Walking away from WHO doesn't create accountability or reform. It gives the U.S. less say and less warning. History shows what cooperation can achieve. Through WHO, the world eradicated smallpox and reduced millions of preventable deaths. Those successes protected Americans too.

Loved this episode of reflection, especially @publichealthpod.bsky.social as a podcast asking and answering questions, with experts from a range of fields who are consider multiple angles and dig into the evidence. Conversations and sources of information like this are more important than ever.
