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.

I'm surprised they haven't got his syndicate to deplatform him yet.

I love trolling and catching you dumb fucks. His syndicate should 100% drop him but as with most businesses they will wait until the backlash hurts their bottom line. Doesn't matter what nonsense someone spews unless it gains enough traction to matter.
Scott Adams is a loser of epic proportions, at least he has his money to keep him warm. Kinda knocks a hole in that whole misogynistic "women only want men with money" rant.

Most people realize it is the brain damage, either figuratively or literally. Poor bloke probably had a TIA and doesn't even realize it.
