6. Watch the video under "Resources" below. What initial tweet (right before COVID struck in the U.S.) and then statement six months later by the WHO does Greta van Susteren use to explain why President Trump asserts the WHO ripped off the U.S.?

7. Do you agree or disagree with each of Greta's points? Explain your answers.

a) From 1:30, she states: "Of course it had human-to-human transmission. Why did WHO tweet that? Maybe if the WHO hadn't tweeted that, not carrying the water for China, maybe the U.S. would have reacted faster or differently to Covid."

b) From 2:30, Greta says, "in short, we got a lot of advice from an organization named the World Health Organization which is supposed to help but it was bum advice."

c) Greta tells Rep. McCormick: "Maybe China should pay for the WHO"

7. What is your reaction to Georgia Congressman Dr. Richard McCormick's assertions about the World Health Organization? Are his points valid? Explain your answer. (watch from 2:35 to the end of the video)

8. Ask a parent to read the Presidential Executive Action on withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO - and to watch the video from Greta's segment on Trump's withdrawal from WHO. Then ask: What do you think? Should the U.S. withdraw from the WHO? Please explain your answer.
