Beside the danger of adding function to an infectious virus, the biggest danger is the complete politicization of the virus. The WHO has changed their tune back and forth, often vehemently with little to back up its position. In that light the US should consider withdrawing completely from this body.

The US just rejoined after Biden reversed Trumps withdrawal.

Here's one article about the Who reversal:

"The scientific community applauded President Joe Biden's decision to rejoin the World Health Organization and other global efforts designed to stop and prevent COVID-19."

HN is reflexive with downvotes. It's not personal.

A response of "Trump did thing, Biden undid thing" after a comment of "US should do thing" can be interpreted as support of Trump and criticism of Biden.

This is not a good thing to be true. Thus, it is downvoted.
