Who the hell is the WHO? It has zero power over sovereign nations, unless we cede it to them. The bigger problem in the west is electing leaders who actually pay attention to these corrupt, dysfunctional international organizations.
Except a supranational power structure to which nation-State democracies are legally bound to follow its orders and without any accountability. So not nothing at all.
So China and Russia follow? I don’t think legality comes into. Those who follow want to cuddle up to the Americans for some reason.
This reminds of something many years ago when I worked for a manufacturing company. We followed all of the EU laws but the Italian competitors just ignored them. I was told that Italy was always the first to sign up to EU laws; then Italy ignored them completely but the UK followed them to the letter. The idea of an international law is just plain ridiculous.
Yes been there, got the T Shirt – lost the bids to Italian (or German and French) co’s who had no intention of meeting EU (or ISO) standards but strictly complied with the clients brown envelope requirements.
…” cuddle up to the Americans”? As the article said Reagan was very sceptical of WHO and withdrew some of the US’ money, so did Trump. Biden on the other hand is another story
Precisely. the WHO’s decision-making body, voted to freeze its budget — under pressure from the Reagan administration, which saw the WHO as a socialist-leaning, unaccountable organisation working against American interests. This was followed by the 1985 decision by the United States to withhold its contribution, in part as a protest against its “Essential Drug Program”, which encouraged developing countries to develop their own capacities to produce essential medicines, rather than rely on Western drug companies — small wonder leading US-based pharmaceutical companies were averse.
Imagine that. Companies averse to providing development funding to their incipient competitors!
Socialists like this idiot need to be called out at every juncture.

If you were explaining why the EU is such a hopeless mess then you would have a good point, but in this context we’re talking about a situation where these supranational bodies are enthusiastically adopted and their rules adhered to by politicians who would much rather blame someone else for policies that are not popular and cannot gain democratic legitimacy directly. Given that such policies now include health services actually killing people legally, I don’t think you can really make this about how Italy circumvents the rules-based order when it suits it: the point is that following such rules DOES suit politicians in many countries.

It isn’t ratified, YET. The WHO is dangerously close to getting control over 194 Nation ‘states’ (note how they refer to Nations as states) Public Health response during ‘the next’ pandemic which Bill Gates continually states is inevitable. They are working on a binding International Agreement which they will not call a Treaty because many countries have laws requiring that Treaties must be approved by, for example in the USA, 65% of the Senate. The WHO, UN, and WEF are all working on this – the WEF has many world leaders as members of their organization ie: Canada, USA, Australia, Europe, NZ, UK etc. so voters are not even being made aware that this is going down. Which is why I am glad that UNHERD published this article. WHO intends to ratify this ‘agreement’ in 2024. Meaning Teadros, an un-elected fool who takes his orders from the CCP and Gates would be calling the shots on OUR Public Health response to a pLANdemic. His last effort was a fiasco. The truth of it is starting to come out. The source of the virus, (lab) the ineffectiveness and the harms caused by mRNA, mandates, lockdowns, testing, masking – the entire useless response invented by the Chinese.
I believe there were “opt in” documents signed by willing countries. They were rolled out in peak Covid panic when our governments were all freaking out looking for someone to tell them what to do.
If you read look up a fella called James Roguski he’s all over the ins and outs of this stuff. Both the “Pandemic Treaty” and the IHR

“Ceding power to them” seems to be a real possibility and concern particularly given current European legal trends promoting principles of “sincere cooperation” and “confidence creep”exposing member states to binding accomodation of “dysfunctional international organisations” like WHO.
Rather (or, in addition) the question should be: “Who the Hell is Bill Gates (et al)?”
Private interests indirectly making “public” decisions (to the extent WHO impacts government policies) for their personal gain – or even for their personal opinions about policy preferences.
There is almost a whiff of treason in the air, to the extent these investments and decisions are intentionally contrary to and independent of the opinions of voters. Gates et al seem to be the root cause of buffalo-ing people with “fear, surprise and torture”.
Bill Gates is son of William H. Gates who was deep state to the core. Bill Gates is buying up land in the US and is now the biggest private landowner is the US.

The WHO is a sibling to the IPCC. Any dissenting voice gets killed off and private interest groups and activists are deciding, what will happen to our future energy. Unless we elect politicians who will stand up to these supra national organisations, we are all doomed.
WHO will soon have power over sovereign nations who sign up to its global response objective on future pandemics, WHO will decide to who and what vaccines are administered, when lockdowns are to take place and for how long etc etc, I believe USA have signed up and UK are on the verge.
There is a global campaign by WHO to get every country to sign up, no doubt there will be some carrots dangled for poorer nations, which no doubt will be funded by the wealthier ones.
Not necessarily a carrot but most likely a stick. If the poorer countries don’t sign up they will lose travel freedoms, trade concessions, become persona non grata and so on. The Covid pressures have shown WHO the blueprint, and it is now simply a matter of refining it.
Be afraid, be very afraid.

I genuinely don’t understand why progressive politicians are so keen to cede power to these unelected organizations. I am guessing that they are encouraged to by the corporations that heavily influence them.
Unfortunately it is about cede power on a level which will enter full dystopia. The writer of this article elegantly points out the major issues, and the power wielded will remove any democracy, body autonomy and will inflict untold harms. This goes against everything the Nuremberg and Geneva code stood for. This is the war of all wars, and our governments are working for these corporations now.

