Just In: Javier Milei Takes Argentina Out of the World Health Organization, Following in the Footsteps of Trump’s America
2025 continues to be the year in which conservatives are implementing their policies in the most decisive ways, leaving their marks and leading the way to a better future.
Take Argentina, for example Libertarian President Javier Milei has been a high-profile Donald J. Trump ally, and today (5), he has proven that he talks the talk and walks the walk too, as he announced leaving the World Health Organization, aligning his policies with those of Trump in the US.
Spokesman Manuel Adorni cited ‘deep differences’ between Milei’s government and the WHO on health policy, including the faulty recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Associated Press reported:
“Milei’s action echoes that of his ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, who began the process of pulling the United States out of WHO with an executive order on his first day back in office on Jan. 21.
Argentina’s decision is based on ‘profound differences in health management, especially during the (COVID19) pandemic’, spokesperson Manuel Adorni said at a news conference in Buenos Aires. He said that WHO guidelines at the time had led to the largest shutdown ‘in the history of mankind’.”
Adorni also said that WHO lacked independence because of the political influence of ‘some countries.’
“Argentina will not allow an international organization to intervene in its sovereignty “and much less in our health,” Adorni added.
WHO is the U.N.’s specialized health agency and 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.”
Here’s the Official Communication by Javier Milei in its entirety (translated from Spanish):
“City of Buenos Aires, February 5, 2025.- 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.”
