If the US pays a magnitude of money more than China to the WHO, how are we to believe that the WHO is China's puppet, and not an extension of western power? How is China so clever with its maneuverings that its relatively puny contributions go so far?

The WHO has been in scandal before regarding [exorbitant spending on travel.] (https://apnews.com/3d8569ea7bd140e4ba02bc1712cd12ab)

"wherever it originated in the world?" are you a CCP shill? it originated in China. Wuhan Province. It's not a mystery. And talk about not cooperating, that would be the CCP. Who not only destroyed all evidence on the ground but was and is unwilling to share any data with the world. Oh yeah, they also lied about the virus and how bad it was. They also got the WHO to say it wasn't a big deal and there was no person to…
It was in Europe as early as December 27: https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-timeline-is-upended... It doesn't even matter where the virus comes from. Why was South Korea able to handle it better than the US?
We have handled it atrociously here in the US, and the reasons were myriad. But it's disingenuous to compare nations, we all operate differently.

The theory goes (which I'm not espousing just relaying) that you could simply bribe top WHO officials and avoid having to provide magnitudes of money. The WHO has been in scandal before regarding [exorbitant spending on travel.] ( https://apnews.com/3d8569ea7bd140e4ba02bc1712cd12ab )

I don't know if it's bribery at work here. Rather, it's anger at American behavior over the last decades which is pushing it closer to China. America is the WHO's primary superpower sponsor, and protector. In the courtship of a new sponsor, China, it could be just that: stoking anger and offering a choice.
That doesn't mean the WHO or China have clean hands, just that in an election year for the US my bias would lean towards this being about politics.

How does this make the US safer?
Whats not safe is continuing to work with someone obvious playing fast and lose with the world.