This is a good analysis. We live in perilous times. It’s important to rise above the noise and try and understand the facts and this article helps us to do that, so thank you Thomas Fazi. Please excuse the length of this post but I have twelve important factual points to add, all of which bar the first are gleaned from a detailed reading of the WHO’s own website.
1. Tedros was appointed in 2017 with the backing of the Chinese Communist Party against the UK’s eminently more qualified Sir David Nabarro. He is the first WHO Gen Sec does not to be a professionally qualified medical doctor. He is an Ethiopian communist, and (former?) member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, an organisation that the US government deemed to be “terrorist”. During his time in the Ethiopian government, including seven years as Health Minister, political opponents accuse him of human rights abuses and covering up three cholera outbreaks. Shortly after his appointment as WHO DG he attempted to appoint Robert Mugabe as a “goodwill ambassador”.
2. He described the “pandemic treaty”, in early 2022, as a “generational” change, a “game changer”, and a “great historical stride forward”. In his successful pitch for (unopposed) reappointment for another five year term in early 2022 he said urged national leaders to “act with ambition so that negotiations [on the pandemic treaty] are swift and we are ready to respond to the inevitable next Disease X”.
3. Tedros has, so far successfully, led the charge for a “One Health” approach. Advocates of it describe it as “an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems”. The WHO acknowledged in January 2022 that such an approach “would reach beyond pandemic preparedness and response and … the mandate of WHO… However the application of a One Health approach also would yield significant benefits for the international community … This could include new and/or strengthening of existing platforms, surveillance, furthering multisectoral partnerships (human, animal and environmental health sectors) and promoting specific countermeasures in line with the One Health approach.” The UK’s representative at the WHO appeared to agree, opining that “One Health should be the default approach”.
4. This is reflected in the WHO’s expressed belief that there should be “a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach” to disease control and pandemic management.
5. The treaty, if Tedros and Gates etc get their way, will not only empower Tedros to declare an emergency but will do so on the basis of the “precautionary principle”. The proposed amendments to the IHR would allow Tedros to declare an emergency without the consent of the government of the country or countries in which an alleged outbreak is occurring.
6. The US has already pushed through an amendment to the IHR which reduces the amount of time that member states have to withdraw their consent to future IHR amendments once agreed, from 18 to 10 months. So no possibility of reopening a debate at the subsequent World Healthy Assembly in light, for example, of domestic opposition.
7. In his opening address to the May 2022 World Health Assembly, Tedros said
“Only 57 countries have vaccinated 70% of their population – almost all of them high-income countries. We must continue to support all countries to reach 70% vaccination coverage as soon as possible, including 100% of those aged over 60; 100% of health workers; and 100% of those with underlying conditions.” He did not acknowledge that not everyone might consent to being vaccinated so it is reasonable to interpret this comment as a call for mandatory vaccination of certain people. He goes on:
“In some [countries] we see gaps in operational or financial capacity; and in all, we see vaccine hesitancy driven by misinformation and disinformation.”
“WHO’s primary focus now is to support countries to turn vaccines into vaccinations as fast as possible … The pandemic will not magically disappear. But we can end it. We have the knowledge. We have the tools. Science has given us the upper hand.”
8. The WHO has said that “Non-State Actors” [see point 10 below], should “leverage their role as key actors in health emergency prevention, preparedness and response and as active promoters of pandemic and health emergency literacy, particularly in engaging local communities” and “contributing to transparency and timeliness of information with a view to preventing the spread of misinformation”.
9. Thomas Fazi is correct that WHO’s dependence on private funding has increased but they are also looking to extract more resources from national governments & the people they are supposed to represent, to “transform” the WHO. Tedros’s May 2022 address, again:
“I welcome the recommendation of the Working Group on Sustainable Financing to increase assessed contributions to 50% of the core budget over the next decade … I also welcome the recommendation to consider a replenishment model, to broaden our financing base, and to provide more flexible funding for the programme budget. These recommendations could completely transform this Organization.”
10. The second part of the first meeting of the International Negotiating Body (INB) on the treaty agreed in March 2022 on “modalities of engagement for relevant stakeholders”. This provided for a long list (I counted 291 in total at the time but they keep adding to this list) of entities who would be invited to attend and to speak at open session meetings of the INB, and its sub-groups, and to provide comments in writing including on draft materials prepared by those working groups. This includes:
• 19 UN and other intergovernmental organizations in effective relations with WHO, such as the League of Arab States and the International Committee of Military Medicine.
• 8 official “observers:, including Gavi, the Vaccine alliance as one of eight official “observers” along with the Order of Malta, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
• 220(!) “non-State actors in official relations with WHO (as of February 2022), including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA), Oxfam, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Bloomberg Family Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and many other charitable, philanthropic, and trade organisations.
• A further list of 44 other “stakeholders”, including the COVID-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP), the UN Population Fund, and the World Bank.
11. This follows agreement in January 2022 at the WHO’s Executive Board that the should be an “informal pre-meeting for interested non-State actors in official relations, Member States and the Secretariat will be organized annually during the four to six weeks before the World Health Assembly”. No records, minutes, or even attendee lists of any such a meeting were published as far as I can see (happy to stand corrected though if this is not true) but presumably it went ahead. Presumably the second one will be taking place some time this month.
12. In April 2022 the WHO held a series of public hearings and opened up a portal for comments by the “global public.” They received a total of 36,294 written responses. This is from the WHO’s own summary:
“The majority of written contributions proposed that no international instrument should be established.” … “A number of submissions referred to respect for national autonomy and sovereignty, noting that subnational and cultural bodies, and local health entities were better placed to make health decisions at the national level. Such a focus on sovereignty was justified by the differences in national health systems.
The majority of submissions requested that human rights be respected in the process of drafting and negotiating a convention, agreement or other international instrument, including but not limited to the right to bodily autonomy informed by consent, the freedom of information, the freedom from discrimination, and the freedom to choose medical interventions. Several submissions referred to international instruments such as the Nuremberg Code, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration of Helsinki, the Belmont Report, and the Oviedo Convention and its Protocols.“
Thank you for the appreciative comments. Please feel very free to share the points with friends, family, colleagues, and legislators. The substantive, serious issue of this treaty & IHR amendments needs far more attention than it is currently getting relative to, for example, UK politicians’ silly text messages.
While this might be nit picking, it is a crucial nit that really does need to be picked because it punches above its weight for distorting the truth.
Colonialism improved public health around the world. It is a far cry from the abuses of the totalitarian states. The sooner we get away from the colonialism was an evil racist act done by an evil racist people (aka white people) the sooner we can move forward.
It is a stupid and thoughtless comment that divides and gets people offside. White people need to grow a spine and speak up from the get go. Colonialism was not perfect and abuses did happen but what is brought up ad-nauseam is totally out of context because the build up is ignored and the punishment handed down to the abuser is also ignored.
As long as this continues, we will be divided.

A great article! It’s about time the general public are made aware that ‘The Emperor has no Clothes’. I worked across the world for a large international development company – whose health programmes were efficiently planned, resourced, effective and timely. Without exception, compatriots I talked to, who represented other international organisations delivering health programmes or responding to disasters, viewed the WHO as largely ineffective, cumbersome and spendthrift. It’s in the mould of the EU – large budgets, large salaries, plush offices, ‘see the world’ at the taxpayers’ expense, a job for life – however ineffective the programme.

WHO are a crime syndicate, one Ian Flemming would have invented for his books if it did not already exist. 1948 it was created as part of the UN… and so that was that, its turn to evil assured. Claus and Tedros and Gates – they basically could play themselves and the whole (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.) SPECTRE would be believable (because it would be).
As a young man I read a biography of one of the first ‘Surgeon Generals of the group which later became WHO, International Sanitary Conference, and Pan American Sanitary Bureau.
These men were scientists/Saints. The Surgeon Generals then were Medical doctors of the highest quality, who served in the Military and became expert on satiation by that, coupled with the international scope. The admiration I feel for these men is absolute. (the US Surgeon General now! WOW, not quite the same)
One of the most stirring books of my lifetime was the creation of the leper Colonies under them, and the astounding young Mid West Americans who would do Seminary, a crash course of doctor and dentist – and ship off to work the Leper Colonies – Never to Marry or Ever to return home as leprosy was contagious, and volunteering to be medical staff was a death sentence. And they did – and went, knowing one day they would cross from the staff side of the colony to the inmate side…. and off off they would go to the very worst possible fate out of love for the lowest and most abandoned of all… They did it for their conviction to Love of mankind, and for God.
This was when it was about Health and serving Mankind.
Now we know it is about enslaving mankind, growing powerful and obscenely wealthy, and likely the WEF and Gates Foundation stated depopulation goals.
A saintly and scientific organization morphed into a satan and twisting science organization under Ted**s and Bill and Melinda, and WEF, and the wicked Welcome Trust, and the whole Bio-Pharma evil – And now they are in grasping reach of taking over the world’s governments in any Plandemic they chose to release next!
Is there anything good to come from modern political things like the NGOs and the UN? I doubt it, they are owned, they are captured by Evil men.
I did not read the article as the WHO make me ill to read on – so I do not address specific details…. I hope Fazi really let them have it.
(edited to say – those young American Missionaries would go all over the world to work the Leper colonies – people who they did not understand, language they did not speak, for life with no parole. I was stirred because I have met this saintly type in odd parts of the world….)
Your doomspeak rants are really tiresome, and mostly insane. It’s pretty amazing that you’re too delicate (or lazy) to read the article, lest you get a tummyache, but have no compunction subjecting others to thousands of words of often sickening dystopian hodgepodge–admittedly, I scroll past it now for the most part (but read your post above as a minimal courtesy)–and somehow don’t seem to make yourself sicker by them, except perhaps in the head.
Do you like anything that still exists in the world, or are you solely against all the evil you see everywhere you look–everywhere, it seems, but the mirror? And heroes of a bygone, largely-imaginary age which I’m quite sure you’d find a way to condemn if they came back and became present-day real people. Good luck with whatever remains sane and benevolent within you. I know you have a sense of humor and I liked your recent “brown acid” joke.
He’s proper fallen down the rabbit hole. His previous incarnations were interesting and his opinions were well written and articulate, now it’s just a load of buzz words copy and pasted from conspiracy theory websites
Good jokes tend to have an element of truth. I like: “Yes I’m paranoid, but that doesn’t mean the world isn’t out to get me!”
Surely the number of true conspiracies falls between zero and all that are logistically possible. Pretty shameful silencing and conspiratorial spin-doctoring on the Wuhan front–checked your link–as well as many aspects of the covid-flu world disaster, from groups of zealots on both sides, one whom I’ll call Plandemicists, the other Follow-the-(changing) science-dogmatists.
On the more serious side of the ‘conspiracy’ cult, it’s about thinking independently. It’s not about looking for a conspiracy as such but assessing all the information and drawing your own conclusions. If you draw conclusions that are outside the accepted narrative you are then normally called a conspiracy theorist, or peddler of misinformation.
There are some hilarious conspiracy theories granted. That are not based in any reality.
Just gave it my first ever listen, thanks. A decent Nirvana “deep track”. (I’m a fan but I never had any CDs of theirs).
Fair enough about “conspiracy hound!” and “misinformation-monger!” being thrown around as a reflex or smokescreen.
I mean, I believe that those who voted for the wrong candidates are reptilian pedophiles, but some of the theories are just silly. 😉
I think it was a B side tbh, one of the lesser known and probably not one of their greatest tracks. I have his journals from being into all that years ago, that track and some others are written in them.
But are they reptiles from space or from the sea? You do realise even that crazy crew can’t agree on the origin of their lizard overlords…..

