Plugging a US-shaped hole in WHO’s funding

Recently, the US President, Donald Trump, made the decision to pull the US funding from the World Health Organisation. This of course has been widely condemned, and will likely get challenged, but in the meantime it made me wonder what the rest of us could do.

No, I’m not suggesting acts of violence at a “democratically” elected head of state, as tempting to some as that may be.

The US contributed a little under US$900M last year to the WHO. Could we crowd-fund that?

I was thinking about what platform would work best for this, turns out, I don’t need to. The WHO are taking donations directly.

If 40 million of us, world wide, each donate US$25… we will exceed the funding once provided by the U.S.A. Time one president was shown how he’s just another brick in the wall!

We don’t need the U.S.A. to fund the WHO, we just need US. I did my bit… how about you?
