Contrary to the X memes, the claim that the WHO is largely funded by private sources is not only false but wildly misleading, says Robert Kogon. In fact, it is around 90% funded by states.
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.
Colds, flu and Covid are mainly spread through the air and not by sharing cups and getting close to one another, World Health Organisation experts have suggested in a new report.
Britain would have to surrender 20% of its pandemic-related health products, including vaccines, and refrain from stockpiling supplies, under revised terms of the WHO's new pandemic treaty.
Serious problems remain in the new draft amendments to the WHO International Health Regulations, say Dr. David Bell and Dr. Thi Thuy Van Dinh as they provide a full annotated guide.
The WHO's Dr. Hanna Nohynek testified in court that she advised her Government that vaccine passports were not needed but was ignored, despite explaining that the Covid vaccines did not stop virus transmission.
A new study published in the Lancet and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation on the "Global Burden of Disease" has laid bare the failure of pandemic interventions such as lockdowns and vaccines.
The World Health Organisation is gearing up to persuade the world's governments to sign a new pandemic treaty that would allow the unelected body to seize power over nation states in future pandemics, warns Matt Ridley.
The bargain offered to countries by the WHO Pandemic Treaty is clear: give up some independence in return for safety. But not only is that a poor trade, ceding power to this incompetent body wouldn't make us any safer.
