Trump hears a WHO. Oversteps authority?

[Along Came Jones]

A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official, John Nkengasong, sent a memo to senior leaders at the agency on Sunday night telling them that all agency staff who work with the WHO must immediately stop their collaborations and “await further guidance.”

President Trump last week issued an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the U.S. from WHO, but that did not take immediate effect. Leaving WHO requires the approval of Congress and that the U.S. meets its financial obligations for the current fiscal year. The U.S. also must provide a one-year notice.

“Talking to WHO is a two-way street,” he added, noting that WHO and U.S. health officials benefit from each other's expertise. The collaboration allows the U.S. to learn about new tests and treatments as well as about emerging outbreaks — information “which can help us protect Americans abroad and at home.” -- CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal, Mike Stobbe, The Associated Press, 1/27/2025

Ok, so, if we leave, we will start falling behind the rest of the world in medical sciences while maintaining and overly expensive and ineffective health care system.

Good job America! You really know how to put yourself in a worse and worse position.

It gets even better...Trump has essentially shut down NIH as well.

‘Never seen anything like this’: Trump’s team halts NIH meetings and travel

In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research.

His administration has abruptly cancelled research-grant reviews, travel and trainings for scientists inside and outside the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s largest public biomedical funder.

The cancelling of meetings and travel is part of a pause in external communications issued on 21 January by the NIH’s parent organization, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Researchers who spoke to Nature say that although a short, daylong pause in communications at US agencies has occurred in the past when new administrations have started, to reorient strategy, the reach and length of the Trump team’s — it is set to last until at least 1 February — is unprecedented. Without advisory-committee meetings, the NIH cannot issue research grants, temporarily freezing 80% of the agency’s US$47-billion budget that funds research across the country and beyond.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” says Carole LaBonne, a developmental biologist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, who has received funding from the agency for more than 20 years. The uncertainty caused by the pause will be “devastating for the scientific community”, particularly for early-career researchers, LaBonne adds.

Trump has also halted all public communication from the CDC, FDA, and NIH.

And with Avian flu on the upswing, what could go wrong?


See that image a 4 o'clock. That's a human, and Avian Flu has already transferred to humans through cattle and poultry.

You are expecting Donald J Trump to obey the law when it gets in the way?

You are expecting Donald J Trump to obey the law when it gets in the way?

Why should he? The Supreme Court has said the law is for the little people. The office of the presidency is a get-out-of-jail-free card for convicted felons and rapists.

There wouldn’t be so many cases if they stopped testing.
