From the take the wins when you get them file, the World Health Organization has gone into its yearly meeting with health ministers absent any agreement on a global Pandemic Treaty.
Roland Driece, co-chair of W.H.O.’s negotiating board for the agreement, acknowledged countries were unable to deliver an agreed proposal. W.H.O. had hoped a final draft treaty could be agreed on at its yearly meeting of health ministers starting Monday in Geneva.
“We are not where we hoped we would be when we started this process,” he said, adding that finalizing an international agreement on how to respond to a pandemic was critical “for the sake of humanity” even as a host of countries disagreed with the basic principle that unelected, unaccountable, health bureaucrats could somehow decide major global decisions on government policies.
That’s a huge win, but they are not giving up.
Addressing a sullen final day of negotiations, the W.H.O. chief insisted, “This is not a failure.”
“We will try everything — believing that anything is possible — and make this happen because the world still needs a pandemic treaty,” Tedros said. “Because many of the challenges that caused a serious impact during COVID-19 still exist.”
Challenges like lying about the threat, lying about mortality, lying about nonpharmaceutical interventions, and lying about the safety and efficacy of existing drugs. Lying about the safety and efficacy of the (mandated/preferred) inoculation. It is the shortlist, I know, but you also know that the pandemic treaty didn’t address any of these “challenges.” It did, however, try very hard to make it illegal to question all the lying. What, exactly, that has to do with health remains a mystery.
We have several ‘States’ (like the UK) to thank for the treaty’s current state of interoperability, but none of them are the United States. Biden was in favor, as are his media allies, who insist there is no conspiracy to enact global health governance. Of course, these are the same entities responsible not just for the dissemination of the lies listed in the previous paragraph but also for working to discredit and silence anyone who dared to contradict them.
In other words, don’t put this win to bed. The Left never gives up on anything, and yes, pushing back is exhausting, but “Tyranny Never Rests – So Neither Shall We.”
