United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., classified the World Health Organization (WHO) of swollen and dying in a video aired for global health authorities gathered on Tuesday (20) to the agency’s annual assembly in Geneva.
Main Donor of the United Nations Agency (UN), the United States announced the departure of WHO on the first day of the second term of US President Donald Trump, leaving the organization with a huge budget deficit that is trying to resolve through this week’s assembly reforms.
“I ask the world health ministers and WHO to consider our departure from the organization as a warning,” he said in a video recorded by Fox News and then broadcast to the Assembly.
“We have already contacted countries that think the same way and encourage others to consider the possibility of joining us,” he said.
His speech did not provoke any immediate response from the Assembly. Most diplomats and ministers watched the speech in silence.
Trump accused the WHO of dealing badly with Covid and being very close to China – allegations she denies.
Kennedy is an environmental lawyer who for a long time sowed questions about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines that helped contain disease and avoided millions of deaths for decades, and has conflicted with US parliamentarians last week in a protesters shaken audience.
In his comments to WHO, Kennedy called her “bogged down in bureaucratic swelling, rooted paradigms, conflicts of interest and policy of international power.”
“We don’t have to suffer the boundaries of a dying WHO – we will create new institutions or review existing institutions that are lean, efficient, transparent and responsible,” he said.
Kennedy’s comments were broadcast hours after WHO member states adopted an agreement on Tuesday to better prepare for future pandemics.
