The World Health Organisation is to make lockdowns and other non-pharmaceutical interventions intended to curb viral spread part of official pandemic guidance.
The revelation comes in a report scheduled to go to the WHO’s World Health Assembly later this month. This is not part of a new pandemic treaty and does not require the endorsement of member states. The report says the implementation is already underway.
Many have raised the alarm about a new WHO pandemic treaty. However, as I’ve noted previously (and as Michael Senger notes here), there isn’t a new pandemic treaty on the table. Rather, there are amendments to the existing treaty, the International Health Regulations 2005, plus other recommendations (131 in all) put forward in a report from the Working Group on Strengthening WHO Preparedness and Response to Health Emergencies.
Most of these amendments and recommendations relate to information and resource sharing and preparation for future pandemics; none of them directly interferes with state sovereignty in the sense of allowing the WHO to impose or lift measures. However, that doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous, as they endorse and codify the appalling errors of the last two years, which began with China’s Hubei lockdown on January 23rd 2020.
The recommendations in the report originate from WHO review panels and committees and were sent out in a survey in December 2021 to member states and stakeholders to seek their views.
Non-pharmaceutical interventions appear three times in the recommendations, once under “equity” and once under “finance”, where states are urged to ensure “adequate investment in” and “rapid development, early availability, effective and equitable access to novel vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and non-pharmaceutical interventions for health emergencies, including capacity for testing, scaled manufacturing and distribution”.
While rapid development and early availability of non-pharmaceutical interventions sounds worrying enough, it could be interpreted in a number of ways by states.
Where it really gets alarming, however, is in the “leadership and governance” section. LPPPR 29 states (emphasis added):
Apply non-pharmaceutical public health measures systematically and rigorously in every country at the scale the epidemiological situation requires. All countries to have an explicit evidence-based strategy agreed at the highest level of government to curb COVID-19 transmission.
The requirement that a country’s pandemic strategy must aim to curb viral transmission is a major change from the current guidance. The U.K.’s existing pandemic preparedness strategy, prepared in line with previous WHO recommendations, is completely clear that no attempt should be made to stop viral transmission as it will not be possible and will waste valuable resources, stating as such in three places:
It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic influenza virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.
Page 28
It almost certainly will not be possible to contain or eradicate a new virus in its country of origin or on arrival in the U.K. The expectation must be that the virus will inevitably spread and that any local measures taken to disrupt or reduce the spread are likely to have very limited or partial success at a national level and cannot be relied on as a way to ‘buy time’.
Page 29
It will not be possible to stop the spread of, or to eradicate, the pandemic influenza virus, either in the country of origin or in the U.K., as it will spread too rapidly and too widely.
Page 15
But now the WHO says that curbing viral transmission is to be the aim of pandemic response. This is a disaster.
Worse, the report says this recommendation will be incorporated into the WHO’s “normative work”, meaning it will be part of official WHO guidance to states in responding to a pandemic. Worse still, it says it’s already being implemented – it doesn’t need a treaty or the agreement of member states to do this, it’s already happening.
Expect to see new guidance appearing at the international and national levels over the coming months and years which incorporate this presumption that restrictions should be imposed to curb viral spread. This is despite the last two years only confirming the wisdom of the WHO’s previous guidance that this is not possible and not worth the attempt.
This matter must be raised at the highest levels so that lockdowns and other non-pharmaceutical interventions are kept out of all pandemic planning.

The lock-downs from an American perspective.
Given the global nature of the ‘pandemic’ / fig leaf for global financial domination, I suspect that the U.K. and the E.U. etc are largely subject to the same treason.

“But now the WHO says that curbing viral transmission is to be the aim of pandemic response.”
Ehh nope, “curbing viral transmission” by lockdown is to continue gaslighting & fearmongering the sheeple into submission & capitulation to the gazillionaire’s authoritarian takeover & commencement of a one world government to revert us all to serfdom. They care not a jot about us.
But it will be fine, because we’ll all own nothing & we’ll be happy!!
Interesting that the IPPR_29 recommendation specifically references Covid-19, as opposed to general pathogens.
“ll countries to have an explicit evidence-based strategy agreed at the highest level of government to curb COVID-19 transmission.”
