Eight items of major concern regarding the proposed WHO treaty and International Health Regulations (IHR) amendments:
1. Biological warfare agent proliferation. The treaty and the proposed amendments instruct nations that they must perform surveillance for potential pandemic pathogens, build or maintain sequencing labs, and both share actual specimens with the WHO (where a BioHub has been created for this purpose) and also share the sequences online. This demands the proliferation of biological weapons agents.
2. Giving the WHO a blank check to create new rules in the future.
3. Liability-free vaccines developed at warp speed will be produced The treaty calls for rapid vaccine development /production and shaving time off all aspects of vaccine development, testing and manufacture. This requires vaccines to be used without licenses, and the treaty calls for nations to have laws in place to issue Emergency Use Authorizations for this purpose, and to “manage” liability issues.
4. Human rights guarantees have been removed in the new amendments.
5. Social media surveillance and censorship of citizens is required Both the amendments and the treaty call for nation states to perform surveillance of their citizens' social media, and to censor and prevent the spread of information that does not conform to the WHO's public health narratives. Yet the treaty also calls for citizens to be free to access information, while they are to be protected from "infodemics," which are defined as too much information. Citizens must also be stopped from spreading mis- and disinformation.
6. We may not learn what is in the amendments until after they are passed (AKA: "The Pelosi Rule"). The WHO's principal legal officer has provided a legal fig leaf to avoid the obligation of making them public 4 months ahead of the vote. Will the public even see the amendments before a vote on them occurs? Why is there such secrecy regarding the proposed amendments?
7. The WHO Director-General could become your personal physician. According to the proposed amendments, the WHO D-G would be able to commandeer and move medical supplies from one country to another, decide what treatments can be used, and restrict the use of other treatments.
8. When will the WHO be able to use its newly minted powers? [Whenever the Director General wants to, so "always".]
The amendments will come into force after a declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) is made. However, a declaration of a potential PHEIC will also trigger these powers. The powers can be extended even after a PHEIC is over, as we have seen with COVID and monkeypox (MPOX) declarations by the D-G.
The treaty will be in force continuously, requiring no declaration or pandemic to confer new powers to the WHO.
