Martha McSally calls on WHO director to resign

Earlier this week, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) called for a congressional probe into the WHO and indicated that perhaps the United States should withhold funding for “helping Communist China cover up” the ramifications of the virus. McSally agreed that „we need to look at addressing the WHO as well.“ She also said U.S. debts to China „should be forgiven, as a minimum.“

Tarik Jašarević, a spokesman for the WHO, did not directly address McSally’s demands. But he said the organization expects members „to report data in a timely and accurate manner.“

„Membership in WHO and signing up to the International Health Regulations both carry with it the responsibility to prioritize public health, nationally and internationally, not only because global health norms say so, but because the two are inextricably linked, as this global pandemic has made clear to the world,“ Jašarević said.
