Proposed IHR amendements

LATEST NEWS

A leaked version of the negotiating text of the proposed "Pandemic Agrement" dated was recently obtained and analyzed by James Rogulski.

Following that, based on the focus taken in the documentation, James Rogulski cautioned against making blanket statements that no longer align with the current latest draft. 

See https://jamesroguski.substack.com/p/what-a-mess  and https://jamesroguski.substack.com/p/the-spirit-of-geneva 

When critics of the WHO, including the 90,000+ signatories of the petition to withdraw from the WHO, make statements like "the agreements mean that Canada will lose its soverignty" so-called "fact checkers" debunk those statements by pointing at some minutae within the draft documentation. Letter writers need to be careful not to make blanket statments that no longer hold up given the latest  draft documentation.  A case in point: this "debunking" was done by US based Politifacts against the intiatiors of a movement in the US to DEFUND and EXIT the WHO: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/10/facebook-posts/false-claim-resurfaces-about-who-pandemic-treaty-a/

The authors miss the real concerns but gain mileage pointing out that what the critics say is not actually in the WHO documents. Our goverment officials then become aware of the "debunked" status of the topic and are hesitant when it comes to reading our letters seriously. As James Rogulski puts it: "We have to be sure in our communications that we are not barking up the wrong tree!"

Summary:

The World Health Organization is attempting a GLOBAL POWER GRAB by seeking to have the 194 member nations of the World Health Assembly a completely new international agreement commonly referred to as the proposed “Pandemic Treaty” in addition to seeking to adopt proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations.

The proposed “Pandemic Treaty” would give the WHO control over “pathogens with pandemic potential” as well as control over the means of production within the Pharmaceutical, Hospital, Emergency Industrial Complex. It is an absolute abomination that must be stopped.

The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations would make the WHO’s proclamations legally-binding rather than just advisory recommendations. The proposed amendments seek to institute global digital health certificates, dramatically increase the billions of dollars available to the WHO and enable nations to implement the regulations WITHOUT respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of people.

Agreement by a simple majority of the 194 member nations is all that is needed to adopt the amendments because, as amendments to an existing agreement, neither the advice and consent of the United States Senate, nor the signature of the President would be required.

These proposed amendments are being negotiated in secret without any opportunity for comment by people from around the world.
