The World Health Organization is too China-centric…

According to one world leader.

And it’s true, the World Health Organization has been focused on China lately,

Which does make sense since southeast Asia has half the world’s population.

And, China has been at the epicenter of several emerging pandemics,

Including the current outbreak,

Which is still underway,

And if you want to know what to do next,

it can be helpful to learn what has already taken place.

So, it is a bit like saying doctors are currently being too patient-centric,

Or scientists are too vaccine research-centric,

What would be nice is to have a leader more leadership-centric.

And yet, this same world leader suggests that the United States

will look into cutting our funding to the World Health Organization in response…

To the World Health Organization, doing it’s job to protect world health…

In the midst of a global pandemic.

If there were a joke here, this is where I would be delivering the punch line.

But I can’t come up with one.

This isn’t funny.

I can’t even do a proper facepalm because…

We’re not supposed to touch our faces anymore.

So instead, it’s time for another episode of

This Week in Science,

Coming Up Next…

Let’s start with an interview!

Our guest, Vanessa Hill, is an award-winning science educator, This Week in Science
