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.

It is logically impossible for there to be more than one global health organization that the most countries acknowledge and cooperate with.

Sure, but a different way doesn't have to mean a different organization. With the US's resource, I can't see why they don't invest in following the money and pointing out all the accusation that WHO is corrupt. If WHO is is inept and truly not corrupt, then rally the Western world allies in replacing the ignorant incumbents.
The real issue here is it is likely corruption with some dose of ignorance, but they don't want to expose it because likely everyone is also guilty of it to some extent - past & present.
