Trump is withdrawing the U.S. from WHO. Here's what that means
www.sciencenews.org

... For the second time, President Donald Trump has announced plans to pull the plug on U.S. support for the World Health Organization. The global health and humanitarian organization works to eradicate disease and track outbreaks, which often ignore international borders.

On January 20, Trump signed an executive order stating the United States' intent to withdraw from the Switzerland-based organization, a process that takes 12 months. His first attempt to exit the WHO in July 2020 was thwarted by President Joe Biden, who took office in 2021 and reversed the decision.

The United States helped found WHO in 1948. "For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives," the organization said in a statement. "Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication." ...

The WHO seems to be an example of American Excellence, something that Pres Trump seems to promote.

So, why end the US membership?

Bird Flu Studies Delayed as White House Halts CDC Reports

... As a bird flu outbreak escalates across the U.S., the Trump administration has paused the release of key public health studies, stalling research that could provide insight into how the virus spreads to animals and people.

The blocked studies were supposed to be published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), a respected journal that has reported on health threats since 1952.

One of the studies examines whether veterinarians working with cattle have unknowingly been infected, and another explores whether people may have passed the virus to pet cats, according to CNN.

These reports could help scientists track and prevent future infections.

But a new memo from the Department of Health and Human Services has placed an "immediate pause" on communications. Approval is now required from a presidential appointee before publishing, according to the memo. ...

A "Presidential appointee?"

In other words someone who kisses the amble derriere of Pres Trump to have gotten the appointment?

And this is beneficial for the health of the Country, how?
