Dude can’t think of one thing by himself. Now he again copied Trump:

Echoing Trump, Milei pulls Argentina out of World Health Organization

***Argentina will pull out of the World Health Organization, Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni confirms, following in the footsteps of the United States. ***

President Javier Milei has decided to formally withdraw Argentina from the World Health Organization, the government confirmed Wednesday. Presidential Spokesperson Manmuel Adorni confirmed the decision, which echoes last month’s announcement by US President Donald Trump that the United States would pull out from the UN agency.

“President [Javier] Milei instructed Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein to withdraw Argentina’s participation in the World Health Organisation. This is based on the profound differences with regard to health management, especially during the [Covid-19] pandemic,” said the spokesman. “We Argentines are not going to allow an international organisation to intervene in our sovereignty, much less in our health,” he stressed at a press conference.

Gotta love that fake ass nationalism. I wish they had the same attitude towards the US, the EU and the IMF but no, these institutions can come in and take whatever the fuck they want.

Adorni claimed that the WHO, along with Milei’s successor in office Alberto Fernández, led Argentina into “the longest lockdown in the history of humanity,” referencing the nation’s strict Covid-19 lockdown between 2020 and 2021. The WHO had “failed its greatest litmus test” by promoting “eternal quarantines without scientific support” during the pandemic, he alleged.

Was the COVID pandemic mishandled in Argentina? Yeah, probably. The government’s role wasn’t as terrible they claim it was, it’s not like people were being executed for going out or something. The lockdowns were indeed long (but not the “longest in history” omg) but at the same time COVID killed a lot of people. What destroyed the government’s legitimacy and every effort was a number of photos and videos leaked of the President and his family hosting a party in the middle of the lockdown and the government handing out vaccines to VIP subjects for free before everyone else (something that happens everywhere but never goes public).

‘Nefarious’

Milei issued a statement a few hours after the announcement, denouncing the WHO as “nefarious” and claiming it had played the role of the “executive arm” of the “biggest experiment of social control in history.” Denouncing its authorities as “ideologues,” Argentina’s leader said its “quarantine” policies during the Covid-19 pandemic led it to be part of “one of the most outlandish crimes against humanity in history.”

Literal Alex Jones moment.

Milei’s top spokesperson claimed the withdrawal would “give the country greater flexibility to implement policies adapted to the context of interests that Argentina requires, as well as greater availability of resources and reaffirms our path towards a country with sovereignty in health matters.” Adorni added: “It should be clarified that Argentina does not receive funding from the WHO for health management, therefore this measure – unlike some have said at least on social networks – does not represent a loss of funds for the country nor does it affect the quality of services.”

Unnamed government officials, cited by the La Nación daily said that the decision would save around US$10 million a year. According to WHO documents hosted on its website, an assessment of Argentina’s funding capabilities for 2024-2025 proposed the nation contribute 0.71 percent of the organisation’s overall budget, an estimated US$50 million. It is unclear how much of that is returned to Argentina via programmes and policies.

A lot of it returns to Argentina actually. Argentina has access to the OMS’ common fund to purchase medicine and vaccines to combat diseases like HIV/AIDS, Chagas, Dengue and so many others, we need that shit. Now they’re out of reach…

Following in Trump’s footsteps

Milei’s decision is in line with the recent executive order signed by Trump ordering the United States to depart the WHO. The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest donor and its withdrawal will leave a major hole in the organisation’s budget and its ability to respond to global public health threats.

In its last complete budget cycle, for 2022-23, the United States pitched in US$1.3 billion, representing 16.3 percent of the WHO’s US$7.89 billion budget. Most of the US funding was via voluntary contributions.

The World Health Organization last week urged the United States to reconsider a decision to suspend funding for HIV treatment programmes in developing countries, after Trump ordered an almost-complete freeze on foreign aid.

“We call on the government of the United States of America to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care,” the UN health body said on X, adding that it had “deep concern” over the funding pause. With regards to HIV, the agency said that its programmes provided access to "life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide.”

We are being governed by people who want to kill, murder and exploit to no end and by washed up versions of the former.

Death to “america” and death to “israel”.
