Abstract

The usefulness of the World Health Organization lies in its ability to bring scientific evidence to bear in political disputes that often lose sight of facts on the ground. The group’s recent history, however, reveals a bureaucracy increasingly unhinged from the real world. In trying to medicalize all spheres of life, the WHO confuses scientific veracity with its own ideological imperatives.