But his act has a fierce and distressingly large following, fellow downvoted “crusader”. I’m gonna take a hopeful stance and chalk it up largely to the Yeats (know it, didn’t show it) lines: “The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity”.
Other lines that seem relevant to the grim mood of many articles and comment boards here:
“The woods of Arcady are dead / And over is their antique joy / Of old the world on dreaming fed / Grey Truth is now her painted toy”
I’ve loved those lines since I saw them in my late teens, but noting that they are from 1895 does put hyper-nostalgic views into perspective, or at least on a longer timeline. O tempora! O mores!

The WHO is about old people, people who might have done something in their lives and so get rewarded (put out to grass) in a paying job which makes them feel important. It is American, like The United Nations – also full of similar old people, who are too slow to keep up.
Old people hurt you by not being fast enough to react to change. Old people hurt you by knowing that they are right (experience), even when they are wrong.
A large survey of thousands of doctors in the USA showed that the old doctors just couldn’t keep up with modern medicine BUT they thought that they were right because of their holistic approach. They were more likely to be wrong than any young doctor.
I didn’t ever meet my grandparents, who all died before I was born. My father died when I was 19 and my mother when I was 40. My very first record (45rpm) was Wimoweh by Karl Denver, bought from Woolworths.
I have grown up. I just don’t know old people who have anything to offer – except for family support of course and that can often mean money. Maybe church or the WI but that is just old people supporting old people.
What a strange attitude. You’re over 40, and yet still consider yourself young? I’m 51 and my teen kids already view me as a kind of decrepit, incipient dementia case.
Besides is life really all about what you ‘have to offer’? Is it all merely a grey transactional analysis? I hope not!
You at least get the point. It is all too easy to do something important (ish) in your life and then consider that your views are still meaningful as you get older and older.
I spent a lot of time working in Italy and every morning the old, retired men would be kicked out by their wives. They used to meet for hours in the morning in cafés, shouting at the tops of their voices, putting all of the problems of the world to rights. Nobody cared but it was fun.

WHO are a crime syndicate, one Ian Flemming would have invented for his books if it did not already exist. 1948 it was created as part of the UN… and so that was that, its turn to evil assured. Claus and Tedros and Gates – they basically could play themselves and the whole (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.) SPECTRE would be believable (because it would be).
As a young man I read a biography of one of the first ‘Surgeon Generals of the group which later became WHO, International Sanitary Conference, and Pan American Sanitary Bureau.
These men were scientists/Saints. The Surgeon Generals then were Medical doctors of the highest quality, who served in the Military and became expert on satiation by that, coupled with the international scope. The admiration I feel for these men is absolute. (the US Surgeon General now! WOW, not quite the same)
One of the most stirring books of my lifetime was the creation of the leper Colonies under them, and the astounding young Mid West Americans who would do Seminary, a crash course of doctor and dentist – and ship off to work the Leper Colonies – Never to Marry or Ever to return home as leprosy was contagious, and volunteering to be medical staff was a death sentence. And they did – and went, knowing one day they would cross from the staff side of the colony to the inmate side…. and off off they would go to the very worst possible fate out of love for the lowest and most abandoned of all… They did it for their conviction to Love of mankind, and for God.
This was when it was about Health and serving Mankind.
Now we know it is about enslaving mankind, growing powerful and obscenely wealthy, and likely the WEF and Gates Foundation stated depopulation goals.
A saintly and scientific organization morphed into a satan and twisting science organization under Ted**s and Bill and Melinda, and WEF, and the wicked Welcome Trust, and the whole Bio-Pharma evil – And now they are in grasping reach of taking over the world’s governments in any Plandemic they chose to release next!
Is there anything good to come from modern political things like the NGOs and the UN? I doubt it, they are owned, they are captured by Evil men.
I did not read the article as the WHO make me ill to read on – so I do not address specific details…. I hope Fazi really let them have it.
(edited to say – those young American Missionaries would go all over the world to work the Leper colonies – people who they did not understand, language they did not speak, for life with no parole. I was stirred because I have met this saintly type in odd parts of the world….)
I do not know about the situation at WHO but – if this article is broadly correct – then surely it is just an example of a wider trend. The state – at both the national and international levels – has got so large and complicated that a few elected ministers are unable to control the various bureaucracies. Instead assorted ideological and corporate interests try to capture the agencies and dictate the agenda. Arrangements which worked well in the nineteenth century are insufficient today.

Fazi’s loathing of “capitalism” doesn’t excuse the fact that these U.N. Organizations, like the U.N. itself, are unelected, expensive, largely useless, and mostly dangerous. It’s long past time the U.S. ended its relationship with that body and its affiliates. The building on the East River would, with some updates, make a nice and badly-needed homeless shelter for Americans vets.
We could have more unhinged returning vets if America decides to go at it even more on our own against Russia, China and their underlings. Or perhaps we’ll build a wall around the perimeter of the contiguous states and finally confront our homeland nightmares, such as homelessness, drug overdoses, and runaway greed.

“Equity” is not a vague term: it identifies a programme for the complete dismantling of Western capitalism on the grounds that the structures it has produced are rooted in racism and colonialism. If that is the way the WHO is going, the UK should withdraw ASAP.

I wonder what Matt Ridley is doing about this – if anything. He was of course one of the first high-profile people to blow the whistle on the lab-leak hypothesis along with Alina Chan, so he’s well placed to oppose this massive expansion of anti-democratic supranational power.

A great article which i read with huge relief that folk are waking up to the plans underway. Another major funder of the WHO is……. China! That’s why the so called investigation into the lab leak theory, in Wuhan, by the WHO was a complete whitewash and has been discredited ever since. China is cosying up to Russia too much in recent weeks leading to the FBI declaring the lab leak theory the most likely cause.

Here in the UK we couldn’t even prevent ‘Sinbad’ & 45,0000 of his chums paddling across the Channel last year, so what chance have we with the dreaded WHO?

This is a very good article but I am surprised it doesn’t mention the way China hi-jacked control of the WHO in May 2017. At that time there was a vote for a new Director-General and Dr David Nabarro of Imperial College was the front runner. China corralled their client state votes, mostly in Africa, to install Tedros instead. He was the first Director-General of the WHO with no medical background whatsoever. He was re-installed, unopposed, in May 2022.
The Covid virus came from China. So did the lockdown policy and so did most of the PPE including billions upon billions of useless, disposable masks, most of which are currently polluting the environment (another aspect that needs investigation), with huge profits for Chinese companies. Why did the WHO change its mask policy in April 2020?
This aspect of what the WHO is currently trying to do needs a lot of further investigation.

A far greater concern that ” post industrial capitalism” has brought, via hoodwinking especially Conservative politicians, is the ” privatisation” of sectors that are immune to competition/ competitive pricing. Ulilities including railways are a prime example, where the consumer has no choice and is a fish in a barrel victim, yet the self same politicians allow post Lehman banks to be bailed out by ” the taxpayer”, and stop North Sea oil and gas so as to pander to eco sandaloid votes so as to keep their own jobs, as well as waste billions on ” private PPE” during Covid?

