The #US has finalized its withdrawal from the #WorldHealthOrganization, one year after #Trump announced the US was ending its 78-yr-old commitment….But it’s hardly a clean break.The US owes >$130 million to the global #health agency, according to #WHO. And Trump admin officials acknowledge that they haven’t finished working out some issues, such as lost access to data from other countries that could give America an early warning of a new #pandemic.#PublicHealth #lawhttps://apnews.com/article/world-health-organization-trump-b6e0be566c7db9aece0334e987d516f1

The withdrawal will hurt the global response to new #outbreaks & will hobble the ability of #US #scientists & #pharmaceutical companies to develop #vaccines & #medicines against new threats, said Lawrence Gostin, a #PublicHealth #law expert at Georgetown University.The #WHO is the #UnitedNations’ specialized #health agency & is mandated to coordinate the response to global health threats.#Trump #idiocracy

#WHO also provides technical assistance to poorer countries; helps distribute scarce #vaccines, supplies & treatments; & sets guidelines for hundreds of #health conditions, including mental health & cancer.Nearly every country in the world is a member.#PublicHealth #law #Trump #idiocracy

@Nonilex Trump is, to use a vacination metaphor, a prick!
