This actually may end up being a good thing as it'll prevent the US for dictating policy decisions for the rest of the world.
Or kill billions, who knows.
America is the only free country in the world so Oregon can choose just not to die of dysentery
I’m afraid China may dictate it instead and we all know that can’t possibly be an improvement.
Oh boy, I always wanted to live out my childhood experiences in Oregon Trail in real life.
You have died of dysentery.
It's a good thing America has a good health care system then right...right?
America has excellent healthcare. Swipe your credit card here please and we'll get started
It's the paying for it part that we are um still working on.
Just in time for the coming bird flu pandemic.
Yeah that's bad
What good does the WHO do anyway. Just blast your lungs with sunlight and it will cure all!
... or rinse with bleach. Guaranteed to reduce the number of patients.
Wow. I woke up this morning!
Feeling so much better!
I can see why now!
Stupid signed us out of the WHO.
It's all the diseases inside me just partying like crazy. I hope that lasts.
On the flip side, the US health agencies will keep their back channels open to the WHO.
If something particularly nasty crops us they’ll have no choice other than to collaborate

“World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It's not going to happen anymore," Trump said
Everybody rips us off, so I’m going to make sure that only I am able to rip us off.
Also, bruh, you had all sorts of warnings and didn’t do anything until too late - that’s on you.
Mentally ill country should be Physically Ill too.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
