President Cuts Funding to World Health Organization

President Trump’s threat to cut funding to the World Health Organization over the pandemic has now become a reality. He strongly believes the WHO played a large “role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of coronavirus” and wants a full review conducted into how they first reacted. The president claims if they had originally taken the matter more serious, “the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death.” The WHO has repeatedly defended their actions, claiming the president is just trying to place blame somewhere else. Many believe defunding the WHO during the pandemic could prove to be a grave decision. One man in particular who has been vocal about this is billionaire Bill Gates. He says the WHO is working tirelessly across the globe to stop the spread of coronavirus in a way that has not been seen anywhere else. The U.S. annually funds the who an average of $400 to $500 million dollars and without that money, many more lives could be lost.