Hello. It’s great to be with you all today – albeit virtually. I want to thank the United Kingdom for hosting this summit – and for their generosity. They have been one of the world’s leading contributors to global health and development – including immunization programs – and have supported Gavi from the beginning.
I think it’s safe to say: This is not the kind of replenishment event we envisioned a few months ago. It’s more remote. But it’s also more important.
We are meeting at a unique time in history. Never have more people been more aware of the importance of vaccines.
As we race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, we must also renew our commitment to delivering every lifesaving vaccine there is to every child on earth.
That is the work that Gavi and alliance partners have been doing for 20 years. And when we come together as a global community to support Gavi replenishment, we are making sure that it can continue doing this work until no child dies from a vaccine-preventable disease.
Since its inception, Gavi has helped vaccinate more than three quarters of a billion children. It has incentivized researchers to develop vaccines for neglected diseases. It has made new vaccines widely available years before they would have been available without Gavi.
And now, it has stepped up and said it is willing to deliver a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as one is available, to end this pandemic as soon as possible.
If we didn’t already have Gavi, we would have to create it to solve this crisis.
Gavi will have to stay focused on its core work while learning how to address COVID-19. It can’t let one task slip while it concentrates on the other, because lives, and children’s futures, are at stake in both cases.
Our foundation is proud to have been a member of the Gavi alliance from the beginning. It’s the largest investment we make – and easily one of the best. We need Gavi now more than ever.
Today, we are pledging $1.6 billion dollars to help Gavi continue its work over the next five years.
In addition, the foundation is proud to support the new COVID-19 Vaccine Advance Market Commitment with a $100 million contribution to help make sure that when a COVID-19 vaccine is discovered, everyone who needs it can have access to it, starting with health care workers and other high-risk populations. I hope others will consider similar commitments in the coming weeks, including at the upcoming Global Goal: Unite for our Future event on June 27.
To all those who have pledged: Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for making sure Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance has what it needs— and that billions of people can get the good health and opportunity they need.
Question is…why was there a ‘vaccine solution’ for Covid-19?
It was known from the beginning that Covid wasn’t a serious threat for most people, so how did we end up with Gates’ insane plan to ‘vaccinate’ the entire global population…over and over again?
This is what must be tracked back now, how was the Covid vaccine plan evaluated and approved, where are the minutes of the meetings?
In June 2020 it was not clear (yet) just how bad things might get. The fear-mongering by the press had everyone shaking in their boots, hiding in their cellars. Vaccines were touted as the solution, and that was not a ridiculous idea. If they stopped the spread. But they didn’t. Vaccinated people were less likely to get severe symptoms or die, but still got infected even more than once. And the death rate and co-morbidity situation was just starting to be understood.
And, of course, Gates has a messiah complex.

Gates’ baby? Covid scam? What a sick and twisted suggestion. I’m uncertain why people believe this conspiratorial garbage that drifts through the internet like a stinking open sewer. You are utterly deranged.
So you agree with a Global Pandemic Treaty where the Gates funded WHO dictates global responses? And Global Vaccination Passports? I’m astonished by your naivety and your willingness to hand over your freedom of choice to a notoriously corrupt unelected World Health Organisation. Presumably you’ll also be happy to have an underskin identity microchip.
Your words, not mine. I have little to no confidence in the WHO. That doesn’t equate to believing that covid was a scam however or that Gates is some kind of evil bond villain, he’s merely a rich geek with noble intentions but a disconnect with reality.
Disregarding the covid scam issue, If you have little to no confidence in the WHO then you surely must have misgivings about a Global Pandemic Treaty authorising the unelected WHO to dictate mandatory global responses?

Her suggestion is to find out how mass vaccination became the weapon to use against a virus with a particular vulnerable target (the over 70s) while well argued points of view that opposed this line were silenced and at times demonised.
Your small diatribe against her seems to be a prepared and general attack against…well anyone who disagrees with you.
Now that could well be an interesting discussion. What ruined it however was to start the comment with referring to covid as Gates’ baby and a UK scam, which just makes one appear to be on the lunatic fringe.

I would be more comfortable with the role of the WHO if it concentrated on fundamentals – e.g. “Don’t cr*p in the drinking water supply” “Boil water before you drink it.” and “Instead of sending most of the foreign aid money to Swiss banks, use some of it to build a sewer system and toilets.”

Gates and co seem to have put in more money than China but have a fraction of the influence. Quite right in most respects; China has a vast population. But some of the most outrageous things complained about here were done in the interests of China, not science or rational debate.
I look forward to a non idealogical, non journalistic, book on what happened with Covid 19.

“This is the aim of two agreements currently under discussion. The first consists of a set of amendments to the existing International Health Regulations, an instrument with force under international law. The second is a new “pandemic treaty” that goes in the same direction as the IHR amendments.“
Who is discussing these issues, where, in what forums? Articles like this fall down for me in creating a very big bogeyman but leaving him ill defined and hidden in shadow.
Democratic government is not completely dead. Name the government departments responsible for these negotiations, the people involved, the timelines. Is this really a well advanced coup, as implied, or an early stage consideration. Clearly there is world wide pushback on the WHOs pandemic handling, how powerful is that movement,, who’s leading it etc.
Some of these pieces are becoming as strident as those on the left stoking fear of the ever imminent right wing violent insurgency.
I think it’s fair to say its wounded but not completely dead. These things are typically cyclical. Once the monsters overreach there’ll be push back, the Nuremburg trials perhaps the best recent example. Sadly the monsters have to do their evil before this happens. If you look very long term the human condition has improved overall despite backward steps along the way – WHO being potentially a big one!

If you look very long term the human condition has improved overall despite backward steps along the way – WHO being potentially a big one!
Delusional. Where have you been for the last 3 years?

“This is the aim of two agreements currently under discussion. The first consists of a set of amendments to the existing International Health Regulations, an instrument with force under international law. The second is a new “pandemic treaty” that goes in the same direction as the IHR amendments.“
Who is discussing these issues, where, in what forums? Articles like this fall down for me in creating a very big bogeyman but leaving him ill defined and hidden in shadow.
Democratic government is not completely dead. Name the government departments responsible for these negotiations, the people involved, the timelines. Is this really a well advanced coup, as implied, or an early stage consideration. Clearly there is world wide pushback on the WHOs pandemic handling, how powerful is that movement,, who’s leading it etc.
Some of these pieces are becoming as strident as those on the left stoking fear of the ever imminent right wing violent insurgency.

A sensible WHO would take account of the growing population and incentivise the First World to breed more and the already poor Third World less. To increase life expectancy into the heart attack / cancer prone years without a health service who can cope is unkind.

Lots of people here asking how the WHO can enforce its ‘directives’. Err, were you asleep the last two years? Or because you were vaccinated (with what? Do you know?) so you weren’t so badly affected? Point is personal freedoms were removed, many lost their jobs, economies collapsed, and societies turned against each other. But pharma companies got stinking rich, powerful individuals gained excessive influence and governments learned they could “remove” dissent using digital IDs (covid passports). Wake up people the consequences of this are serious – ask any Social Credit bound Chinese citizen.

It appears bizarre to me to ascribe Gates’ choices to a profit motive. He’s spent billions to increase the dividends he receives from his investments in pharmaceutical companies? Get a grip. Rather than focus on solving every problem through the uplift of all societies, he chooses to cure the sick now with vaccines. The former is nebulous, the latter is measurable and real.

What a coalition of interests! – Hancock, Gaites and Tedros. The latter, though he says some crazy stuff (EG concern for Ukranian war victims is racist against black people –BBC News. 13 April 2022) is probably the only one who has genuinely helped others. His record in Ethiopa is best yet for a Minister of Health – if spoilt by his agreeing to wash over Mugabe’s brutal abuses in return for a vote for his WHO election campaign.

A Facebook critic of this article has made the following points:
“Some of the more obvious untruths: 1. The WHO is an advisory UN body which can fund programmes but cannot tell governments what to do; 2. Vaccinations are not imposed on.poor countries. Their collaboration with WHO and NGOS has led to the most dramatic health improvements in history: end of Smallpox, errors inroads in eradicating River virus, malaria, leprosy etc. Etc. In spite of the best efforts of Reagan, IMF etc to defund them. Poor countries are achieving what colonial powers said was impossible. 3. Herd immune to us code for letting old and sick people die. 4. The problem with big pharma is that they are not investing on medicines and vaccines which cost a lot but in sugar water labelled as ‘natural remidies’ (see Ben goldacre ‘bad pharma’ and ‘bad sciebce’. Much more, bit that’s a start.”
Are the above criticisms valid?

Who the hell is the WHO? It has zero power over sovereign nations, unless we cede it to them. The bigger problem in the west is electing leaders who actually pay attention to these corrupt, dysfunctional international organizations.
It is a cousin of The United Nations, child of The League of Nations. Full of well-paid old men, making long boring speeches. It is nothing.
“It is nothing.”
Except a supranational power structure to which nation-State democracies are legally bound to follow its orders and without any accountability. So not nothing at all.
So China and Russia follow? I don’t think legality comes into. Those who follow want to cuddle up to the Americans for some reason.
This reminds of something many years ago when I worked for a manufacturing company. We followed all of the EU laws but the Italian competitors just ignored them. I was told that Italy was always the first to sign up to EU laws; then Italy ignored them completely but the UK followed them to the letter. The idea of an international law is just plain ridiculous.
Yes been there, got the T Shirt – lost the bids to Italian (or German and French) co’s who had no intention of meeting EU (or ISO) standards but strictly complied with the clients brown envelope requirements.
…” cuddle up to the Americans”? As the article said Reagan was very sceptical of WHO and withdrew some of the US’ money, so did Trump. Biden on the other hand is another story
Precisely.
the WHO’s decision-making body, voted to freeze its budget — under pressure from the Reagan administration, which saw the WHO as a socialist-leaning, unaccountable organisation working against American interests. This was followed by the 1985 decision by the United States to withhold its contribution, in part as a protest against its “Essential Drug Program”, which encouraged developing countries to develop their own capacities to produce essential medicines, rather than rely on Western drug companies — small wonder leading US-based pharmaceutical companies were averse.
Imagine that. Companies averse to providing development funding to their incipient competitors!
Socialists like this idiot need to be called out at every juncture.

