World Health Organisation ‘politically virus ridden’

Sky News host Chris Smith says it is time changes were demanded of the "politically virus-ridden" World Health Organisation.

It comes as President Trump has suspended funding to the WHO after he accused the “China-centric” body of “severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus”.

President Trump said the WHO would lose its $400 million US contribution as he launched an investigation into the organisation’s ties to China.

The WHO has also recently faced widespread condemnation for having ignored desperate calls from global leaders to ban China’s deadly and diseased exotic markets that were likely the cause of the killer coronavirus.

"Someone's pulling the strings... and if it's not someone from Beijing, I'm not here," Mr Smith said.
