I read John R. Puri’s post urging the U.S. to rejoin the World Health Organization because, 1) it is merely an advisory body and 2), it collects valuable health data. But Puri underplayed the overarching influence WHO exercised on national governments and corporations in enforcing the disastrous Covid-19 policies that caused so much harm, while he also ignored the internationalists’ plan to transform WHO into an organization with actual power to impose policies.
