Two Republican senators in the U.S. Congress recently introduced the “World health Organization Accountability Act” (WHO Accountability Act), to the WHO (WHO) to assist China to conceal the new crown Epidemic responsible for the United States to stop financial assistance to the WHO until the WHO leadership change, and the admission of Taiwan as a member state.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, dissatisfied with the WHO’s assistance to China to conceal the 2019 new crown virus epidemic, decided to stop financial assistance to the WHO last April and announced in May that he was withdrawing from the WHO. But new President Joe Biden opposed the U.S. absence in the global fight against the new crown epidemic and signed an executive order on his first day in office to repeal Trump’s decision to withdraw from the WHO.
Although the United States rejoined the WHO, some members of Congress are still committed to pushing for WHO reform. Republican Senators Rick Scott and Josh Hawley introduced the WHO Accountability Act, which would hold WHO accountable for helping China hide information about the outbreak.
The full content of the bill has not yet been released, Scott said through a press release, the World Health Organization Accountability Act requires the United States to suspend the use of taxpayer money to fund the WHO until the WHO changes its leadership and accepts Taiwan as a member.
Scott said the mission of the WHO is to make public health information available to the world so that each country can make the best decisions to protect the safety of its people. But WHO not only failed in its mission, but also let the world down on the spread of the 2019 coronavirus; they were willing to be puppets of the Chinese Communist Party, reciting false information and helping China hide the outbreak.
Scott criticized that last February he urged WHO to conduct an in-depth analysis of the source and scope of the outbreak, but after waiting almost a year for WHO to act, it still could not give an answer to the outside world, and even stopped investigating whether the virus originated from China’s Wuhan laboratory.
The WHO expert panel that went to Wuhan, China, to investigate the origin of the new coronavirus believes that the most likely hypothesis of the new coronavirus is spread through intermediate hosts, the possibility of laboratory leakage of the virus is extremely low, the expert panel will not do further investigation of laboratory leakage.
In response to WHO’s longstanding exclusion of Taiwan, Scott noted that WHO needs to explain why it refuses to allow Taiwan to become a member, participate in meetings and share information, especially during an outbreak. He said, “WHO is complicit in China’s isolation of Taiwan, and there is no reason for U.S. taxpayers to spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year, a higher amount than any other country, to fund WHO without massive reforms.”
