The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, practically begged the United States to rejoin the UN-run agency after President Trump made good on his vow to pull the plug on U.S. participation on his very first day back in office.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to formally withdraw the United States from the WHO, citing its failure to hold China accountable and its role in pushing radical globalist health agendas that undermine American sovereignty.
Trump’s executive order halted all U.S. funding to the WHO, redirecting those resources to domestic health initiatives that prioritize American interests and values.
WHO has long pointed to its mishandling of global health crises, its cozy relationship with China, and its dangerous push for vaccine mandates and digital health passports.
Recall that the Biden regime publicly affirmed their commitment to a “legally-binding” accord back in 2023, which will give the World Health Organization (WHO) control over U.S. pandemic policies, though work remains in certain areas.
Once a health emergency is declared every signatory, including the United States, must submit to the authority of the WHO. This includes caving to them on treatments, lockdowns and vaccine mandates along with government surveillance.
At a press conference in Geneva on Thursday, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus pleaded for the U.S. to rejoin the agency, desperately insisting that it was in America’s “best interest” to remain.
But for millions of Americans who watched the WHO bungle the COVID-19 pandemic, peddle Chinese propaganda, and push draconian mandates, Trump’s bold move was long overdue.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus:
I hope there will be some formal engagement for a very honest and candid dialogue for the U.S. to come back to the World Health Organization. I’ve said it many times: the U.S. withdrawal from WHO is a lose-lose.It’s in the best interest of the U.S. to stay in WHO. It’s a matter of health security — one that keeps the U.S. safe, and the rest of the world safe, by being part of the WHO
It also has many other benefits for the U.S. to remain within the WHO family. All the investments it has made are in its own best interest. That’s what we believe, and I hope they will reconsider and rejoin the WHO family.
But critics argue the only thing the WHO has kept safe is the Chinese Communist Party’s reputation.
During the COVID crisis, the WHO repeatedly misled the world: from claiming there was no human-to-human transmission, to flip-flopping on mask guidance, to praising China’s “transparency” while whistleblowers in Wuhan vanished.
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early March 2020, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that “Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died.” Tedros added, “In comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.”
The Gateway Pundit immediately debunked this inaccurate fatality rate of COVID-19, which led to global panic.
This 3.4% figure was derived by dividing the number of reported deaths by the number of confirmed cases globally.
However, early in the pandemic, testing was limited and primarily focused on severe cases, leading to an undercount of mild or asymptomatic infections. As a result, the CFR was likely an overestimate of the actual mortality risk.
A comprehensive meta-analysis by John Ioannidis, published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization, analyzed seroprevalence data from 51 locations worldwide. Ioannidis argued that the fatality rate could be as low as 0.1%–0.2%, especially in areas with wide undercounting of mild/asymptomatic cases.
Another systematic review and meta-analysis published in Nature estimated a global IFR of 0.68% (95% confidence interval: 0.53%–0.82%) during the first wave of the pandemic.
Also, in early 2021, a joint team from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Chinese experts conducted an investigation in Wuhan to determine the origins of COVID-19. After visiting various sites, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the team concluded that a laboratory origin of the virus was “extremely unlikely.”
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reported in January 2025 that a lab-related origin was “more likely” than a natural one.
