CNN’s Christiane Amanpour wants you to think of the World Health Organization as the firefighters on 9/11 who rushed into those burning towers to save people:
Defunding @WHO in the middle of a pandemic is like pulling the plug on firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11.

Why would she even go there?
Firefighters were heroes on 9/11. WHO is a tool of the Chinese Communist Party. Just like you. https://t.co/LsPKoZLKRM
