US did drop effect
Some experts warn that a US withdrawal from the WHO could weaken international efforts to fight pandemics. “The US did drop effect and clout in global health, and China would fill the vacuum. I can’t imagine a world without a robust WHO. But US withdrawal would severely weaken the agency,” Gostin added.
