Small group of extremists? One third of Americans voted for this, and another third didn't hate the idea of this enough to vote against it.

Since I wasn't clear at all in my first comment: I'm referring to the fact that people can also get away with murder, as long as they're driving a car at the time. Very rarely is it much more than a slap on the wrist, but it's always significantly less than any other form of negligent homicide.

These contributions are so small. I wouldn't mind if my own country increased their contributions to WHO by 20% to make up for this shortfall.

The biggest problem is that the WHO is a worldwide health organization. Without cooperation from the States, there could be huge health impacts elsewhere that could have been otherwise averted. Will other countries also pull out?