So on the face of it, this recommendation would only apply to covid, although that might be a typo of course. In any case, indicates the extent to which the whole exercise is just a response to the recent “crisis” (sic).
Trofim Lysenko approves of this.
I wrote to the local MP about this some days ago and did get a reply which amounted to “we will discuss this in Parliament”. So no confidence that they will not agree to it. The whole system is corrupt and not really “our” government at all.
RESIST DEFY DO NOT COMPLY!
Indeed; it only needs a sufficient number to do that and trash their evil plans.
When these corrupt “Public Health Globalists” attempt to enforce their recommendations, behoves everyone to ask WHO?
As is “WHO the fcuk are you to order me about?”
Most folks have awakened to the corruption of the world hell organisation & now know that are are influenced by money , politics & all intentions other than health . They are sinister . Lying , cheats , pharma fed gangsters & unelected . Not that the crooked elected , did any favours to us . WHO is a destruction machine . A great reset tool . Sinister & dishonest. We want them out of our lives .
I’m afraid you’re wrong. Most folks haven’t woken up ….. although a small minority have, and a much larger minority are starting to at least question the propaganda.
It is bigger than a “small minority” and, yes, more people are wising up to the machinations here and abroad.
What “appalling errors”?

The guidance and recommendations are intended to justify and codify the stupidity of the international community in turning a minor pandemic into a totally self-inflicted global catastrophe. WHO is owned lock stock and barrel by China and most western states including ours are very much in the orbit of this new emerging evil empire. The global panicdemic demonstrated this for all the world to see if only they would open their eyes.
I’m not worried, I ignored all the last lockdowns and rules and will again. Who’s going to enforce it? Our Keystone Cop police force 🙄
The fact that the WHO endorses a so-called intervention shown to cause far more damage than it prevents says all you need to know about delivering our healthcare into such careless and cavalier hands.
Sign that petition. And should it fail, be prepared to do whatever it takes your nation’s and your own health sovereignty.
Science has proven that the earth is flat. We are saved.
From a Darwinian perspective, one could argue that the previously free Western people deserve to be crushed and turned into slaves like this. If they are too stupid to realise where the problem lies, and are happy for a few hundred unelected suits in Geneva and Zurich to control their health and economic policies, and they fail to act against it, then they deserve to be swept away onto the ash heap of history. if they don’t act, they are too stupid and weak to deserve to progress into the future.
And yet we know countries that completely ignored WHO advice had lower death rates.
This is not about pandemics. The people who stole the US election are unelected, illegitimate despots fronted by Joseph Biden who they used to submit these insane amendments to the WHO pandemic treaty back in January. It is a major step on the road to totalitarian globalist rule and must be totally ignored. If I don’t like the way my government handle healthcare, I can vote for the other party, but not after this.
Any Western leader who signed this treaty has committed treason.
I don’t want to sound negative or pushing for violence as I still hold on to this thought that discourse can settle disagreements not just in life but within the geopolitical theatre but I truly believe we collectively are going to face a scenario where Government’s will authorise their police/army to shoot on their own citizens. Not rubber bullets but live rounds.
The WHO is merely a communitarian, authoritarian, collectivist commu-fascist entity has nothing to do with health policy but merely masquerades as an entity which has to do with health policy. They don’t care about your health, if they did then they wouldn’t be advocating for Lockdowns as we know Lockdowns are the equivalent of destroying all your clothes to get rid of a moth, the collateral damage is only starting to come out.
I believe after this treaty the WHO could realistically ask UN soldiers to enter a disobedient state. Using foreign soldiers against insurrections is always better because men don’t like using lethal force on their own people.
the WHO is like a jack in the box that wont F-off
We must hope this will lead to the erosion of the authority of the WHO. Recommending measures that have shown themselves to be not only useless but devastating to public health, welfare and economy may well ruin their credibility. Let us not forget the effects of the lockdowns are only just beginning to show themselves. We are headed into an unprecedented recession.
What is the point of signing the Petition? A recent survey of results has clearly shown that petitions are simply a sop to the people, and are routinely ignored….
What’s the point of not doing it? If nothing else, it’s a way to feed some real-world information about how … people think about a certain issue into the political machinery. This may and likely will be of no immediate use. But it’s at least one thing people can easily do.
