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.

    “I’m going to start my own WHO, with crystals and essential oils……” The US….probably.

    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.

    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.

      At the current rate of most US citizens waiting until the midterms to see what happens, I anticipate not seeing it in my lifetime.

      Meanwhile I got a new gun today and doubled my ammo stock.

    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.

    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.