If you were explaining why the EU is such a hopeless mess then you would have a good point, but in this context we’re talking about a situation where these supranational bodies are enthusiastically adopted and their rules adhered to by politicians who would much rather blame someone else for policies that are not popular and cannot gain democratic legitimacy directly. Given that such policies now include health services actually killing people legally, I don’t think you can really make this about how Italy circumvents the rules-based order when it suits it: the point is that following such rules DOES suit politicians in many countries.

Where does it state that any nation is legally bound to follow its orders? Genuine question ….
The WHO CA+ treaty specifically states that “the instrument should be legally binding”.
Sure. But what’s the enforcement mechanism?
Having other member states freeze you out economically.

It isn’t ratified, YET. The WHO is dangerously close to getting control over 194 Nation ‘states’ (note how they refer to Nations as states) Public Health response during ‘the next’ pandemic which Bill Gates continually states is inevitable. They are working on a binding International Agreement which they will not call a Treaty because many countries have laws requiring that Treaties must be approved by, for example in the USA, 65% of the Senate. The WHO, UN, and WEF are all working on this – the WEF has many world leaders as members of their organization ie: Canada, USA, Australia, Europe, NZ, UK etc. so voters are not even being made aware that this is going down. Which is why I am glad that UNHERD published this article. WHO intends to ratify this ‘agreement’ in 2024. Meaning Teadros, an un-elected fool who takes his orders from the CCP and Gates would be calling the shots on OUR Public Health response to a pLANdemic. His last effort was a fiasco. The truth of it is starting to come out. The source of the virus, (lab) the ineffectiveness and the harms caused by mRNA, mandates, lockdowns, testing, masking – the entire useless response invented by the Chinese.
I believe there were “opt in” documents signed by willing countries. They were rolled out in peak Covid panic when our governments were all freaking out looking for someone to tell them what to do.
If you read look up a fella called James Roguski he’s all over the ins and outs of this stuff. Both the “Pandemic Treaty” and the IHR
The article itself explains this, surely?

Yeah, well the governments of sovereign nations are happily ceding this power with no mandate for it.

“Ceding power to them” seems to be a real possibility and concern particularly given current European legal trends promoting principles of “sincere cooperation” and “confidence creep”exposing member states to binding accomodation of “dysfunctional international organisations” like WHO.
Rather (or, in addition) the question should be: “Who the Hell is Bill Gates (et al)?”
Private interests indirectly making “public” decisions (to the extent WHO impacts government policies) for their personal gain – or even for their personal opinions about policy preferences.
There is almost a whiff of treason in the air, to the extent these investments and decisions are intentionally contrary to and independent of the opinions of voters. Gates et al seem to be the root cause of buffalo-ing people with “fear, surprise and torture”.
A computer scientist, yet treated as a doctor
Bill Gates is son of William H. Gates who was deep state to the core. Bill Gates is buying up land in the US and is now the biggest private landowner is the US.

The WHO is a sibling to the IPCC. Any dissenting voice gets killed off and private interest groups and activists are deciding, what will happen to our future energy. Unless we elect politicians who will stand up to these supra national organisations, we are all doomed.
WHO will soon have power over sovereign nations who sign up to its global response objective on future pandemics, WHO will decide to who and what vaccines are administered, when lockdowns are to take place and for how long etc etc, I believe USA have signed up and UK are on the verge.
There is a global campaign by WHO to get every country to sign up, no doubt there will be some carrots dangled for poorer nations, which no doubt will be funded by the wealthier ones.
Not necessarily a carrot but most likely a stick. If the poorer countries don’t sign up they will lose travel freedoms, trade concessions, become persona non grata and so on. The Covid pressures have shown WHO the blueprint, and it is now simply a matter of refining it.
Be afraid, be very afraid.

I genuinely don’t understand why progressive politicians are so keen to cede power to these unelected organizations. I am guessing that they are encouraged to by the corporations that heavily influence them.
The Progs think that they can control them – and that’s true at present – but the worm turns. We are in for decades of hell, however.

Unfortunately it is about cede power on a level which will enter full dystopia. The writer of this article elegantly points out the major issues, and the power wielded will remove any democracy, body autonomy and will inflict untold harms. This goes against everything the Nuremberg and Geneva code stood for. This is the war of all wars, and our governments are working for these corporations now.

