The World Health Organisation is facing a $706 million shortfall in contributions after the US withdrawal initiated by President Donald Trump.
Maria van Kerkhove has started an online fundraiser asking for donations from the public that has raised around $23,000, only 0.002% of the needed amount.
Van Kerkhove is an American infectious disease epidemiologist who serves as WHO’s Acting Director of the Department of Epidemic and Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness in the Health Emergencies Programme. She was also the Covid-19 Technical Lead and has served as WHO’s global Incident Manager for mpox (formerly known as monkeypox).

WHO Begs For Money Online After Trump Announces Withdrawal
By Emily Knopp as published by Daily Caller News Foundation on 24 January 2024
Just days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) due to concerns about China’s outsize role, a top leader at the global organisation has begun fundraising on social media.
Maria Van Kerkhove, the infectious disease epidemiologist who served as the WHO’s technical lead on the covid-19 pandemic, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday morning asking for donations to the WHO Foundation.
As of Friday afternoon, only around $23,000 had been raised toward a $1 billion goal. [As of yesterday evening, that had risen to $52,787.91.]
It’s a meagre fraction of the $706 million shortfall in contributions anticipated from the US for the 2024-2025 two-year budget period – 18 per cent of the organisation’s revenue.
Trump’s executive order – signed just hours after his inauguration – initiates a year-long notification period specified in the joint resolution adopted by Congress in 1948 establishing US membership in the WHO.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told staff on Thursday that the organisation would implement “cost reductions and efficiencies,” including a freeze on new hires “except in the most critical areas” and a stop to capital investments, according to news reports.
Programmes most reliant on US voluntary contributions include those addressing HIV, AIDS and other STIs (75% of global voluntary contributions) and tuberculosis (61% of global voluntary contributions), according to a PowerPoint provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The executive order also recalls American WHO staff and contractors.
The US is required to meet its financial obligations to the WHO for the fiscal year before withdrawal, according to international conventions. The Congressional Research Service found that it is unclear how the WHO can credibly enforce mandated payments, though under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, a nation must pay its remaining financial obligations before withdrawing from a treaty.
The new executive order states that US withdrawal was motivated by “unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries’ assessed payments” – namely China’s.
WHO receives assessed (mandatory) contributions from member states that are scaled by population and GDP, as well as voluntary contributions from both private organisations and member states. Currently, the US and China pay comparable amounts in assessed contributions – China is due to pay $181 million in assessed contributions for the years 2024 and 2025, while the US was set to pay $264 million. But in voluntary contributions, China hardly donates anything: It is expected to pay just $2.5 million in 2024 and 2025. Before the executive order, the US was expected to make voluntary contributions totalling $442 million.
The WHO was expecting the US to pay its 2024 assessed contribution this month totalling $130 million, but to date has not received it.
China is the world’s second-largest economy yet remains formally classified as a developing country by the United Nations. Still, China’s assessed payments to the WHO have grown in recent years as its economy has grown, up from the $53 million China contributed over a two-year budget period a decade ago.
The executive order also spotlights the WHO’s deference to Beijing authorities as it attempted to access tightly controlled hospitals and laboratories in Wuhan during the covid-19 pandemic.
“The United States noticed its withdrawal from the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2020 due to the organisation’s mishandling of the covid-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China … and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states,” the order states.
The WHO’s first mission to Wuhan in February 2020 praised China’s lockdowns as “perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history,” a statement amplified as an endorsement of the Chinese Communist Party in Chinese propaganda. A second mission to Wuhan in January and February 2021 to uncover the pandemic’s origins resulted in a report and press conference that dismissed the hypothesis that the pandemic resulted from a laboratory accident as “extremely unlikely,” reportedly because it was the only way in which WHO lead investigator, Peter Ben Embarek, could include that possibility in the mission’s conclusions.
The WHO has never received the full data necessary to assess the pandemic’s origins.
“WHO has repeatedly asked China to share all available information on the earliest cases, animals sold in Wuhan markets, labs working with coronaviruses, and more, but to date it has not received this information,” Van Kerkhove wrote in Science on 16 January.
Even still, van Kerkhove emphasised that “it is imperative for countries … not to assign blame.”
Van Kerkhove’s confirmation that the early case data is incomplete challenges a claim made by Western virologists in 2022 – also published in the pages of Science – that this early case data, provided by Beijing authorities to the WHO, radiate from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market like a bullseye, establishing it unambiguously as the pandemic’s origin.
Some public health experts have warned that removing the US from the WHO could curtail access to important data about emerging outbreaks.
Earlier this month, WHO informed its member states of a suspected outbreak of Marburg virus in the United Republic of Tanzania.

Who are the idiots who have donated £/$23000 to the world hoax org??
