Changes in Healthcare Freedom

The medical landscape is changing fast, and fortunately, much for the better, particularly regarding healthcare freedom. Four years have passed since the onset of the COVID-19 “pandemic” and the global misinformation and experimental inoculation program that followed. Now, the same governments and international organizations that lied and misused power from the last “pandemic” have been negotiating a new pandemic agreement and amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) at the World Health Organization (WHO). 

President Trump Withdraws the U.S. from WHO Membership

Thankfully, it has recently been declared by executive order that the U.S. will not engage with or participate in the World Health Organization’s pandemic agreement or international health regulations. This unpopular, undemocratic “agreement” was essentially a bid for global control and would have eliminated our medical sovereignty. Also, there has been a temporary pause in the transfer of any U.S. funds and resources to the WHO. As a consequence, it is expected that the WHO may cut its 2026-2027 budget by about 400 million dollars, as the U.S. is the WHO's biggest donor. Additionally, U.S. personnel and contractors working in any capacity with the WHO have been recalled and reassigned. 

According to the official executive order, “The United States noticed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization in 2020 due to the organization’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, and other global health crises, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.  In addition, the WHO continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries’ assessed payments.  China with a population of 1.4 billion, has 300 percent of the population of the United States, yet contributes nearly 90 percent less to the WHO.”

Issues With the Pandemic Agreement 

The pandemic agreement would take a sledgehammer to American First Amendment free speech rights. The willingness of governments to use the pandemic to clamp down on unpopular ideas and opinions to “protect” public health and safety has proven durable. And this new agreement instructs governments to “cooperate, in accordance with national law, in preventing misinformation and disinformation.” Such language in an international agreement will encourage those in free countries who similarly wish to suppress unpopular opinions under the guise of countering misinformation and disinformation.

Indeed, the WHO itself seems offended by criticism. Earlier this year, Director-General Tedros said that negotiations were occurring in a very difficult environment, facing a “torrent of fake news, lies, and conspiracy theories.” Ironically, this argument was the same one used against conservatives who subscribed to the now-proven lab leak theory.​ Our government must wholly reject it.

​

In short, the new pandemic agreement should alarm all Americans. It is far more focused on redistributing income, transferring technology, and weakening intellectual property than on preventing, detecting, and responding to pandemics in the first place. It failed to address the elephant in the room—the total lack of enforcement in the IHR—and as written, it is nothing short of a power grab by the Chinese Communist Party-controlled WHO.

The False Illusion of the WHO

The WHO is one of several globalist institutions that emerged after World War II, as some country governments agreed to sacrifice aspects of their sovereignty allegedly “for the common good”. The WHO is not subjected to genuinely democratic electoral procedures, in the sense of representing the choice expressed by the populations of its member countries. If you go to the official WHO site, you will of course get the impression that this organization has a spotless record and deserves to be praised for its humanitarian deeds. But this illusion is far from the truth.

The WHO resembles Monsanto, the multinational corporation that dominates agribusiness by promoting genetically modified seeds with "terminator genes," while presenting itself as prioritizing the well-being and development of poor countries.

Criticisms of WHO Leadership

The WHO under the direction of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has been accused of being corrupt, inefficient, deceiving, and overly reliant on private donors with questionable “humanitarian” agendas. It is important to realize that the accusations are weighty, well-argued, and made by institutions that are well established, and pronounced by scientists and investigative journalists who are credible and trustworthy. It is difficult to dismiss all of them as a handful of conspiracy theorists, as regularly happens nowadays as soon as an interesting and well-argued debate is launched on a sensitive issue. 

The goal of the current executive order is in part to prevent corruption through greater transparency and reinforce accountability mechanisms of their healthcare policies, but also to opt out of the pandemic agreement.
