Two U.S. senators introduced a bill Tuesday (Feb. 9) that would hold the World health Organization responsible for helping Communist China cover up information about the New crown outbreak. The bill also proposes to suspend funding to the WHO until its leadership is changed and Taiwan is accepted as a member.
The World Health Organization Accountability Act is co-sponsored by Republican U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). The bill also limits annual U.S. funding to WHO to no more than its largest contributors.
In a statement, Sen. Scott said the WHO has failed not only its own mission but also the world when it comes to the new crown outbreak. He also accused the WHO of being a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party, “parroting (parroting) and repeating misinformation” to help China cover up the truth.
Scott said the WHO needs to respond to the refusal to allow Taiwan to become a member, participate in meetings and share information, especially during the outbreak. They (WHO) are complicit in Communist China’s isolation of Taiwan,” he said. There is no reason for U.S. taxpayers to spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year, more than any other country, to fund the WHO without significant reform.”
Scott also said the bill proposes to hold off on funding the WHO “until they start to really care about public health and stop acting as a puppet of Communist China and allow Taiwan to be a part of it.”
For his part, Senator Josh Hawley (D-CA) said in a statement, “The WHO has repeatedly put advancing the interests of Communist China above building a healthier world. WHO leaders like Tandusse must be held accountable for this malfeasance, and WHO must be overhauled to once again benefit from American taxpayer dollars.”
The new crown Epidemic is still raging around the world, with more than 100 million cumulative confirmed cases and more than 2.3 million deaths worldwide. Since the outbreak, the World Health Organization has come under fire from many quarters, with critics accusing it of colluding with the Chinese government to conceal the outbreak in its early stages.
Senator Scott called last year for a congressional investigation into the WHO’s role in helping Beijing hide key information about the threat of the new coronavirus in the early days of the U.S. outbreak. He also tweeted, “Communist China hid this from the world, misrepresented their numbers, and silenced those who tried to sound the alarm. This virus originated in China and they allowed the outbreak to spread further than it already had.”
Last April, the U.S. Congress also formally launched an investigation to pursue the origins of the new coronavirus and exactly what role the World Health Organization played in helping China hide the information.
The June investigation report noted that the Chinese government had failed to comply by informing the WHO on Time of what they had learned about the outbreak, and that the WHO had failed to verify unofficial reports from Taiwan and outside experts about the Sars-like outbreak in Wuhan. The report also found that both the CCP and the WHO, which has applied the CCP’s propaganda, have failed to fulfill their obligations and responsibilities under the International Health Regulations.
Just a day earlier, a WHO expert panel that traveled to Wuhan, China, to conduct a retrospective investigation of the new crown held a press conference to release some details of the investigation. The White House said it would review the information in the WHO report after receiving it, but wanted to review the information itself, so it was “imperative” that a team of U.S. experts go to China to investigate on the ground.
