid bills, according to reporting by Stat News.

    The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and will not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

    Right now it’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within the remainder of my lifetime.

    I just want all the conservatives to die during the next pandemic and for all hospitals to refuse them access. All conservative men, women, and children should just stay home and pray to death. They won’t be missed.

          I started out lib-right as a child, and am now lib-left. My father is a true white suprematist.

          What an absolute shit take. No they don’t. I grew up conservative. Megan Phelps grew up in God hates faqs westboro baptist church and so did her sister. They both got out and Megan is an activist now.

          You need to grow the fuck up.

          And I’ve seen plenty of left leaners become conservative as well.

            Naw. You’re a unicorn, not a trend. Most conservatives worldwide don’t change and they would be better 6 feet under than ruining people’s lives further.

                Spoken like a true liberal in name only. You’d suck the teat of white supremacy in a heartbeat if it benefitted you.

                  I’m a white supremacist because I don’t want to condemn kids to death from illness because their parents are conservative and so they’ll be conservative. You’re really fucking not bright you DUMB FUCK

    Medical advisors were warning about the developments of super bugs due to over use of antibiotics and other medicines especially from Meat and Milk Industries. I think they have some how contributed to this move.

    Good. At this point the more isolated US is the better. Them leaving WHO only means they won’t be able to block things and push their fascist agenda.

      I agree, USA would probably just be a bad influence on WHO anyway.
      Denying science and demanding WHO follow American politics.
      It sucks that USA has sunk so deep, they have the qualified people, but common superstition means more than actual knowledge and qualifications in USA now.

      I have a sneaking suspicion that the US will make their own Board of Health. Trump will then claim that he has found the cure for cancer - a special compound created when arsenic trioxide is bathed in chlorine gas. And Trump will then kindly offer to cure all of Denmark’s citizens of cancer, with force is necessary.

      Crystal healing is far too left wing for most of the US, we prefer our diluted bleach and faith healing untainted with your hippy nonsense thankyou very much.

        What are you on about you liberal extremist you? It’s horse dewormer that’s the proven medicine. Stop trying to stereotype us as bleach drinkers - we only do that once every six months
