WHO’s Pandemic Treaty Is A Gift To China And A Globalist Nightmare For Everyone Else
It is unacceptable for the United States to participate in treaties that would undermine its sovereignty or allow it to take action in times of crisis. The Biden administration has reached a new deal with the World Health Organization to accomplish exactly that.
A statement was released by the World Health Organization on Feb. 1. “zero draft” The “WHO CA+” Treaty” is a proposal agreement that the United States and other WHO member countries are currently considering. It aims to strengthen the International Organization’s ability and influence when dealing with pandemics in the future. Although the draft treaty has not yet been approved, doesn’t give The WHO has direct jurisdiction over national pandemic policy. It contains many harmful provisions which would force nations to embrace a globalist, authoritarian mindset in dealing with future diseases.
The agreement was not considered by the Biden administration, and the Senate Republicans led by Ron Johnson (Wisconsin) have responded. introduced No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Aproval Act. This would require that “any convention or agreement” The WHO’s Intergovernmental Negotiating Body beamed the following: “deemed a treaty” Approval from the U.S. Senate is required for all such proposals.
“The WHO, along with our federal health agencies, failed miserably in their response to Covid-19. This failure should not be rewarded with a new international treaty that would increase the WHO’s power at the expense of American sovereignty,” Johnson spoke.
It comes amid worries that President Joe Biden may try to avoid the bill traditional Senate-approval process for the United States to be bound to the WHO treaty. This was evident under President Barack Obama. He entered the U.S. into international accords, such as The Paris Climate Accord And the Iran nuclear dealWithout lawful Senate approval.
Obsession with equity
One of the worst aspects of the treaty proposal is WHO’s obsessiveness with the so-called “equity.” A core tenet of modern Marxism, equity is a euphemism leftists regularly employ to dismiss merit and effective policies in favor of discrimination based on skin color and other immutable characteristics.
In the 10 first pages of the document, WHO insists on signatories agreeing to the following: “equity” Should be “a principle, an indicator and an outcome of pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.” According to WHO, equity is also considered a core value. “guiding principle” And a “right.”
WHO doesn’t just obsess over equity. According to The Heritage FoundationIn its current form, the WHO CA+ would vastly expand the authority of this international body. “declare a pandemic and, thereby, trigger provisions in the treaty that would reallocate resources and encourage governments to waive intellectual property rights.”
The WHO proposal is the most important of these provisions. “real-time access” Up to 20 Percent of All “pandemic-related products” Participating nations produce this document to aid in so-called “equitable distribution” To be primarily “developing countries.” It would cover products like vaccines, therapies, and personal protection equipment. The proposed agreement states that half the 20% would go to the WHO to be donated, and the rest would be sold. “at affordable prices.”
War Against Free Speech
The WHO CA+ will not only promote equity but also pressure its member countries to join the ongoing war against free speech. Art. 17 proposed agreementThe WHO states that countries participating in the WHO’s program must address so-called “false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation.”
This international body encourages members to cooperate in order to accomplish their goals. “conduct regular social listening and analysis to identify the prevalence and profiles” Of supposed “misinformation.” The data gleaned from these analyses would be used by national governments. “design communications and messaging strategies for the public” You can find more information here “counteract” so-called “disinformation and false news.”
This proposal is very similar to the actions taken by federal bureaucrats later on in the Biden administration. They attempted, during the Covid pandemic and thereafter, to silence intellectuals, doctors and other public figures who challenged the administration’s policies. false narratives Efficacy of therapeutics, lockdowns and masks. An ongoing attorneys general investigationThe administration found it necessary to collude with Big Tech for the suppression of Covid-related posts. “misinformation.”
Red China: A handout
However, the WHO draft treaty doesn’t just encourage neomarxist ideology. Not to punish China’s communist government stonewalling The WHO CA+, despite all efforts to discover the source of Covid’s origins would accomplish the opposite.
The document, as it stands now, endorses the notion of “common but differentiated responsibilities,” among member states, meaning “developed” Pandemics would cost the most money if the United States, and other major European nations were to pay the bulk of the costs. “developing” countries. These are the countries. Heritage noted, China, despite “having the second-largest economy in the world,” It is considered to be a developing country according to the United Nations. The United Nations would like it capitalize on the framework.
Recognized as a developing country “means that China will likely be a beneficiary of WHO CA+ obligations for parties to, among other provisions, incentivize transfer of technology and know-how to developing countries, support waiving intellectual property rights to grant the use of intellectual property and other ‘protected substances, products, technology, know-how, information and knowledge’ to developing countries,” This is the Heritage Report. “Beijing already engages in theft of intellectual property on health technology. This agreement will provide legal cover, especially if it can be linked to pandemic preparedness.”
Given China’s role as a puppet of the WHO in the Covid crisis, these perks shouldn’t be surprising. For example, on Jan. 14, 2020 the WHO published a tweet False claims that the Chinese government made about there being a problem were repeated by them. “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission” Covid.
During Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director General,’s trip to China in May 2013, the organization continued to be open to Beijing’s word. Following the visit, WHO published a statement Tedros openly thanked the Chinese government for its supposed leadership and then risibly thanked them for it. “transparency they have demonstrated” In determining the root cause of the viral epidemic.
