Ginebra. Estados Unidos se reincorporó este jueves a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), garantizando su apoyo y elogiando el papel de su secretario general en la lucha contra la pandemia, un giro de 180 grados respecto de la política del expresidente Donald Trump.

Menos de 24 horas después de su investidura, el nuevo presidente Joe Biden hizo intervenir al inmunólogo Anthony Fauci en una reunión del consejo ejecutivo de la organización, marcando distancias con su predecesor, quien había minimizado reiteradamente la gravedad de la pandemia de covid-19 y renegado de la OMS, calificándola de “marioneta” en manos de China.
