Exclusive: Europeans working with U.S. to restructure WHO, top official says (Trump was right)

European governments are working with the United States on plans to overhaul the World Health Organization, a top health official for a European country said, signalling that Europe shares some of the concerns that led Washington to say it would quit.

The European health official, who spoke on condition of anonymity while discussing initiatives that are not public, said Britain, France, Germany and Italy were discussing WHO reforms with the United States at the technical level.

The aim, the official said, was to ensure WHO’s independence, an apparent reference to allegations that the body was too close to China during its initial response to the coronavirus crisis early this year.

“We are discussing ways to separate WHO’s emergency management mechanism from any single country influence,” said the official.

When President Trump pointed out the failures of The W.H.O. and their all-too close relationship with China he was criticized by the media and politicians.

It looks like there are problems with The W.H.O. that need to be corrected.

The EU is running interference.

They’re working with the ChiComs, against us.

Won’t be anything more than a short-term PR Band-Aid.

The UN and all of it’s agencies are systemically corrupt.
Won’t be a week until China is in there buying influence again.

The EU is running interference.

It's the equivalent of the "Blue Ribbon Commission."

This is ridiculous.

The US has provided most of the funding for WHO. We don’t run the thing and I’m not sure we should. But China clearly runs it — not because they fund it, but because they bribe the administrators.

How does “restructuring” WHO prevent bribery?

Correct. It won’t fix a thing. The same termites will still be in the structure.

Imagine what we could accomplish if our modern “press”
were not ant-American.
