WHO mobilizes youth in renewed push for pandemic treaty
On Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded its first in-person Global Model WHO, a simulated World Health Assembly similar to Model UN. The globalist organization welcomed 350 youth delegates from 52 countries to the week-long event, where attendees collaborated on issues high on the WHO’s priority list like climate change and polio vaccines. The highlight of the week, said the WHO, was when the youth delegates signed a declaration demanding countries sign the “Pandemic Agreement.”
For over two years, the WHO has been attempting to introduce a pandemic agreement that it claims will “strengthen global pandemic prevention, preparedness and response to prevent a repeat of the health, social and economic impacts that were caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The agreement has been the subject of controversy, mainly for giving WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus singular power to declare pandemics for countries around the world. Once a pandemic is declared, governments would be obliged to respond to the “emergency” with such measures as suppressing “misinformation” and cracking down on taxpayers who are non-compliant with public health measures.
In May, 24 Republican governors joined a growing chorus of voices opposing the agreement. That same month, the WHO announced it had failed to produce a final draft of the agreement to be signed at the World Health Assembly. Negotiations had reportedly broken down, frustrating Ghebreyesus and other WHO officials.
Now it seems the WHO is renewing its push for an agreement, this time using young people to urge governments to hammer out a final draft. The youth delegates claimed that “only through coordinated action we can protect the lives, well-being, and futures of our generation.”
Ghebreyesus said in a statement: “This generation is instrumental in shaping a safer, fairer, and healthier world, and the voices of today’s youth are essential in driving effective solutions for global health crises.”
What does the agreement say?
Recent drafts of the pandemic treaty would crack down on taxpayers who disobey mandates, among other measures.
In Article 18 of the agreement, the WHO clarifies that governments must promote “pandemic literacy” — a strategy which, like media literacy, tells the public who to trust and suppresses “misinformation.”
“The Parties shall strengthen science, public health and pandemic literacy in the population, as well as access to information on pandemics and their effects and drivers, and combat false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation, including through effective international collaboration and cooperation,” the agreement states.
In addition, governments should craft policies that will quash non-compliance with “public health and social measures” and promote trust in the government.
“The Parties shall, as appropriate, conduct research and inform policies on factors that hinder adherence to public health and social measures in a pandemic and trust in science and public health institutions,” says the document.
Member states are also instructed to rope in the private sector for pandemic-related activities.
Other provisions in the agreement require governments to take an authoritarian approach to pandemics that go beyond mere regulations and extend to social engineering. In Article 17, for example, governments must not only develop public health policies but also “social policies” aimed at “mobilizing social capital in communities for mutual support.”
A pretense to prescribe global policies
The WHO would also be able to use public health as a pretext to dictate global policy. In one clause, for example, the WHO demands that governments “encourage ceasefires in affected countries during pandemics to promote global cooperation against common global threats.” In another clause, countries must enforce “gender equality” and place more women in leadership positions to create a proper “health and care workforce.”
Governments would be permitted to withdraw from the pandemic agreement only after waiting two years after signing it, following which the agreement will still remain in effect for that nation for another year as the withdrawal does not take effect immediately.
During that time, the WHO can declare a pandemic at any time and for any reason. Such reasons might include a virus like COVID-19, a social condition like loneliness, or an alleged phenomenon like “climate change.”