Who the hell is the WHO? It has zero power over sovereign nations, unless we cede it to them. The bigger problem in the west is electing leaders who actually pay attention to these corrupt, dysfunctional international organizations.
This is a good analysis. We live in perilous times. It’s important to rise above the noise and try and understand the facts and this article helps us to do that, so thank you Thomas Fazi. Please excuse the length of this post but I have twelve important factual points to add, all of which bar the first are gleaned from a detailed reading of the WHO’s own website.
1. Tedros was appointed in 2017 with the backing of the Chinese Communist Party against the UK’s eminently more qualified Sir David Nabarro. He is the first WHO Gen Sec does not to be a professionally qualified medical doctor. He is an Ethiopian communist, and (former?) member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, an organisation that the US government deemed to be “terrorist”. During his time in the Ethiopian government, including seven years as Health Minister, political opponents accuse him of human rights abuses and covering up three cholera outbreaks. Shortly after his appointment as WHO DG he attempted to appoint Robert Mugabe as a “goodwill ambassador”.
2. He described the “pandemic treaty”, in early 2022, as a “generational” change, a “game changer”, and a “great historical stride forward”. In his successful pitch for (unopposed) reappointment for another five year term in early 2022 he said urged national leaders to “act with ambition so that negotiations [on the pandemic treaty] are swift and we are ready to respond to the inevitable next Disease X”.
3. Tedros has, so far successfully, led the charge for a “One Health” approach. Advocates of it describe it as “an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems”. The WHO acknowledged in January 2022 that such an approach “would reach beyond pandemic preparedness and response and … the mandate of WHO… However the application of a One Health approach also would yield significant benefits for the international community … This could include new and/or strengthening of existing platforms, surveillance, furthering multisectoral partnerships (human, animal and environmental health sectors) and promoting specific countermeasures in line with the One Health approach.” The UK’s representative at the WHO appeared to agree, opining that “One Health should be the default approach”.
4. This is reflected in the WHO’s expressed belief that there should be “a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach” to disease control and pandemic management.
5. The treaty, if Tedros and Gates etc get their way, will not only empower Tedros to declare an emergency but will do so on the basis of the “precautionary principle”. The proposed amendments to the IHR would allow Tedros to declare an emergency without the consent of the government of the country or countries in which an alleged outbreak is occurring.
6. The US has already pushed through an amendment to the IHR which reduces the amount of time that member states have to withdraw their consent to future IHR amendments once agreed, from 18 to 10 months. So no possibility of reopening a debate at the subsequent World Healthy Assembly in light, for example, of domestic opposition.
7. In his opening address to the May 2022 World Health Assembly, Tedros said
“Only 57 countries have vaccinated 70% of their population – almost all of them high-income countries. We must continue to support all countries to reach 70% vaccination coverage as soon as possible, including 100% of those aged over 60; 100% of health workers; and 100% of those with underlying conditions.” He did not acknowledge that not everyone might consent to being vaccinated so it is reasonable to interpret this comment as a call for mandatory vaccination of certain people. He goes on:
“In some [countries] we see gaps in operational or financial capacity; and in all, we see vaccine hesitancy driven by misinformation and disinformation.”
“WHO’s primary focus now is to support countries to turn vaccines into vaccinations as fast as possible … The pandemic will not magically disappear. But we can end it. We have the knowledge. We have the tools. Science has given us the upper hand.”
8. The WHO has said that “Non-State Actors” [see point 10 below], should “leverage their role as key actors in health emergency prevention, preparedness and response and as active promoters of pandemic and health emergency literacy, particularly in engaging local communities” and “contributing to transparency and timeliness of information with a view to preventing the spread of misinformation”.
9. Thomas Fazi is correct that WHO’s dependence on private funding has increased but they are also looking to extract more resources from national governments & the people they are supposed to represent, to “transform” the WHO. Tedros’s May 2022 address, again:
“I welcome the recommendation of the Working Group on Sustainable Financing to increase assessed contributions to 50% of the core budget over the next decade … I also welcome the recommendation to consider a replenishment model, to broaden our financing base, and to provide more flexible funding for the programme budget. These recommendations could completely transform this Organization.”
10. The second part of the first meeting of the International Negotiating Body (INB) on the treaty agreed in March 2022 on “modalities of engagement for relevant stakeholders”. This provided for a long list (I counted 291 in total at the time but they keep adding to this list) of entities who would be invited to attend and to speak at open session meetings of the INB, and its sub-groups, and to provide comments in writing including on draft materials prepared by those working groups. This includes:
• 19 UN and other intergovernmental organizations in effective relations with WHO, such as the League of Arab States and the International Committee of Military Medicine.
• 8 official “observers:, including Gavi, the Vaccine alliance as one of eight official “observers” along with the Order of Malta, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
• 220(!) “non-State actors in official relations with WHO (as of February 2022), including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA), Oxfam, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Bloomberg Family Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and many other charitable, philanthropic, and trade organisations.
• A further list of 44 other “stakeholders”, including the COVID-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP), the UN Population Fund, and the World Bank.
11. This follows agreement in January 2022 at the WHO’s Executive Board that the should be an “informal pre-meeting for interested non-State actors in official relations, Member States and the Secretariat will be organized annually during the four to six weeks before the World Health Assembly”. No records, minutes, or even attendee lists of any such a meeting were published as far as I can see (happy to stand corrected though if this is not true) but presumably it went ahead. Presumably the second one will be taking place some time this month.
12. In April 2022 the WHO held a series of public hearings and opened up a portal for comments by the “global public.” They received a total of 36,294 written responses. This is from the WHO’s own summary:
“The majority of written contributions proposed that no international instrument should be established.” … “A number of submissions referred to respect for national autonomy and sovereignty, noting that subnational and cultural bodies, and local health entities were better placed to make health decisions at the national level. Such a focus on sovereignty was justified by the differences in national health systems.
The majority of submissions requested that human rights be respected in the process of drafting and negotiating a convention, agreement or other international instrument, including but not limited to the right to bodily autonomy informed by consent, the freedom of information, the freedom from discrimination, and the freedom to choose medical interventions. Several submissions referred to international instruments such as the Nuremberg Code, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration of Helsinki, the Belmont Report, and the Oviedo Convention and its Protocols.“
Many thanks! An extremely useful supplement to the article.
Thank you, Mr Horsman.
An excellent addition to an excellent article.
Splendid.
THANK YOU! People need to wake up to this and your additions to the article are eye-opening – and terrifying. This has to be stopped.
Thank you for the appreciative comments. Please feel very free to share the points with friends, family, colleagues, and legislators. The substantive, serious issue of this treaty & IHR amendments needs far more attention than it is currently getting relative to, for example, UK politicians’ silly text messages.
While this might be nit picking, it is a crucial nit that really does need to be picked because it punches above its weight for distorting the truth.
Colonialism improved public health around the world. It is a far cry from the abuses of the totalitarian states. The sooner we get away from the colonialism was an evil racist act done by an evil racist people (aka white people) the sooner we can move forward.
It is a stupid and thoughtless comment that divides and gets people offside. White people need to grow a spine and speak up from the get go. Colonialism was not perfect and abuses did happen but what is brought up ad-nauseam is totally out of context because the build up is ignored and the punishment handed down to the abuser is also ignored.
As long as this continues, we will be divided.

So no possibility of reopening a debate at the subsequent World Healthy Assembly in light, for example, of domestic opposition.
7. In his opening address to the May 2022 World Health Assembly, Tedros said
“Only 57 countries have vaccinated 70% of their population – almost all of them high-income countries. We must continue to support all countries to reach 70% vaccination coverage as soon as possible, including 100% of those aged over 60; 100% of health workers; and 100% of those with underlying conditions.” He did not acknowledge that not everyone might consent to being vaccinated so it is reasonable to interpret this comment as a call for mandatory vaccination of certain people. He goes on:
“In some [countries] we see gaps in operational or financial capacity; and in all, we see vaccine hesitancy driven by misinformation and disinformation.”
“WHO’s primary focus now is to support countries to turn vaccines into vaccinations as fast as possible … The pandemic will not magically disappear. But we can end it. We have the knowledge. We have the tools. Science has given us the upper hand.”
8. The WHO has said that “Non-State Actors” [see point 10 below], should “leverage their role as key actors in health emergency prevention, preparedness and response and as active promoters of pandemic and health emergency literacy, particularly in engaging local communities” and “contributing to transparency and timeliness of information with a view to preventing the spread of misinformation”.
9. Thomas Fazi is correct that WHO’s dependence on private funding has increased but they are also looking to extract more resources from national governments & the people they are supposed to represent, to “transform” the WHO. Tedros’s May 2022 address, again:
“I welcome the recommendation of the Working Group on Sustainable Financing to increase assessed contributions to 50% of the core budget over the next decade … I also welcome the recommendation to consider a replenishment model, to broaden our financing base, and to provide more flexible funding for the programme budget. These recommendations could completely transform this Organization.”
10. The second part of the first meeting of the International Negotiating Body (INB) on the treaty agreed in March 2022 on “modalities of engagement for relevant stakeholders”. This provided for a long list (I counted 291 in total at the time but they keep adding to this list) of entities who would be invited to attend and to speak at open session meetings of the INB, and its sub-groups, and to provide comments in writing including on draft materials prepared by those working groups. This includes:
• 19 UN and other intergovernmental organizations in effective relations with WHO, such as the League of Arab States and the International Committee of Military Medicine.
• 8 official “observers:, including Gavi, the Vaccine alliance as one of eight official “observers” along with the Order of Malta, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
• 220(!) “non-State actors in official relations with WHO (as of February 2022), including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA), Oxfam, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Bloomberg Family Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and many other charitable, philanthropic, and trade organisations.
• A further list of 44 other “stakeholders”, including the COVID-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP), the UN Population Fund, and the World Bank.
11. This follows agreement in January 2022 at the WHO’s Executive Board that the should be an “informal pre-meeting for interested non-State actors in official relations, Member States and the Secretariat will be organized annually during the four to six weeks before the World Health Assembly”. No records, minutes, or even attendee lists of any such a meeting were published as far as I can see (happy to stand corrected though if this is not true) but presumably it went ahead. Presumably the second one will be taking place some time this month.
12. In April 2022 the WHO held a series of public hearings and opened up a portal for comments by the “global public.” They received a total of 36,294 written responses. This is from the WHO’s own summary:
“The majority of written contributions proposed that no international instrument should be established.” … “A number of submissions referred to respect for national autonomy and sovereignty, noting that subnational and cultural bodies, and local health entities were better placed to make health decisions at the national level. Such a focus on sovereignty was justified by the differences in national health systems.
The majority of submissions requested that human rights be respected in the process of drafting and negotiating a convention, agreement or other international instrument, including but not limited to the right to bodily autonomy informed by consent, the freedom of information, the freedom from discrimination, and the freedom to choose medical interventions. Several submissions referred to international instruments such as the Nuremberg Code, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration of Helsinki, the Belmont Report, and the Oviedo Convention and its Protocols.“
It would not occur to me to rely on anything said by the WHO or Bill Gates. Or Tony Blair, whilst we are on the subject of human wretchedness.

A great article! It’s about time the general public are made aware that ‘The Emperor has no Clothes’. I worked across the world for a large international development company – whose health programmes were efficiently planned, resourced, effective and timely. Without exception, compatriots I talked to, who represented other international organisations delivering health programmes or responding to disasters, viewed the WHO as largely ineffective, cumbersome and spendthrift. It’s in the mould of the EU – large budgets, large salaries, plush offices, ‘see the world’ at the taxpayers’ expense, a job for life – however ineffective the programme.

