The most immediate domestic consequence may be that if the U.S. is not privy to the WHO’s database of changing influenza strains, more Americans could be hospitalized and die from flu infections, says Jha. “Right now 30,000 elderly people at high risk for influenza complications die every year from the flu," he says. "If we are not making vaccines, or our vaccines are not as good or effective, then we are going to see those numbers go up.”

By not being a WHO member, the U.S. would also lose access to the global database of health information that includes surveillance for new and existing infectious diseases, which could make the country more vulnerable to microbial threats from around the world. “It means we are going to see a lot more disease outbreaks become regional and global, and we will see more disease outbreaks from other countries coming into the U.S.,” says Jha

Oh well, we live in an Idiocracy now.
