Pandemic Treaty Falters as Talks End Without Agreement

by Will Jones
11 May 2024 9:00 AM

Talks on the WHO Pandemic Treaty have ended without an agreed text, with the next steps up for debate, putting the treaty at risk. The Gazette has more.

Talks to draw up a global pact to help fight future pandemics have ended without a draft agreement, sources close to the process said on Friday.

Negotiators from the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) 194 member states were hoping to have a final draft agreement by the end of Friday, with a view towards adopting the legally-binding text at the World Health Assembly later this month.

But they stopped negotiating on the text at lunchtime and have moved instead to working out how best to continue work on the treaty – either in the next few weeks, months or even years, one official said.

The aim of the document, alongside a series of updates to existing rules on dealing with pandemics, is to shore up the world’s defences against new pathogens after the COVID-19 pandemic killed millions of people.

But there have been deep disagreements throughout the negotiating process, particularly around equity, and the timeline for reaching an agreement was always ambitious, experts said. The accord, commonly known as a treaty, has also become politicised in some countries.

Worth reading in full.

The WHO issued a press release on Friday where it claimed negotiations will continue on the draft text ahead of the vote on May 27th.

Governments of the world today agreed to continue working on a proposed pandemic agreement, and to further refine the draft, ahead of the 77th World Health Assembly that starts May 27th 2024.

Governments meeting at the World Health Organisation headquarters in Geneva agreed to resume hybrid and in-person discussions over coming weeks to advance work on critical issues, including around a proposed new global system for pathogen access and benefits sharing (i.e., life-saving vaccines, treatments and diagnostics); pandemic prevention and One Health; and the financial coordination needed to scale up countries’ capacities to prepare for and respond to pandemics.

However, with no text agreed in the current talks, the prospect of arriving at a draft that can be put to a vote at the end of May is looking increasingly remote.

Ditto. ”future pandemics”? Future *PsyOps*, more like. Anyone still using the dratted ‘P’ word on the regular, thereby legitimizing it, is an out and out moron. I don’t care if you’re part of the so-called ‘freedom movement’ or not, because in my opinion, you’re demonstrably part of the problem.

Have to say I agree.

IIn conversation I refer to the whole episode as either the covid nonsense or the covid bullshit, depending on who I’m speaking to. It’s chunkier than “pandemic” but words matter.

Not succumbing to language capture is the one thing that everyone can do and it does make a difference. It makes people think.

I refer to it as the ‘scamdemic’ or ‘plandemic’.

Pretty uncontroversial comment on this site you’d have thought, but the children of the We Don’t Like Free Lemming Because He Criticises Feminism, Fan Club still can’t help but downvote. Perhaps puberty is a life-long condition for some people?

A colleague of mine, over one of those infernal Zoom conference calls in April 2020, after I had demonstrated simple arithmetic to prove the numbers of people dying every day were completely normal, said to me,

“Joe, you’re crazy, mate. it’s OBVIOUSLY a dangerous pandemic! This is not just your little UK Government saying it is: they’re ALL saying it is! Every single country! Countries never agree on anything, but they are now, so it must be true! Otherwise, why would they all agree?!”

I asked him if he did not see the problem with his logic.

Anyway, it’s nice to see that with the failure of this “global pact” imminent, that things are getting back to some normality. Glorious. It’s this inability to agree on anything that makes travel – and life itself – so endlessly entertaining.

“Vaccine Passports” – hahahahahahahahhhahaa! Not saying it’s impossible, but…

Their empty lives, given meaning…

Same with the man made climate change BS.

When the problem is presented as global, with global “solutions” necessary, and that more tax is needed to fund the “solutions”, you know it’s a scam. People with empty lives love to support scams. It gives them an opportunity to harangue others for “not doing enough” with the freedom of knowing that no-one will ever be able to prove that they themselves did not do enough.

This shit festival is a long way from over M A k. Mark my words. Too much money has been spent for the Davos Deviants not to see a return. This is war and blood will have to be spilt before it ends. Hopefully theirs otherwise humanity is totally tom ducked.

This is a dangerous time. It’s the point at which some sort of ‘interim agreement’ might be reached. Just temporary, of course, until we can refine the details of the proper agreement.

I welcome the development but I am mindful that it isn’t because “our side” won out and good sense prevailed.

f the whole thing has broken down it seems to be because “our enemies” are bickering amongst themselves about issues that we don’t consider remotely important but they do, namely how many jabs each country should give away to poorer countries.

What irony that we may have dodged this bullet, for now at least, because our government is fighting to hold on jabs that I personally don’t want any piece of.

It doesn’t exactly fill me with hope for the future knowing that I only get my way when the government overplays its hand trying to get the opposite of what I want.

Well this fifth column certainly don’t care about sovereignty, the amount of MPs that do falls into insignificance.
