GOP Senators Make Last Ditch Effort to Save America From WHO Pandemic Treaty

U.S. Senate Republicans unanimously agree that the World Health Organization’s (WHO) attempt to establish totalitarian control over global health must be stopped.

Led by Rep. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., GOP senators on May 1 sent a letter to the Biden Administration urging it to reject two international agreements on the table at this month’s World Health Assembly that would grossly expand the WHO’s authority and weaken United States sovereignty.

The World Health Assembly is the WHO’s decision-making body that meets yearly to determine the goals and policies of the 194 member states. Its next meeting is scheduled from May 27 to June 1, during which the issue of the pandemic accord will be discussed; however, countries are expected to finalize negotiations by May 10.

According to the letter, the more than 300 proposals for amendments made by member states would substantially increase the WHO’s health emergency powers and constitute intolerable infringements upon U.S. sovereignty.

The most recent draft of the treaty mandates resource and technology transfers, shreds intellectual property rights, allows the WHO to infringe upon free speech, and supercharges an organization that miserably failed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We strongly urge you not to join any pandemic-related treaty, convention, or agreement being considered at the seventy-seventh WHA [World Health Assembly],” the letter, signed by all 49 Republican senators, states.

The senators warned “in the strongest possible terms” that they consider any such agreement to be a treaty requiring the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate under Article II Section 2 of the Constitution and suggested that instead, the Biden Administration address the WHO’s persistent failures and focus on comprehensive WHO reforms.

Meanwhile, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has urged countries to agree to the legally binding “generational commitment” to “help fight future pandemics” as the deadline nears.

"Give the people of the world, the people of your countries, the people you represent, a safer future," Ghebreyesus said at a Geneva meeting.

"So I have one simple request: please, get this done for them," he said while urging countries that did not fully agree with the text to refrain from blocking consensus among WHO's 194 member states.

Another glaring issue is that Article 55 of the International Health Regulations requires the text of any amendment to be communicated to member states at least four months before the World Health Assembly at which they are to be considered. The WHO has not provided the final text to member states, and the meeting is weeks away.

According to Reuters, countries are currently in Geneva working to break the deadlocks related to 37 articles the WHO would like to implement. If you ask the WHO, the disagreements are over “equitable access” to vaccines. If you ask anyone else, it’s over an unprecedented power grab by an organization largely funded by the pharmaceutical industry and global elites hungry for control.

Although reports suggest external and internal pressures have watered down some of the amendments, human rights abuses designed to enrich the WHO’s corporate sponsors persist.

According to the Brownstone Institute, most of the WHO’s work is determined by its funders, which consist primarily of private investors, pharma, and countries with heavy pharmaceutical industries. Under the new proposals, WHO will contract products from the same pharmaceutical companies, control the regulatory process, and can declare a pandemic to create a market. Despite its conflicts of interest, the WHO is not accountable to any jurisdiction, whereas the United States is accountable to its people.

The White House recently released its “U.S. Government Global Security Strategy” that “lays out the actions” of the United States for “the next five years,” even though President Biden may not even be in the White House in five years. From the looks of it, the Biden Administration is full steam ahead with its effort to sell the American people and our freedom to the WHO.
