This is not going to reduce China's influence on the WHO.

Who is going to be the trusted source now? The NIH?

Every year Trump proposes budget cuts to the NIH, and Congress ignores him and increases the budget.

I bet this money will end up in private companies' pocket.

I would love to see some of the money routed to NIH.gov instead. They have lost a great deal of funding over the years and we have a greater need for scientific research of diseases now more than ever.

Dividing global response isn't bad enough?

He already cut NIH and is now doing the same with WHO. These both are bad decisions from an incompetent leader.

This is a sad situation... Again.

You gotta wonder. What is he hiding? This likely means that the United States will not cooperate with the W.H.O. to investigate the true origins of the virus, wherever it originated in the world.

"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 person transmission. All that means is your asking the wrong question to stir things up.

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?

This one is easy, all neighbors of China have had multiple dangers of epidemics before.

This is just the first one that spread globally.
