Episode Description from the Publisher

The United States has left the World Health Organization, but infectious disease remains one of the clearest cases for cross-border cooperation. Cato’s Ryan Bourne is joined by Roger Bate of the International Center for Law & Economics to discuss how the WHO suffered from damaging mission creep, why it failed so badly during Covid, and what a narrower, more accountable global health institution might look like. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
