MADISON, Wis. — In response to Governor Tony Evers announcing Wisconsin will join the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Response Network, Tom Tiffany said he would “immediately remove” Wisconsin from the WHO if elected governor and cited a COVID-19 conspiracy theory, saying “the WHO acted as a puppet for Communist China” during the global pandemic. This comes as Dane County confirms its second measles case after an outbreak last week.
Tiffany has long promoted debunked and dangerous conspiracies, has praised RFK Jr. for his nomination to Health and Human Services Secretary and decried the pandemic ending COVID vaccine as a “cruel enforcement of Biden’s vaccine mandate.”
“Even with measles making a resurgence right here in Wisconsin, Tom Tiffany is still spreading conspiracy theories that could worsen this measles outbreak and cause other public health crises,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Emily Stuckey. “Tom Tiffany is an unapologetic danger to the health of Wisconsinites.”
