USA Today reports Trump has Officially Begun to Withdraw the US From the World Health Organization as Pandemic Spikes:
The Trump administration has officially begun to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grip the globe and infections spike in many states across the U.S.
Congress received formal notification of the decision on Tuesday, more than a month after President Donald Trump announced his intention to end the U.S. relationship with the WHO and blasted the multilateral institution as a tool of China. The White House said the withdrawal would take effect on July 6, 2021.
[...] The formal withdrawal comes as the United States nears 3 million reported coronavirus cases and more than 130,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Globally, there have been 11.6 million cases and almost 540,000 deaths.

Have enough countries funding it and involved in managing it that no single country has the ability to control it. Which is exactly what has happened.
And the reason the US is trying to withdraw from it has everything to do with the fact that the WHO has so far refused to just do the bidding of the US even though the US is certainly one of its major funding sources as well as a source of significant numbers of management and personnel, which from my point of view suggests that the plan worked.
