Public health professionals plead with Trump not to defund WHO
A trio of public health and medical professionals making the rounds on the Sunday morning news shows called for President Donald Trump not to defund the World Health Organization as the administration weighs punitive measures on the public health organization.
White House aides and Trump are debating several far-reaching moves to target the WHO in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, POLITICO reported Friday, including cutting off U.S. funding and trying to create an alternative institution.
“I don't think this is a time to defund the WHO, given the fact that I think this is going to become an epidemic in the Southern Hemisphere, in parts of the world that don't have resources to deal with this kind of a global issue,” Scott Gottlieb, Trump’s former Food and Drug Administration commissioner, said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Gottlieb added, however, that Trump “raised a lot of valid concerns” about Chinese transparency around the Covid-19 outbreak.
“China was not truthful with the world at the outset of this,” Gottlieb said Sunday. “Had they been more truthful with the world, which would have enabled them to be more truthful with themselves, they might have actually been able to contain this entirely.”