Readers’ comments in The Daily Mail also shape the world we live in…… so it is said.
“What is the point of signing the Petition?”
So you can tell others you have, and feel all righteous about your virtue signalling.
“At least I tried to do something – what have you done??!!”, they screech, in the hope of gaining some more ‘street cred’ and Brownie points.
Yes it is referenda we need
Today’s top tip: Don’t bother writing to your MP regarding the WHO pandemic treaty. This is the response being sent out:
Thank you for contacting me about a potential new international Pandemic Treaty.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the greatest challenges to the established international order since the Second World War; a global threat that has required global solutions borne out of global cooperation. It has been immensely heartening to have seen the peoples and nations of the world pull together as they have. I pay tribute to all, everywhere.
As in the late 1940s, where, to avert a repeat of the cataclysm of total war, world leaders came together to establish the multilateral system we have today, I think it is reasonably fair to argue that a similar effort is required on the part of world leaders to strengthen preparedness for potential future pandemics.
As such, I welcome the suggestion of the Prime Minister, writing with other world leaders last year, that the international community should commit to producing a new international treaty for pandemic preparedness and response. I am told that such a treaty would aim to foster greatly enhanced cooperation in future pandemics, by further… Read more »
This is the required response. The Chief Whip, and MP Laura Farris have replied verbatim.
This is very useful. It means that letters can be carefully crafted to address all of the points which are made…
But they still won’t take any notice. It has been decided and it will be ratified. Both wings of the LabCon party will go along with the international groupthink.
Yes, absolutely.
Spouting off about convid as “the greatest challenge since the Second World War” just goes to show MPs really are ventriloquist’s dummies.
Indeed.
I did say it was a waste of time writing to your MP.
Of course, I already knew it was. Doesn’t hurt for them to know we have their number though.
Its about time that people generally realised that this is but the latest small step in something that has been affecting their lives for at least the last 3 decades.
Almost all aspects of people’s lives are governed by trans national agreements under the auspices of the UN and their offshoots. All nations and international bodies such as the EU have signed on to these. The ordinary person has no ,absolutely no influence in these agreements. You may vote for a different national government, you may try to influence the likes of the EU , but its not them that decide these policies.
Read Iain Davies, he has it right. The power in the world, at least in the anglosphere and EU, is in the hands of the unelected matrix of organisations associated with the UN, the corporates, the investment banks , the central banks, and a small group of billionaires.
The WHO is one of these organisations, but there are many others all determining your lives.
Not a conspiracy or theory. It’s in plain sight!!!

“World Order 2.0.” God save us.
Remember all the hypocrisy and illogical bumblings of our leaders over the past two years? Yeah that was all deliberately staged theatre to be later referenced as the reason why the WHO should take control next time.
Astute observation.
Before they lock us down for MonkeyBumPox, has anyone found out how many of the infected are jab addicts?
Is this the same WHO whose guidance until recently said that lockdowns don’t work for pandemics?
It can’t be, can it?
And the same WHO that is contyrolled by the CCP, apparently.
No government has had ouir authority and Parliament has had no authority to permit them to sign up to subjugation by the international; political class, of which WHO is becoming one of the most offensive.
Better Off Outr of the UN if this is what they are about, and I have no doubt that it is what they want. Just as with the EU, this has been done TO the British people not for us or with our approval or even our knowledge.
Even the Brexit argument was a diversion. To a great extent the EU was a middle man passing on the diktats of higher level supranational bodies – UN, WTO, IMF, World bank, WHO, and so on. Now we get the diktats direct. That’s why it makes f*** all difference whether we are in or out of the EU or whether we have a Labour or a Conservative Government.
Off topic but has anyone else noticed the high levels of radiation close to Pripyat? currently 5540 nSv/h
I’ve searched for the auto monitoring data and can’t find it. Do you have a link?
A computer salesman who apologised for frequently visiting a bad man (cough), is the biggest individual donor to the World Health Organisation (WHO) – who want to take control of 194 countries sovereign health laws during a pandemic. This isn’t democracy, it’s technocratic totalitarianism.
That’s it, I’m outta here … movin’ to Florida, In Santos We Trust.
