Following in the footsteps of President Donald Trump’s America, Argentina has just announced that the country has withdrawn from the United Nations’ (UN) World Health Organization (WHO).
On Wednesday, Argentina’s Libertarian President Javier Milei revealed that he’s aligning his policies with those of Trump as he announced his nation is leaving the globalist WHO.
In a statement, Milei’s spokesman Manuel Adorni cited “deep differences” with the WHO on health policy.
Adorni specifically the WHO’s damaging “public health” recommendations during the Covid pandemic.
Associated Press (AP) reported that Milei’s action “echoes” that of his ally Trump.
Trump began the process of pulling the United States out of the WHO with an executive order on his first day back in office on January 21.
Argentina’s decision is based on “profound differences in health management, especially during the (COVID-19) pandemic,” Adorni expalined a news conference in Buenos Aires.
He said that WHO guidelines at the time, such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates, had led to the largest shutdown “in the history of mankind.”
Adorni also said that WHO lacked independence because of its ties to Communist China.
He blasted the political influence that “some countries” have over the WHO.
President Milei has also taken issue with the WHO’s push for nations to sign on to its “Pandemic Treaty.”
The treaty gives sweeping powers to the WHO that override the constitutional laws of sovereign nations.
Under the treaty, the WHO can declare an “emergency” to tackle a pandemic or “climate change” and then order mass lockdowns, censorship, and vaccine mandates for citizens around the world.
“Argentina will not allow an international organization to intervene in its sovereignty and much less in our health,” Adorni added.
The WHO is “the only organization mandated to coordinate global responses to acute health crises, particularly outbreaks of new diseases and persistent threats including Ebola, AIDS, and mpox,” the AP notes.
Milei’s office released an Official Communication on Wednesday to announce the move, stating (translated from Spanish):
“The Office of the President informs that President Javier Milei has made the decision to withdraw the Argentine Republic from the World Health Organization (WHO).
“The WHO was created in 1948 to coordinate the response to global health emergencies, but failed its greatest litmus test: it promoted eternal quarantines without scientific support when it was time to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Quarantines caused one of the greatest economic catastrophes in world history and, according to the Rome Statute of 1998, the quarantine model could be classified as a crime against humanity.
“In our country, the WHO backed a government that left children out of school, hundreds of thousands of workers without income, led businesses and SMEs to bankruptcy and still cost us 130,000 lives.
“Today the evidence indicates that the WHO’s prescriptions do not work because they are the result of political influence, not based on science.
“It has also confirmed its inflexibility to change its approach and, far from admitting mistakes, it chooses to continue assuming powers that do not correspond to it and limiting the sovereignty of countries.
“It is urgent for the international community to rethink why there are supranational organizations, financed by all, that do not meet the objectives for which they were created, are dedicated to international politics, and seek to impose themselves over the member countries.”
