As President Biden calls off the U.S. withdrawal from the World health Organization (WHO), U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (D-CA) and Representative Elise Stefanik (D-CA) are calling for an international investigation into the origins of the Chinese Communist virus (coronavirus) and the role the Chinese Communist Party played in it.
Hawley introduced a resolution in the Senate back in March of last year urging an international investigation into the Chinese Communist government’s handling of COVID-19, a pneumonia disease caused by a Chinese Communist virus, and the impact of that handling on people in the United States and other countries.
The resolution, also introduced in the House, urges the international community to quantify the harm caused by the Communist regime’s handling of the outbreak and to “devise a mechanism” for the Communist Party to provide compensation to countries affected by the outbreak.
“It has been one year since the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the United States, and China (the Chinese Communist Party) continues to obstruct any credible investigation into the origins of this deadly Epidemic. The World Health Organization, which President Biden praised, is, to put it nicely, incompetent and, to put it badly, a minion of the Chinese Communist Party.” Hawley said in a statement on Friday (22).
“We must redouble our efforts to figure out how the Chinese Communist Party’s negligence triggered this global pandemic and hold them accountable.”
While the WHO is conducting its own investigation, the Trump administration and Republicans had expressed skepticism about its investigation and the WHO itself.
The Trump Administration sent formal notice of its withdrawal from the WHO to the United Nations last July, and the withdrawal took effect in July of this year. Trump condemned WHO for helping the Chinese Communist Party hide the epidemic, despite the fact that the United States is the largest donor to WHO, giving it about $450 million a year, but WHO has become a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party. And the Chinese Communist Party only pays the WHO about $50 million a year.
Immediately after taking office, Biden called off the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO and reminded U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the U.S. would remain a member of the WHO.
WHO scientists arrived in China last week to investigate the origin of the virus, but there are concerns that the investigation will be hampered by the Chinese Communist Party, which has spent months negotiating the terms of the investigation with the WHO.
Hawley and Stefanik took note of the comments of the scientists on the WHO mission. They said the investigation “is not designed to find China (the Chinese Communist Party) guilty.
The two lawmakers said Biden should move forward and ask the international community to conduct a new investigation. Stefanik said Biden has the right to demand answers from the WHO as to why the organization promoted the Chinese Communist Party’s disinformation campaign about the pandemic.
“Instead, President Biden made the illogical decision to rejoin the WHO without bothering to demand key reforms (from the WHO).” Stefanik said, “President Biden must stand up for the American people and hold them accountable when U.S. interests are ignored at global organizations like the taxpayer-funded WHO.”