WHO are a crime syndicate, one Ian Flemming would have invented for his books if it did not already exist. 1948 it was created as part of the UN… and so that was that, its turn to evil assured. Claus and Tedros and Gates – they basically could play themselves and the whole (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.) SPECTRE would be believable (because it would be).
As a young man I read a biography of one of the first ‘Surgeon Generals of the group which later became WHO, International Sanitary Conference, and Pan American Sanitary Bureau.
These men were scientists/Saints. The Surgeon Generals then were Medical doctors of the highest quality, who served in the Military and became expert on satiation by that, coupled with the international scope. The admiration I feel for these men is absolute. (the US Surgeon General now! WOW, not quite the same)
One of the most stirring books of my lifetime was the creation of the leper Colonies under them, and the astounding young Mid West Americans who would do Seminary, a crash course of doctor and dentist – and ship off to work the Leper Colonies – Never to Marry or Ever to return home as leprosy was contagious, and volunteering to be medical staff was a death sentence. And they did – and went, knowing one day they would cross from the staff side of the colony to the inmate side…. and off off they would go to the very worst possible fate out of love for the lowest and most abandoned of all… They did it for their conviction to Love of mankind, and for God.
This was when it was about Health and serving Mankind.
Now we know it is about enslaving mankind, growing powerful and obscenely wealthy, and likely the WEF and Gates Foundation stated depopulation goals.
A saintly and scientific organization morphed into a satan and twisting science organization under Ted**s and Bill and Melinda, and WEF, and the wicked Welcome Trust, and the whole Bio-Pharma evil – And now they are in grasping reach of taking over the world’s governments in any Plandemic they chose to release next!
Is there anything good to come from modern political things like the NGOs and the UN? I doubt it, they are owned, they are captured by Evil men.
I did not read the article as the WHO make me ill to read on – so I do not address specific details…. I hope Fazi really let them have it.
(edited to say – those young American Missionaries would go all over the world to work the Leper colonies – people who they did not understand, language they did not speak, for life with no parole. I was stirred because I have met this saintly type in odd parts of the world….)

Your doomspeak rants are really tiresome, and mostly insane. It’s pretty amazing that you’re too delicate (or lazy) to read the article, lest you get a tummyache, but have no compunction subjecting others to thousands of words of often sickening dystopian hodgepodge–admittedly, I scroll past it now for the most part (but read your post above as a minimal courtesy)–and somehow don’t seem to make yourself sicker by them, except perhaps in the head.
Do you like anything that still exists in the world, or are you solely against all the evil you see everywhere you look–everywhere, it seems, but the mirror? And heroes of a bygone, largely-imaginary age which I’m quite sure you’d find a way to condemn if they came back and became present-day real people. Good luck with whatever remains sane and benevolent within you. I know you have a sense of humor and I liked your recent “brown acid” joke.
He’s proper fallen down the rabbit hole. His previous incarnations were interesting and his opinions were well written and articulate, now it’s just a load of buzz words copy and pasted from conspiracy theory websites
Difference between a conspiracy theory and a fact – 6 months. Joke.
Remember when the lab leak was a conspiracy?

Good jokes tend to have an element of truth. I like: “Yes I’m paranoid, but that doesn’t mean the world isn’t out to get me!”
Surely the number of true conspiracies falls between zero and all that are logistically possible. Pretty shameful silencing and conspiratorial spin-doctoring on the Wuhan front–checked your link–as well as many aspects of the covid-flu world disaster, from groups of zealots on both sides, one whom I’ll call Plandemicists, the other Follow-the-(changing) science-dogmatists.
Lmao. I like that line too its in a nirvana song called territorial p*ssings.

On the more serious side of the ‘conspiracy’ cult, it’s about thinking independently. It’s not about looking for a conspiracy as such but assessing all the information and drawing your own conclusions. If you draw conclusions that are outside the accepted narrative you are then normally called a conspiracy theorist, or peddler of misinformation.
There are some hilarious conspiracy theories granted. That are not based in any reality.
Just gave it my first ever listen, thanks. A decent Nirvana “deep track”. (I’m a fan but I never had any CDs of theirs).
Fair enough about “conspiracy hound!” and “misinformation-monger!” being thrown around as a reflex or smokescreen.
I mean, I believe that those who voted for the wrong candidates are reptilian pedophiles, but some of the theories are just silly. 😉
I think it was a B side tbh, one of the lesser known and probably not one of their greatest tracks. I have his journals from being into all that years ago, that track and some others are written in them.
But are they reptiles from space or from the sea? You do realise even that crazy crew can’t agree on the origin of their lizard overlords…..

But his act has a fierce and distressingly large following, fellow downvoted “crusader”. I’m gonna take a hopeful stance and chalk it up largely to the Yeats (know it, didn’t show it) lines: “The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity”.
Other lines that seem relevant to the grim mood of many articles and comment boards here:
“The woods of Arcady are dead / And over is their antique joy / Of old the world on dreaming fed / Grey Truth is now her painted toy”
I’ve loved those lines since I saw them in my late teens, but noting that they are from 1895 does put hyper-nostalgic views into perspective, or at least on a longer timeline. O tempora! O mores!
Not Keats. Yeats.
Indeed. A typo or mental transposition I’ve pointed out when made by others. You got me.

The WHO is about old people, people who might have done something in their lives and so get rewarded (put out to grass) in a paying job which makes them feel important. It is American, like The United Nations – also full of similar old people, who are too slow to keep up.
Show us on the doll where the old people hurt you.
Old people hurt you by not being fast enough to react to change. Old people hurt you by knowing that they are right (experience), even when they are wrong.
A large survey of thousands of doctors in the USA showed that the old doctors just couldn’t keep up with modern medicine BUT they thought that they were right because of their holistic approach. They were more likely to be wrong than any young doctor.
Do your parents and grandparents know what you think of them? I wonder how you’ll feel about yourself when you grow up.
I didn’t ever meet my grandparents, who all died before I was born. My father died when I was 19 and my mother when I was 40. My very first record (45rpm) was Wimoweh by Karl Denver, bought from Woolworths.
I have grown up. I just don’t know old people who have anything to offer – except for family support of course and that can often mean money. Maybe church or the WI but that is just old people supporting old people.
What a strange attitude. You’re over 40, and yet still consider yourself young? I’m 51 and my teen kids already view me as a kind of decrepit, incipient dementia case.
Besides is life really all about what you ‘have to offer’? Is it all merely a grey transactional analysis? I hope not!
You at least get the point. It is all too easy to do something important (ish) in your life and then consider that your views are still meaningful as you get older and older.
I spent a lot of time working in Italy and every morning the old, retired men would be kicked out by their wives. They used to meet for hours in the morning in cafés, shouting at the tops of their voices, putting all of the problems of the world to rights. Nobody cared but it was fun.

I do not know about the situation at WHO but – if this article is broadly correct – then surely it is just an example of a wider trend. The state – at both the national and international levels – has got so large and complicated that a few elected ministers are unable to control the various bureaucracies. Instead assorted ideological and corporate interests try to capture the agencies and dictate the agenda. Arrangements which worked well in the nineteenth century are insufficient today.

What concerns me is the complete conviction I have that there is no politician or official institution in this country that will in any way stand against WHO.

Fazi’s loathing of “capitalism” doesn’t excuse the fact that these U.N. Organizations, like the U.N. itself, are unelected, expensive, largely useless, and mostly dangerous. It’s long past time the U.S. ended its relationship with that body and its affiliates. The building on the East River would, with some updates, make a nice and badly-needed homeless shelter for Americans vets.
We could have more unhinged returning vets if America decides to go at it even more on our own against Russia, China and their underlings. Or perhaps we’ll build a wall around the perimeter of the contiguous states and finally confront our homeland nightmares, such as homelessness, drug overdoses, and runaway greed.

“Equity” is not a vague term: it identifies a programme for the complete dismantling of Western capitalism on the grounds that the structures it has produced are rooted in racism and colonialism. If that is the way the WHO is going, the UK should withdraw ASAP.
This seems to me to be the nub of the matter, and your description couldn’t be more succinct.

I wonder what Matt Ridley is doing about this – if anything. He was of course one of the first high-profile people to blow the whistle on the lab-leak hypothesis along with Alina Chan, so he’s well placed to oppose this massive expansion of anti-democratic supranational power.

A great article which i read with huge relief that folk are waking up to the plans underway. Another major funder of the WHO is……. China! That’s why the so called investigation into the lab leak theory, in Wuhan, by the WHO was a complete whitewash and has been discredited ever since. China is cosying up to Russia too much in recent weeks leading to the FBI declaring the lab leak theory the most likely cause.

How do we stop it?
How indeed?
Here in the UK we couldn’t even prevent ‘Sinbad’ & 45,0000 of his chums paddling across the Channel last year, so what chance have we with the dreaded WHO?

