Former UN Assistant Secretary-General Ramesh Thakur has warned of a massive expansion of the international pandemic bureaucracy and the powers of the WHO to press countries towards authoritarian public health measures.

The new WHO pandemic treaty continues to move forward, but the last thing we need is the WHO putting the world on permanent alert and pushing for 'precautionary' lockdowns every time a bat sneezes or a lab leaks.

Many are concerned that the US amendments to the WHO pandemic treaty will transfer sovereignty over public health policy to an unelected and unaccountable global organisation. How worried should we be?
