A letter to the WHO dating March 20 “was published by Project Syndicate, a commentary website supported by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the MasterCard Foundation, the World Bank and the Google Digital News Initiative.” These names and foundations should already by now be telling the readers, something – and that something wicked here comes.
According to an article by The Defender, this open letter, dated March 20, more than 100 former leaders and public figures urged “the World Health Organization (WHO) member states to finalize a new ‘pandemic accord‘ in time for the 77th World Health Assembly, set to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, May 27-June 1.“
I will get to these former leaders and public figures in another piece.
“A pandemic accord is critical to safeguard our collective future. Only a strong global pact on pandemics can protect future generations from a repeat of the COVID-19 crisis, which led to millions of deaths and caused widespread social and economic devastation.”
Critics of the proposed pandemic accord told The Defender that the letter is deceiving because it addresses the proposed accord, or ‘Pandemic Treaty,’ but doesn’t reference the amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR).
The IHR amendments, proposed in 2023, are being negotiated concurrently with the accord. Critics of the letter said it is meant to deflect attention from what they argue are the more onerous proposals contained in the IHR amendments.
Dr. David Bell, a public health physician, biotech consultant and former director of Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund, told The Defender the letter is ‘quite shameful’ and ‘deceitful.‘”
Well, nothing new as they always use fuzzy language so to deceive whole nations. It is the same, old trick, you know.
The Defender continues:
“Bell said:
‘[The letter] follows the lead of the director general in misleading the public but claiming, rightly, that the pandemic agreement does not include provisions that hand over authority from countries to the WHO, when these are in the proposed amendments to the IHR that accompanies the pandemic accord.
‘The proposed IHR amendments specifically mention border closures, mandated vaccination and other measures now associated with lockdowns. They specifically mention documentation being needed to cross borders and mention digital passports as one of the alternatives.’
Dutch attorney Meike Terhorst told The Defender the open letter ‘only refers to the pandemic accord to confuse everybody. The real meat is in the IHR amendments, because on the basis of the amendments, the director general of WHO is anticipated to get independent legislative and executive powers while any legal review is made impossible,” Terhorst said. “The secrecy surrounding the drafts suggest that we are dealing with a coup d’état.’
Independent journalist James Roguski and Dr. Kat Lindley, president of the Global Health Project and director of the Global COVID Summit, Lindley pointed out that the IHR amendments do pose a threat to nations’ sovereignty. Lindley said the IHR amendments will make the WHO the “global authority on health in the event of new pandemics, which they clearly feel will be happening over and over again” and may pave the way for “future vaccine mandates and the imposition of digital health passes.
‘If you don’t pay attention to anything else, you must pay attention to Article 18 of the IHR amendments,’ Lindley said.
According to Article 18 of the proposed IHR amendments, “Recommendations issued by WHO to States Parties with respect to persons may include the following advice:
- Review proof of medical examination and any laboratory analysis.
- Require medical examinations.
- Review proof of vaccination or other prophylaxis.
- Require vaccination or other prophylaxis.
- Place suspect persons under public health observation.
- Implement quarantine or other health measures for suspect persons.
- Implement isolation and treatment where necessary of affected persons.
- Implement tracing of contacts of suspect or affected persons.
- Refuse entry of suspect and affected persons.
- Refuse entry of unaffected persons to affected areas.
- Implement exit screening and/or restrictions on persons from affected areas.
‘Even more troubling,’ Roguski said, are proposed amendments to Annex 6 which ’empower the WHO to be the sole authority empowered to determine which ‘vaccines’ or other prophylaxis would be deemed to be acceptable for international travel.’
The language in the amendments ‘clearly changes the relationship the WHO has with the member states,’ Lindley said. ‘Article 1 changes non-binding recommendations to binding obligations.’
Roguski said the pandemic accord is ‘not about health’ but ‘a trade agreement designed to transfer wealth from the nations of the ‘Global North’ to the oligarchs of the Pharmaceutical Hospital Emergency Industrial Complex in the ‘Global South.’”
