Fifty countries affected by USAID freeze, says WHO

I wonder why WHO thinks the USA should bear so much of the financial burden?!?! Sorry for any 'side effects' but money-bags US is a thing of the past. Find the money elsewhere, streamline operations, eliminate corruption, and insure the money reaches those it's meant for. Full stop.

Programmes to tackle HIV, polio, mpox and bird flu have been affected by the freeze on tens of billions of dollars of overseas aid from the US, says the head of the World Health Organization (WHO).
US President Donald Trump has taken steps to close the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), arguing that its spending is "totally unexplainable".
However, WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has urged the Trump administration to consider resuming aid funding until other solutions can be found.
HIV treatments and other services have been disrupted in 50 countries, he said at a briefing on Wednesday.
Speaking publicly for the first time about the freeze on US aid funding, at a virtual press conference in Geneva, Dr Tedros said: "There are actions that the US government is taking... which we're concerned are having a serious impact on global health."
In particular he pointed to the suspension of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief, which he said had halted HIV treatment, testing and prevention services in 50 countries.

Every US citizen has been pilfered by USAID too! Has any country sent us aid?

This should remind Trump to make sure no US money is going to the WHO.

Didn’t we pull out of WHO? WHO gives a frick? It’s the grift that keeps grifting.

Are HIV treatments free to Americans? No? Then, we shouldn't pay for them in other countries.

After having lived COVID, why would I listen to anything WHO had to say?

We have to get our own house in order, then we maybe can help where needed. But not where people (countries) can help themselves.

A mass die off of people from these undeveloped countries should reduce carbon levels, making environmentalists happy.

Yea, they really do not seem grateful.
At the UN we never get support.
How about a "Thank You" every now and again?
