far-right conspiracy theorists are smearing the World Health Organization

 

The far-right is trying to discredit the World Health Organization (WHO): World health leaders met last week to improve the global COVID-19 pandemic response, save lives, and prepare to better respond to future pandemics Excessively nationalistic responses to the pandemic led to millions of avoidable deaths worldwide. People are still dying due to unequal access to life-saving vaccines So the WHO is working to strengthen coordination among countries and President Biden recently announced the United States is sharing COVID-19 medical technology with the WHO, for global use and manufacture But right-wingers like Tucker Carlson — host of the most-watched cable “news” program in America — are fearmongering to destroy trust in the WHO Send a message to thank President Biden for supporting the World Health Organization and working to end the pandemic in the face of right-wing attacks. Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the WHO during the worst pandemic of our lifetimes. He sent a signal to the global community that America couldn’t be counted on to lead during an international crisis! We’re grateful that President Biden rejoined the World Health Organization and has announced a commitment to share vaccine technology with the WHO to benefit the rest of the world. But the Biden Administration needs to take even bolder action to support the WHO, save lives across the world, and make America a leader against future pandemics. President Biden needs to see that Fox News and the right-wing propaganda machine are failing to sway public opinion. Tell the Biden Administration: Thank you for rejoining the World Health Organization, sharing vaccine technology, and preparing for the next pandemic. Now we must prioritize funding the global COVID-19 response and removing trade rules that impede global vaccine production. Thanks for fighting back against right-wing disinformation, George Public Citizen
