Nothing in WHO’s Pandemic Treaty can rise from the ashes of the negotiations to be voted on this week. The treaty is done.
And
of the amended International Health Regulations articles that were
agreed upon and will be put forward for countries to vote on this week,
the only one of any real concern relates to the surveillance of citizens
to combat misinformation and disinformation.
However, as Dr.
Meryl Nass points out, governments are already monitoring our speech,
censoring and propagandising us. So, although it is a great concern, it
is nothing new.
On Friday, as the International Negotiating Body
were admitting that they were unable to reach an agreement on the text
of the Pandemic Treaty, corporate media were trying to salvage whatever
credibility the World Health Organisation’s (“WHO’s”) pandemic plans had
left, if any.
Writing for The New York Times, Apoorva
Mandavilli’s article ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous,
according to Dr. Mery Nass.
‘Countries Fail to Agree on Treaty
to Prepare the World for the Next Pandemic’, The New York Times headed
its article. Followed by the lede: “Negotiators plan to ask for more
time. Among the sticking points are equitable access to vaccines and
financing to set up surveillance systems.”
WHO was hoping to
present two pandemic instruments to the 77th World Health Assembly
(“WHA77”) for adoption. One is the Pandemic Treaty, also referred to as
the Pandemic Accord, and the other is the amendments to the
International Health Regulations (2005) (“IHR”).
“Negotiators
had hoped to adopt the treaty this week,” The New York Times noted, “But
cancelled meetings and fractious debates – sometimes over a single word
– stalled agreement on key sections, including equitable access to
vaccines.”
But regarding the IHR amendments, The New York Times
only made one small mention: “The countries are also working on
bolstering the WHO’s International Health Regulations, which were last
revised in 2005 and set detailed rules for countries to follow in the
event of an outbreak that may breach borders.”...<<<Read More>>>...
