The US has consistently been the single largest contributor to the @WHO. Over the past 2 years, the US has given nearly $900 MILLION to the WHO– over 20% of its budget.

As you are no doubt aware, the @WHO statement on January 14, 2020 has garnered special attention & criticism.
In that statement, the @WHO said, “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in Wuhan, China.”
Of course, we know now that this was FALSE, and CHINA knew it was false. As internal Chinese government documents reported by the Associated Press make clear, the Chinese government had already secretly concluded by January 14 that human-to-human transmission was rampant.
. @WHO's decision to advise the world there was no evidence of human-to-human virus transmission was a decision to SPREAD INACCURATE INFORMATION & has resulted in incalculable harm. If the WHO is to fulfill its mission, & even continue to exist, it MUST restore public confidence.
