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.

  My dear AC, doctors may be able to help with your big brained [oup.com] opinions.

  • Did Event 201 attendees talk about controlling the narrative? [youtube.com] (8 minute mark)
  • Are YouTube removing scientific opinion and experiments that contradict the WHO "narrative"?
  • Are you a twat?

  If you answered no to any of the above, seek medical help immediately.
