Should the government fund the World Health Organization?
The World Health Organization was founded in 1948 and is a specialized agency of the United Nations whose main objective is “the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.” The organization provides technical assistance to countries, sets international health standards and guidelines, and collects data on global health issues through the World Health Survey. The WHO has led global public health efforts including the development of an Ebola Vaccine and the near-eradication of polio and smallpox. The organization is run by a decision-making body composed…

Yes

Think back to 2020 when the COVID pandemic hit & if there wasn't a WHO to help internationally how would we have been allowed to vaccinate people without Authorisation, the simple answer we wouldn't people wouldn't have been safe if they went on several flights only to get sick within a few hours.
@ISIDEWITH4yrs4Y
No
@9F9ZDSV7mos7MO
People who answer no to the position of the world health need help. The word health can impact many lives.
@ISIDEWITH4yrs4Y
No, fund national and local programs instead
@9GWK6BN5mos5MO
The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress. Open-air markets with bats, where the virus supposedly came, are common across China. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting gain-of-function research on the Coronavirus, and several members of their staff were hospitalized with "flu-like symptoms" just before the outbreak of Covid-19; the Chinese government has kept the nature of their illness a complete secr… Read more

Funding WHO helps provide research and information gathered by other countries which can assist the US.
@9FN53SQRepublican6mos6MO
By allocating funds to local healthcare initiatives, governments can address specific health needs and tailor interventions to local communities.
@ISIDEWITH4yrs4Y
Yes, and increase the amount
@9FQ9FHLRepublican6mos6MO
These "experts" have consistently been wrong at worst, and liars at best. Additionally, the United States is a sovereign entity, not subject to unelected pseudo-governments.
@9GWK6BN5mos5MO
WHO tried to help bury the Covid Lab Leak theory, they are likely complicit in some way in the development of Covid-19.
@9FN53SQRepublican6mos6MO
funding should only be increased if the organization demonstrates a commitment to being more accountable for its actions and decisions.
@9F5JDPP7mos7MO
The WHO is a biased organization trying to strip countries of their autonomy to control disease. It has collided with big pharma industries to sell COVID vaccines to governments to give to people who don’t need them. They also covered up the side effects of drugs including the COVID vaccine.
@ISIDEWITH4yrs4Y
No, it has shown to be ineffective
@9FSK3GM6mos6MO
The World Health Organization has done many things for the healthcare industry, including the reduction of the spread of COVID-19. They have given the general population great advice for different diseases, such as how to prevent and treat them, among other things. The WHO should continue to exist and provide the world with advancements in healthcare.
@9FLGZ386mos6MO
The WHO has proven to fight against pandemics in the face of overwhelming odds its reliability remains superb & if we didn't have the WHO back then how can they treat suffering Africans, or Asians with little to no economies proving to be high?

@ISIDEWITH4yrs4Y
I dont understand the question
@8N8CSTZ3yrs3Y
It depends on the circumstance.
@8J35PVG3yrs3Y
No, the government should not fund any non-governmental organisations.
@8NLXPX3Independent3yrs3Y
The World Health Organization (WHO) should receive funding from all United Nations recognized countries. However, a country should be allowed to either restrict or stop funding entirely. Should a country choose to restrict funding, a formal process must be developed so as all countries understand the reasoning for it.
@Alpha101Republican3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if there is serious reform.
After a full investigation is conducted on how WHO handled the COVID crisis, we should adjust our contribution accordingly.
@7BK2VZ6Republican4yrs4Y
No, and the World Health Organization should be dissolved
@8FJ3DPX3yrs3Y
I don’t have enough information
@8JFLWNV3yrs3Y
Yes but in proportion to what other countries are supporting and economically where the government stands.
@8LF65LM3yrs3Y
i need to learn more about this topic
@6HDD83RRepublican3yrs3Y
Drastically reduce or end funding for as long as non-communist countries continue to have diplomatic relations with China (PRC) (instead of Taiwan (ROC) and recognize it's government as the sole legitimate government government of all China, and allowing people with PRC passports or passports with PRC visas and stamp, to enter the borders of non-communist countries
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, and fund national and local programs as well
@8FC772F3yrs3Y
Yes but not to the detriment of healthcare in our own country.
@8L4D89F3yrs3Y
Yes and no for this topic.
@8NB82793yrs3Y
You should contribute the same as other country's and fund local programs more
@8KKFKHH3yrs3Y
Everyone should be funded equally
We should only contribute comparable to everyone else, but this would be so that we have more funding for national and local programs.
@LGarceau73yrs3Y
Yes, but only after thorough investigation rules out any corruption without the WHO.
@9D3RPBQ8mos8MO
Not enough information for judgement, so I will remain neutral right now.
@8XBTDDH2yrs2Y
@8KSCNJ43yrs3Y
I would need more information to answer this question
@9DTR2T2Independent7mos7MO
No, and imprison Bill Gates for crimes against humanity
@9D9TN4F8mos8MO
Yes but in proportion to what other countries are supporting and economically where the government stands in terms of debt
@9B8BFNG11mos11MO
No, the WHO is trying to take over the world.
@6HDD83RRepublican3yrs3Y

@8MYG5KK3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the WHO is reformed.
@8MXT4B23yrs3Y
Only if doing so would pressure the WHO to take positions aligning with our interests rather than our potential international rivals
@8GLW8NG3yrs3Y
Yes, but decrease the amount and fund more national and local programs instead
