WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: QUARANTINED FROM AMERICAN FUNDING.

ICHEOKU says how did they get so many things so wrong about the Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus disease? A world public health organization in charge of keeping the world safe and healthy from such infectious disease, but which succeeded in jeopardizing the world's health more with the manner they mishandled the outbreak of the viral disease. As a result of their gross incompetence, negligence and/or willful indifference, thousands of people world wide, who would have ordinarily  stayed alive with earlier intervention and mitigation, buy ended up dying a lonely, painful agonizing death without their family members to bid them their final goodbyes. 

The question to be determined is not necessarily that they let it happen, but why they let it happen. What is the relevance of the World Health Organization if they got all the facts relevant to the coronavirus disease outbreak so wrong. Misinformations everywhere including calling President Donald John Trump's decision to close off the United States of America from China racist and that such action will only succeed in stigmatizing China. Why was the WHO more worried about China's image following the USA ban than seeing the objective intended of trying to contain the disease within China and preventing it from spreading throughout the world. An outbreak which have become a global pandemic with an astronomical cost in human lives as well as catastrophic damage to the economic wellbeing of so many nations. 

If the World Health Organization had gotten only one out of the many questions surrounding the coronavirus disease wrong, may be that will be excusable, because they are humans beings that run the organization, they are not infallible God. But for them to get everything wrong, particularly the four most important information about the disease, which would have helped many nations battle the disease much better is simply idiotic and inexcusable. 

First, they were not aware or feigned ignorance the exact time the Coronavirus broke out. Second, they did not know or failed or rather refused to alert the world that the coronavirus disease was human to human transmissible. Third, they  were against closing off boarders with China, stating that it is not a good way of starving the virus of oxygen. Fourth, they also discouraged the wearing of face masks and social distancing, stating that both measures are not necessarily effective. Yet this is an organization which is in charge of protecting human-beings from contagions such as the rampaging coronavirus disease. 

ICHEOKU says were the World Health Organization a company, the board of directors would have forced the resignation of the CEO or even fired him for failing in his primary duty of carrying out the business purpose for which the company was incorporated. It is even more scandalous bordering on crass incompetence and gross ineptitude that a world organization responsible for maintaining world's public health was this oblivious of the outbreak and management of such a killer contagion, the coronavirus disease, which threatened world health and is still wrecking untoward havoc to human lives and in this 21st century. Such a catastrophic and cataclysmic failure is simply unacceptable. 

It is even more disturbing that the World Health Organization still have their doors open for business following such grave misinformation which led to so many lost lives and loss of economic activities in the world. They should have since been shuttered down, quarantined a long time ago for their gross incompetence and misinformation which caused so much violence on humanity's way of life and still smothering it. So many peoples lives would not have been lost, many countries medical and healthcare facilities would not have been overwhelmed and economies of so many nations would not have become comatose, if only they had done a good job with their assessment of the situation in Wuhan China and alerted the world timely, but they did not. 

ICHEOKU says it is time the sledgehammer descended on the WHO and crush the person or persons who dropped this demolition ball on a world and practically paralyzed the world as a result. An investigation is called for and strongly recommended, that will take a hard  look into the affairs of the World Health Organization with a view to repositioning it to do the job for which they exists better. How did the World Health Organization became so incompetent and inefficient or even compromised that such a life altering coronavirus disease escaped their watchful due diligence. In fact, no excuse on their part as to why the misinformation happened should be acceptable; rather lapses uncovered and information garnered following the investigation should be used to prevent any such future incident from ever occurring again. 

Also anyone at the WHO found to have deliberately withheld or altered information which would have alerted the world about the coronavirus disease should be summarily demised from the organization and possible prosecuted. If China is found to have actively hid the outbreak of the coronavirus from the world and doctored information about its lethality and fast spread, which information would have helped the WHO and the rest of the world get a better grip on the disease, they too should be held accountable as well. 

If China is determined complicit, they should be made to pay a handsome penalty and if they cannot abide by the tenets guiding World Organizations such as the WHO or willfully breached them, they should be treated as not deserving of its membership and either suspended or summarily expelled from it, as being a virus to the world particularly to such World Organizations. Such a measure will serve as a deterrent to China and any other countries going forward. 

ICHEOKU says commends the president's decision to defund the WHO pending investigation into its activities. By wielding the funding big stick against the World Health Organization, President Donald John Trump has taken a good step in the direction of holding them accountable. What is the point pumping money into an organization without auditing its activities, especially when it has showed such a level of decay and decadence, that it cannot carry out its basic function. 

This also leaves ICHEOKU wondering why only America always shoulders the funding of these world organizations for most part, when other countries of relative wealth only spend their own money competing with America in armaments acquisition. Why does Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and France able to fund their defense needs but always coy when it comes to funding such a world organizations as the WHO which benefits them as well. Are they just milking the American cow, seeing Americans as fools for spending their money on their welfare while they are busy building up their respective countries and the weapons to defend it from invasions; and with Russia and Iran, projecting power within their regions. 

Enough of this lopsided arrangement which sees America always carrying nearly all the worlds financial and defense responsibilities by itself. It has to be reordered more equitably and if the World say no to it, America should withdraw entirely from all such world organizations and let every country manage its own peril. 

But whatever happens, the current confrontation of the World Health Organization by America might eventually force out its Ethiopian born Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus from office. He is the first African DG of the WHO, which leaves many people wondering whether Africans are crass incompetent and incapable of running such huge global organizations or such Africans put in charge of them are specifically being targeted by America because of racism. The never ending feud between America and the then United Nations Organization Secretary General late Kofi Annan is another case in point where the United States of America was not comfortable with an African leading a world organization.
