Anthony Fauci led a delegation to refresh the U.S.’s partnership with the WHO.

A recent investigation found the local and national Chinese authorities could have done more to halt the initial spread of COVID-19 from Wuhan.

In one of his first assignments as part of the Biden administration, Anthony Fauci took part in a videoconference on Thursday with the World Health Organization (WHO), praising the agency’s actions early in the COVID-19 pandemic and stating the U.S. will rejoin the global health group — a significant shift in the U.S. government’s attitude toward the global health body.

The Washington Post reports that one of President Biden’s first acts in office was to send envoys to begin working with the WHO as it works to distribute burgeoning COVID-19 vaccines to countries in an equitable fashion.

Fauci, now Biden’s chief medical advisor, led a delegation of U.S. officials to assure WHO executives of the U.S.’s commitment to helping finance vaccine distribution efforts.

“I join my fellow representatives in thanking the World Health Organization for its role in leading the global response to this pandemic,” he reportedly said during the virtual meeting. “Under trying circumstances, this organization has rallied the scientific and research community to accelerate vaccines, therapies and diagnostics.”

1. Breaking with who?

There's a start of a Abbott / Costello routine here but Trump isn't worth the effort. Forget em.

2. Trump is no longer in power, it's definitely time to start ending this nightmare!

The US needs to rejoin the WHO, and restore the CDC to being a non-partisan organization! If we are to nip this pandemic in the bud, we must start there.
