A draft version of a W.H.O. document recommends that all countries forbid women between the ages of 18 and 50 from drinking alcohol because ... [I Rarely Drink Alcohol]

because they are of childbearing years!!!! Handmaid's Tale, anyone? Who's a Nazi? Who's in charge of Sharia Law?

The W.H.O. has already instructed socialized NHS in the U.K. to recommend that women who have given birth MUST breastfeed for at least 6 months, and apparently women who are unable physically to breastfeed, or who choose not to breastfeed, are now treated almost like criminals by NHS doctors.

Their recommendations are almost mindlessly enforced in many countries around the world, and I wonder if it is time to reign them in, after the debacle in China.

The WHO isn’t the Organization they promote themselves to be.

@soar2newhighs Quite true.
@soar2newhighs so WHO are they really?
@Elevatorpitches Grab a dictionary, look under “corrupt” “manipulated”, “biased”, “weak”, “ineffective”, “liars” to name a few adjectives...and the WHOs picture is there.
@soar2newhighs too broad a sweep. The UN is still a great force for good in the world and it needs to stay alive
@Elevatorpitches I wouldn’t say “Great”. “ Good” will suffice.
@soar2newhighs I said: still a great force for good in the world

I apporove of the UN, I HATE that the USA and often Israel block so many progressive moves esp on the rights of Palestine and the human rights of other countries, for reasons of political expediency.

Cuba needs a break. Much injustice against that country

and the USA hasn't paid their dues for eons
@Elevatorpitches fair enough.
