The CDC has been instructed by the White house to stop engaging with the WHO in person of virtually. This means all the great work the CDC does in responding to international outbreaks is halted. Think #mpox, #marburg, #polio #cholera etc.

The CDC can talk to me instead.
CDC send me reports and such.
I'll send them to the WHO and vice versa.
A wise leader would forge a pact,
But wisdom’s not Trump’s strongest act.
The WHO warns but he won’t see,
That ignorance is the worst disease.
What better way but to keep people in the dark if/when another pandemic joins with the ongoing Covid pandemic. He hates everyone that doesn’t support him and his followers have served their purpose for him.
This just breaks my heart. The United States was always at the lead in all these organizations. I hope we will be welcomed back with open arms sometime in the not-too-distant future.
