CDC Ordered to Immediately Stop Working With WHO, Memo Says (Connecting the Dots: CDC, FDA, WHO, China & Soros Funding, All Networking)
The
decision was made after Trump signed an order indicating the United States
would pull out of the global health agency.

Officials
in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were ordered to
stop working with the World Health Organization (WHO), effective
immediately, according to a memorandum that was sent out this week.
John
Nkengasong, a CDC official, issued a memo on Sunday to senior agency leaders
that staff working with WHO must immediately stop their collaborations and
“await further guidance.”
The
move was made after President Donald Trump signed
an executive order last week to extricate the United States from the WHO over
what it said was the organization’s “mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that
arose out of Wuhan, China,
and other global health crises,” among other issues.
he
stop-work memo issued by Nkengasong applied to “all CDC staff engaging with WHO
through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards,
cooperative agreements or other means—in person or virtual,” while staff are
not allowed to visit WHO offices.
Last
week, the administration placed an immediate pause on all posts, reports, and
communications issued by the CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA),
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other agencies within the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). That pause will remain in effect
until at least Feb. 1, according to an internal memo issued by acting HHS
Secretary Dorothy Fink.
Some
exceptions, Fink said, would be made for communications that impact “critical
health, safety, environmental, financial or nation security functions.” Those
statements would have to be reviewed beforehand, she added.
The
order targeting the CDC isn’t the only Trump action involving the federal
health agency. He also froze spending on an anti-HIV program, which was started
by President George W. Bush decades ago. That was suspended as part of a
broader freeze on foreign aid for at least 90 days.
Under
Trump’s order signaling the United States will leave the WHO, it sets a
12-month notice period to leave the health body and stop all financial
contributions to its work. The order to withdraw from WHO did not take
immediate effect as it requires the approval of Congress and that the United
States will have to meet its financial obligations to WHO for the current
fiscal year.
In
a statement responding to Trump’s decision, WHO said it “regrets the announcement” and that it hopes “the
United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive
dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit
of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.”
Trump
selected Fink, an endocrinologist and career civil servant who had led the HHS
Office on Women’s Health, to serve as interim HHS secretary while Senate
confirmation gets underway for nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the
agency. Kennedy is facing his first hearing before a Senate panel this week.
Trump
has also selected former Florida Republican congressman Dave Weldon, a medical
doctor, to head the CDC and named Johns Hopkins surgeon Marty Makary to lead
the FDA. Those positions require Senate confirmation, too.
The
president last week confirmed that he removed Secret Service protection for Dr.
Anthony Fauci, the former longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases who had served as a presidential advisor during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
When
asked about the decision on Jan. 24 in North Carolina, Trump told reporters,
“You can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked
for government.”

Epoch Times contacted WHO and the CDC for comment Monday.
