Since the beginning of the pandemic, the WHO has proven that it does not have America’s best interest at heart. Through the disguise of the WHO, millions of taxpayer dollars have bankrolled the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda and have covered up the pandemic’s origins. The WHO is not reformable.
I recently co-sponsored three pieces of legislation to defund and leave the WHO:
First, H.R.79[6], the “WHO Withdrawal Act,” led by Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-5), requires the President of the United States to remove the U.S. from the WHO and prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to fund the organization. This legislation would codify President Trump’s decision in 2020 to leave the WHO, which was reversed by President Biden.
Second, H.R.343[7], the “No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act,” led by Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), would avert any assessed or voluntary contributions from the United States to the WHO.
Finally, S.444[8], the “No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act,” introduced in the House by Rep. Tom Tiffany (WI-7), deems any final agreement on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response to be a treaty. Under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, treaties require the consent of two-thirds of the U.S. Senate. This bill will prevent the Biden Administration from circumventing the Senate and arbitrarily deeming any final treaty an “executive agreement” which does not require Senate approval.
It is a privilege to join these three pieces of legislation to ensure the United States leaves this CCP-puppet agency.
