Fulcrum7: Why the U.S. Left the World Health Organization
www.fulcrum7.com
A couple months ago, the United States formally left the World Health Organization, bringing to a close a 78-year relationship that, in the end, appears to have run short on mutual respect.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered the news with the air of a man closing a particularly tiresome account. -- “On Thursday,” he stated, “the United States formally withdrew from the World Health Organization. We made this decision to reclaim our independence, protect American sovereignty, and free our public health policy from a system that no longer serves the American people.”
One might call it an amicable separation. Or, more accurately, the sort of separation where one party realizes the other has been spending their money rather freely while ignoring their concerns for several years. The move follows an early executive order from President Trump’s second term, and it has been executed with admirable thoroughness. All U.S. funding has ceased. American staff have packed up and left.
Future dealings with the WHO will be limited to the bureaucratic equivalent of “please forward our post to this address while we do something more important.”
In the (linked Rumble video), Kennedy was characteristically blunt about the departure. Like the United nations, the WHO organization had drifted from its original purpose into the brackish waters of bureaucracy, conflicts of interest, and the morass of international power politics.
