Leave @who.int because it’s “too expensive.”
Now spend 3× more to rebuild a weaker version from scratch when the infrastructure is already in place.
You can’t make this up. This isn’t cost-cutting.
It’s sabotage of global health—and people will die because of it.

The Trump administration withdrew the US from #WHO, complaining it was paying too much & criticizing WHO's response to #Covid.
It is now proposing to build an alternative to WHO's outbreak surveillance & response capacity that would cost the US 3 times more.

HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

When he was named NIH director instead, I was surprised but it made sense because the ethos of this administration seemed to be payback—Bhattacharya had a longstanding grudge against fmr director Collins.
