    That would be minimum 15% of their budget wiped out. If we force other US charities (really just 1) to stop, or “convince” them not to we could be talking about a 30% decline in revenue.

      In exchange, the WHO gets to make sane policies about vaccines, women’s health, and sexual identity. Could easily be worth it.

        If you think the US is the only place where people have backwards views towards vaccines, women’s health, or trans rights I have some bad news for you

      That’s roughly a billion / a, nothing other countries couldn’t compensate if necessary. I’d rather have my country foot the bill than RFK Jr. having any influence on the WHO.