This is a very good article but I am surprised it doesn’t mention the way China hi-jacked control of the WHO in May 2017. At that time there was a vote for a new Director-General and Dr David Nabarro of Imperial College was the front runner. China corralled their client state votes, mostly in Africa, to install Tedros instead. He was the first Director-General of the WHO with no medical background whatsoever. He was re-installed, unopposed, in May 2022.
The Covid virus came from China. So did the lockdown policy and so did most of the PPE including billions upon billions of useless, disposable masks, most of which are currently polluting the environment (another aspect that needs investigation), with huge profits for Chinese companies. Why did the WHO change its mask policy in April 2020?
This aspect of what the WHO is currently trying to do needs a lot of further investigation.

A far greater concern that ” post industrial capitalism” has brought, via hoodwinking especially Conservative politicians, is the ” privatisation” of sectors that are immune to competition/ competitive pricing. Ulilities including railways are a prime example, where the consumer has no choice and is a fish in a barrel victim, yet the self same politicians allow post Lehman banks to be bailed out by ” the taxpayer”, and stop North Sea oil and gas so as to pander to eco sandaloid votes so as to keep their own jobs, as well as waste billions on ” private PPE” during Covid?

Bill Gates is running the show, literally.
COVID is his baby, with the UK a most willing participant in this scam.
Consider his speech at the virtual Global Vaccine Summit, hosted by the UK in June 2020
Question is…why was there a ‘vaccine solution’ for Covid-19?
It was known from the beginning that Covid wasn’t a serious threat for most people, so how did we end up with Gates’ insane plan to ‘vaccinate’ the entire global population…over and over again?
This is what must be tracked back now, how was the Covid vaccine plan evaluated and approved, where are the minutes of the meetings?
In June 2020 it was not clear (yet) just how bad things might get. The fear-mongering by the press had everyone shaking in their boots, hiding in their cellars. Vaccines were touted as the solution, and that was not a ridiculous idea. If they stopped the spread. But they didn’t. Vaccinated people were less likely to get severe symptoms or die, but still got infected even more than once. And the death rate and co-morbidity situation was just starting to be understood.
And, of course, Gates has a messiah complex.

Gates’ baby? Covid scam? What a sick and twisted suggestion. I’m uncertain why people believe this conspiratorial garbage that drifts through the internet like a stinking open sewer. You are utterly deranged.
Just for once, we agree.
So you agree with a Global Pandemic Treaty where the Gates funded WHO dictates global responses? And Global Vaccination Passports? I’m astonished by your naivety and your willingness to hand over your freedom of choice to a notoriously corrupt unelected World Health Organisation. Presumably you’ll also be happy to have an underskin identity microchip.
Your words, not mine. I have little to no confidence in the WHO. That doesn’t equate to believing that covid was a scam however or that Gates is some kind of evil bond villain, he’s merely a rich geek with noble intentions but a disconnect with reality.
Disregarding the covid scam issue, If you have little to no confidence in the WHO then you surely must have misgivings about a Global Pandemic Treaty authorising the unelected WHO to dictate mandatory global responses?
Definitely. That is one for the UN General Assembly.

Her suggestion is to find out how mass vaccination became the weapon to use against a virus with a particular vulnerable target (the over 70s) while well argued points of view that opposed this line were silenced and at times demonised.
Your small diatribe against her seems to be a prepared and general attack against…well anyone who disagrees with you.
Now that could well be an interesting discussion. What ruined it however was to start the comment with referring to covid as Gates’ baby and a UK scam, which just makes one appear to be on the lunatic fringe.

Just for once, we agree.
So you agree with a Global Pandemic Treaty where the Gates funded WHO dictates global responses? And Global Vaccination Passports? I’m astonished by your naivety and your willingness to hand over your freedom of choice to a notoriously corrupt unelected World Health Organisation. Presumably you’ll also be happy to have an underskin identity microchip.

Question is…why was there a ‘vaccine solution’ for Covid-19?
It was known from the beginning that Covid wasn’t a serious threat for most people, so how did we end up with Gates’ insane plan to ‘vaccinate’ the entire global population…over and over again?
This is what must be tracked back now, how was the Covid vaccine plan evaluated and approved, where are the minutes of the meetings?
Gates’ baby? Covid scam? What a sick and twisted suggestion. I’m uncertain why people believe this conspiratorial garbage that drifts through the internet like a stinking open sewer. You are utterly deranged.
Bill Gates is running the show, literally.
COVID is his baby, with the UK a most willing participant in this scam.
Consider his speech at the virtual Global Vaccine Summit, hosted by the UK in June 2020
I would be more comfortable with the role of the WHO if it concentrated on fundamentals – e.g. “Don’t cr*p in the drinking water supply” “Boil water before you drink it.” and “Instead of sending most of the foreign aid money to Swiss banks, use some of it to build a sewer system and toilets.”

Gates and co seem to have put in more money than China but have a fraction of the influence. Quite right in most respects; China has a vast population. But some of the most outrageous things complained about here were done in the interests of China, not science or rational debate.
I look forward to a non idealogical, non journalistic, book on what happened with Covid 19.

“This is the aim of two agreements currently under discussion. The first consists of a set of amendments to the existing International Health Regulations, an instrument with force under international law. The second is a new “pandemic treaty” that goes in the same direction as the IHR amendments.“
Who is discussing these issues, where, in what forums? Articles like this fall down for me in creating a very big bogeyman but leaving him ill defined and hidden in shadow.
Democratic government is not completely dead. Name the government departments responsible for these negotiations, the people involved, the timelines. Is this really a well advanced coup, as implied, or an early stage consideration. Clearly there is world wide pushback on the WHOs pandemic handling, how powerful is that movement,, who’s leading it etc.
Some of these pieces are becoming as strident as those on the left stoking fear of the ever imminent right wing violent insurgency.

Many thanks. I wish I’d known about it, I would have signed it.

“Democratic government is not completely dead”.
Delusional. Where have you been for the last 3 years?
Clearly not in the same echo chamber as you.
I think it’s fair to say its wounded but not completely dead. These things are typically cyclical. Once the monsters overreach there’ll be push back, the Nuremburg trials perhaps the best recent example. Sadly the monsters have to do their evil before this happens. If you look very long term the human condition has improved overall despite backward steps along the way – WHO being potentially a big one!

A sensible WHO would take account of the growing population and incentivise the First World to breed more and the already poor Third World less. To increase life expectancy into the heart attack / cancer prone years without a health service who can cope is unkind.

Lots of people here asking how the WHO can enforce its ‘directives’. Err, were you asleep the last two years? Or because you were vaccinated (with what? Do you know?) so you weren’t so badly affected? Point is personal freedoms were removed, many lost their jobs, economies collapsed, and societies turned against each other. But pharma companies got stinking rich, powerful individuals gained excessive influence and governments learned they could “remove” dissent using digital IDs (covid passports). Wake up people the consequences of this are serious – ask any Social Credit bound Chinese citizen.

It appears bizarre to me to ascribe Gates’ choices to a profit motive. He’s spent billions to increase the dividends he receives from his investments in pharmaceutical companies? Get a grip. Rather than focus on solving every problem through the uplift of all societies, he chooses to cure the sick now with vaccines. The former is nebulous, the latter is measurable and real.

What a coalition of interests! – Hancock, Gaites and Tedros. The latter, though he says some crazy stuff (EG concern for Ukranian war victims is racist against black people –BBC News. 13 April 2022) is probably the only one who has genuinely helped others. His record in Ethiopa is best yet for a Minister of Health – if spoilt by his agreeing to wash over Mugabe’s brutal abuses in return for a vote for his WHO election campaign.

A Facebook critic of this article has made the following points:
“Some of the more obvious untruths: 1. The WHO is an advisory UN body which can fund programmes but cannot tell governments what to do; 2. Vaccinations are not imposed on.poor countries. Their collaboration with WHO and NGOS has led to the most dramatic health improvements in history: end of Smallpox, errors inroads in eradicating River virus, malaria, leprosy etc. Etc. In spite of the best efforts of Reagan, IMF etc to defund them. Poor countries are achieving what colonial powers said was impossible. 3. Herd immune to us code for letting old and sick people die. 4. The problem with big pharma is that they are not investing on medicines and vaccines which cost a lot but in sugar water labelled as ‘natural remidies’ (see Ben goldacre ‘bad pharma’ and ‘bad sciebce’. Much more, bit that’s a start.”
Are the above criticisms valid?
