As long as people don't raise these issues with their politicians and make them political issues, the electorate will get the politicians they deserve - populists who spin tales of fear, throw them a bone coming up to the election in the form of tax cuts that are usually ineffective and unfair, take huge amounts of money from special interests and business and vote accordingly so as to gain the cash to bombard voters with half-truths and some blatant lies on TV and social media. Yeah, way to go there, placnx! US election issues are not relevant here. My point about social media is that objections to WHO dysfunctionality can go viral worldwide to the point where it will be difficult for WHO to go on with business as usual. When pathogens escape a country's borders and kill millions worldwide, finally it will no longer be possible for some country to deflect investigations by resort to the "internal affairs" excuse, which is a mockery of modern international norms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
