Should America be Leaving the WHO?

In 2018, discussions were held on reforming the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) within the WHO. Suggestions to stay in and reform IARC were made based on concerns regarding activist influences and collaborations with US tort lawyers. The US government intervened in IARC decisions, delaying publications and influencing reports. Despite criticisms of the WHO and its political agenda, leaving the organization may lead to limited influence in global health decisions, especially in combating industry relations. The decision to exit the WHO, made by the US in 2020, may result in diminished influence over global health policies and WHO's strategies, including denormalizing industry relations.
