"Surely Parliament will get the chance to vote on the WHO Pandemic Treaty," has been a common refrain. Not according to the Government, which repeatedly refused to assure MPs they would get a say on the binding agreement.
Despite a retreat from the egregious overreach seen in earlier drafts, the WHO's proposed Pandemic Accords will still give the WHO control over how future pandemics are managed, warns campaign group UsForThem.
The WHO has overplayed its hand and support for its global technocratic ambitions is draining away, say Molly Kingsley and Ben Kingsley. Key deadlines are being missed as agreement on the Pandemic Treaty remains elusive.
Just 30% of the public think the Government was honest about the need for Covid restrictions and just 40% of 18-35 year-olds think it was honest about Covid vaccines – new polling reveals plummeting public confidence.
In December 2021, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla was given the BBC's stage to promote his vaccine to children, describing it as "completely completely" beneficial. UsForThem complained that this was misleading – and won.
