WHO đã chứng
tỏ sự thiếu tin cậy trong thông tin về dịch bệnh coronavirus. Số tiền gần 500
triệu đô la hằng năm của người dân Hoa Kỳ đóng thuế cho đất nước được dùng tài
trợ cho WHO cần phải được cân nhắc hay ngừng lại nếu WHO không đem lại lợi ích
cho người dân Hoa Kỳ. Vấn đề WHO tương tự vấn đề Khí Hậu, mọi quốc gia cần đóng
góp tiền cho Chính Sách Khí Hậu nếu họ thật sự quan tâm. Tất cả các quốc gia trȇn
thế giới cần phải tích cực đóng góp tài chính cho WHO một cách công bằng. Trung
cộng không thể chỉ đóng góp 40 triệu đô la một năm so với Hoa Kỳ gần 500 triệu đô
la năm. Hoa Kỳ không thể từ bi rộng lượng cho những ai lợi dụng sự rộng lượng đó
làm những việc không có lợi ích thiết thực cho người dân Hoa Kỳ.
Không phải
phȇ bình mà mở cuộc điều tra WHO và Hoa Kỳ có thể rút ra bỏ WHO như rút ra khỏi
Hiệp ước Khí Hậu.

Defeat virus first, criticise later, WHO envoy says after U.S. funding halt
By Alexander Cornwell
DUBAI (Reuters) - The World Health Organization’s COVID-19 special envoy on Wednesday urged countries to focus on defeating the deadly virus after the United States halted funding to the WHO over its handling of the global pandemic.
President Donald Trump, who has become increasingly hostile towards the WHO, on Tuesday announced the United States would cut off funding the Geneva-based organisation, prompting condemnation from infectious disease experts.
“There are one or two countries that seem to be quite concerned about actions that were taken early on in the pandemic...We say to everybody, we plead with everybody, look forward. Focus on the epic struggle right now and leave the recriminations until later,” special envoy David Nabarro told an online conference, without naming the United States or Trump.
"If in the process you decide you want to declare that you’re going to withdraw funding or make other comments about the WHO, remember this is not just the WHO, this is the whole public health community that is involved right now and every single person in the world...is sacrificing."
The United States contributed more than $400 million to the WHO in 2019, roughly 15% of its budget and its biggest overall donor.
Trump has said the WHO failed to act on credible reports from sources in China's Wuhan province, where the virus was first identified in December, that conflicted with Beijing's account of the spread.
Nabarro, who served as the United Nations special envoy on Ebola, warned countries against complacency in tackling the virus which has infected some 2,001,548 people globally and killed at least 131,101, according to a Reuters tally.
"Respond rapidly, respond robustly and then you will be able to contain this virus and hold it at bay," he said.
"If we argue about it, we will get into trouble. The virus will find its way between us and will catch us out and we will be asking ourselves why on earth didn't we move more quickly. Why on earth didn't we develop a unified strategic approach."
