Joe Biden makes mistake with new World Health Organization pledge
By Madison Gesiotto, opinion contributor — 05/04/20 07:00 PM EDT
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has pledged to continue funding the dysfunctional World Health Organization. It is not just another tip of the hat to the left wing. It is an open admission that the former vice president is willing to do anything it takes to protect Chinese interests.
In a recent interview, Biden revealed that he would restore funding to the World Health Organization if he is elected president in November, despite concerns about how the institution mishandled the coronavirus crisis. Let us remember that during the early stages of the pandemic, the World Health Organization criticized international restrictions, urging countries to avoid travel bans such as the ones imposed by President Trump.
“We reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade,†the World Health Organization director general said three months ago, arguing that travel bans would trigger “fear and stigma with little public health benefit.†This kind of open borders message from a globalist institution funded with American taxpayer dollars is what liberal Democrats love.
