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.

FTFY
Now, I do think the rabbit hole is deeper than the manicheist division between evil and good (as embodied by trump and the lefties respectively, or vice versa depending on your tastes), but WHO is the organization who issued the guidelines who were followed blindly by governments who killed people instead of saving them from a strange combination of flu/pollution/radiation. They were the ones who say "Cash is dangerous" because of covid, but "packages coming from china" are OK. They advocate whatever removal of freedom to fight an infection but no mention of quarantine for immigrants, who "are at risk of being discriminated" and "need an inclusive policy". With this kind of hypocrisy you need to even ask yourself whom they work for? Trump is acting nationalist and they are acting globalist, the move of Trump is obvious and the counter move, that is, releasing again some corona nasty variant from the labs, is the most likely response. As in any shitty modern wars, your role as a civilian is to be the victim.

I was hoping a reboot might improve things.

Well, now the mystery of what other (than zombie) part you are is solved.
At least partially. (grin)
