The WHO hasn't given up on its Pandemic Treaty, but has given itself another year to reach agreement. Most alarming was that in Geneva only six countries insisted on defending their sovereignty, says Dr Thi Thuy Van Dinh.
As two retirees who never attended a protest march before March 2020 but were galvanised by the draconian Covid response, Louise Pilcher and Rosie Thomas felt they had to be at the anti-WHO protest in Geneva.
The World Health Assembly's adoption of the IHR amendments last week paves the way for endless 'public health emergencies' under the control and supervision of the WHO, warns Dr David Bell.
All eyes are on the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva, where the fate of the draft amendments to the International Health Regulations and the draft Pandemic Agreement is being decided.
Real 'pandemic preparedness' doesn't mean obsessive surveillance before locking down and rolling out a vaccine. It means helping people build healthy and resilient immune systems in their daily lives, says Dr David Bell.
Stop the WHO! There's a new convoy brewing, this time to Geneva at the end of this month to stop the Pandemic Treaty, which is to be discussed at that time at the World Health Assembly.
"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.
The WHO is pressing ahead with its amendments to the International Health Regulations despite missing the deadline for finalising them by several months, in brazen contempt of the rule of law.
Fourteen Australian Senators and MPs have written to the Prime Minister demanding that he reject the impending WHO Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations as violations of national autonomy.
A new draft of the WHO Pandemic Agreement was released at the end of April. Dr Thi Thuy Van Dinh and Dr David Bell have read it (so you don't have to) and say it's still full of problems.