“Covidiots!”
Bloomberg. Check out his C40.org.
I’m sure Bill Gates could donate a billion to makeup the shortfall.
Wondering if they already asked and got a no hence the gaslighting public donation request!
Nah it will be Bloomberg again like he did last time the FED GOV pretended to be done with the UN. He paid the bills cuz he was made wealthy enough to carry that load while the FAKE OPTICS are in play.
Note – “The US is required to meet its financial obligations to the WHO for the fiscal year before withdrawal” – so it hasn’t happened yet. Will it ever happen?
Lawyers might get the withdrawal declared illegal.
That’s the way the Devil works!
Islander, you might be interested in this video that Anderson posted – “The Truth of Trump – Stupid, Evil? THE Antichrist? ”
https://rumble.com/v5zs3r2-the-truth-of-trump-stupid-evil-the-antichrist.html
Jump to about 5 mins – about the Satanic church of Rome and the horrors done to Christians.
After that it relates everything to the Bible.
Who would donate to this POS satanic organisation?
Public donating to WHO is more than a bit Stockholm Syndrome!
Hope USA actually don’t pay the $130M that is ‘due’.
I think it’s something like that! How many of them went to normal schools, mixed with everyday people, had ‘real’ jobs, struggled with bills, had the average pub experience, and so on. And some of them are socialised psychopaths, narcissists, are overly left brain dominated, live in a science/lab/computer model/theoretical bubble. The fact that they are on a different Universe from us will hopefully be their downfall because…chaos theory!
Instead of giving it to the WHO, Trump will instead give the money to Gates and Ellison, making sure that absolutely zero of it will be put to good use.
Even if the WHO is a Deep State organisation, not all of its money goes to vaccination programs. A large portion of its budget still goes to basic health care, education, clean water etc.
Trump is much more blatantly and openly satanic, he doesn’t need to pretend to be caritative and empathic.
He will stop each and every payment that benefits the poor and use the money to develop AI and MRNA vaccines and transform the world into a dystopian nightmare, governed by his billionaire friends.
Everybody who has supported him in the hope for freedom, has been devastatingly and thoroughly fooled.
The “awakened” might want to start considering if they in reality are not the sheep.
Correct, Trump serves Israel , his masters. His family and associates are all Jewish. Trump isn’t Christian. Many have been fooled by this clown. Trump towers is 666 feet tall including the spire at the top, not a coincidence.
Hi Anderson, my plans for today have been changed by the weather so I am just about to watch the video you posted on the Milei article.
Here is a blog in The Times Of Israel –
“Donald Trump, America’s first Jewish president ”
https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/donald-trump-americas-first-jewish-president/
Jared Kushner owns 666 Fifth Avenue, where a couple of interesting companies are located, eg. one dealing with the development of quantum dot tattoos with luciferase.
Trump has repeatedly displayed the inverted pyramide symbol, and at his inauguration, his son Eric showed the same symbol.
What on earth is truly Jewish about either of these two jerks? They are simply war and power mongering profiteers.
It’s high time to simply give Tedros and that mob of his the finger and start looking into their involvement in the crimes against humanity involving that virus and the shots. I will break out the popcorn when that starts happening🍿.
I wonder how many know that these NGO vermin had in 2022 via small committee vote deemed themselves overlords over anything remotely considered health. It quietly faded away for retooling just 2 weeks before implementation in late June 24. 🤨. Funny how the media simply missed ll this isn’t it🫵🏻
Don’t worry, Bloomberg and his charities already promised to pay the bills while the fed gov pretends to be done with the UN.
Grieving so much for Maria and her fellow criminals, not. Better go see your wealthy partners in crime like little Billy Gates and Georgie Soros. Regular folks are getting damned sick and tired of your grift, your theft of our resources and forcing us to pay for our demise (digging our own graves). We will take care of our own immune systems which you and others like you tried and in some cases actually did destroy under the guise of Covid. If there is ever justice in this world, everyone of you will be hanging rotten from a gibbet in the public square. There will need to be multiple hangings and gibbets all over the world and I hope I live to see it.
Don’t donate to this WHO body as the Vaxx has caused masses of deaths and injuries due to the nano particles which causes the so-called VAXX to pass through the Blood Brain Barrier and enter into the Blood Stream and cause masses of dangerous issues in the body of those who have taken the Vaxx. There was no ADHD, AUTISM, OR DYSLEXIA TILL AROUND 1963 when inoculations were given to babies and toddlers! Up to that time children were Immune even from TB as in my family’s case where our Immune System kicked in and the TB Virus only left calcified spots! Now we have masses of children and adults with mental issues! God provided us all with an Immune System which Man and their injections have damaged!
