The US representative, Erica Schwartz, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), declared that the Trump administration’s opposition was due to “the inclusion of divisive ideologies that lack definitional consensus” and “references to an unfinished negotiation on pathogen access and benefit sharing in an agreement that failed to achieve international consensus.”
The “divisive ideologies” were the declaration’s references to global solidarity and universal access to sexual and reproductive health care services, which the Trump administration had sought to strip from the text. The “unfinished negotiation” is the fight over who will profit from the vaccines and drugs developed in the next pandemic.

Because they won a war over 80 years ago.

So did a bunch of other countries, and we did it without nuking anyone.
The Soviets won that war
The US will let the world burn over something reasonable.
Lawless plague state.
Pariah nation.
Cool.
