The move means the U.S. will leave the United Nations health agency in 12 months' time and stop all financial contributions to its work. The United States is by far the WHO's biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO's most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.
Edit: by the way, Tesla is gonna give Elon $58 billion a year.
18% is easily able to be made up by the remaining members, China will likely make up most of that just as a way to step more into the role of hegemon after the us fully exits it's role.
Absolutely. I'm really hoping for bird flu, honestly. If 50% of us die, may it be the 50% who will actively work to not stay healthy and who can easily be made to believe hand washing is for the woke.
This actually may end up being a good thing as it'll prevent the US for dictating policy decisions for the rest of the world.
Or kill billions, who knows.
The US doesn't have billions of citizens.

Oh boy, I always wanted to live out my childhood experiences in Oregon Trail in real life.
You have died of dysentery.
It's a good thing America has a good health care system then right...right?
America has excellent healthcare. Swipe your credit card here please and we'll get started
Pay to win healthcare
It's the paying for it part that we are um still working on.
Just in time for the coming bird flu pandemic.
Yeah that's bad
What good does the WHO do anyway. Just blast your lungs with sunlight and it will cure all!
... or rinse with bleach. Guaranteed to reduce the number of patients.
Wow. I woke up this morning!
Feeling so much better!
I can see why now!
Stupid signed us out of the WHO.
It's all the diseases inside me just partying like crazy. I hope that lasts.
Everybody rips us off, so I’m going to make sure that only I am able to rip us off.
Also, bruh, you had all sorts of warnings and didn’t do anything until too late - that’s on you.
Mentally ill country should be Physically Ill too.

On the flip side, the US health agencies will keep their back channels open to the WHO.
If something particularly nasty crops us they’ll have no choice other than to collaborate
