WHO no longer needs a pandemic to declare one

Understanding the purpose of the Pandemic Treaty

The WHO's proposed pandemic treaty, which has not been approved by the member states (as of yet), is an agreement that would, among other things, regulate economic terms between the WHO, the State Parties (the different countries), and private businesses related to patent protections and the production of medical devices[fn]. The amended International Health Regulations (IHR), page 5, refers to relevant health products that “may include medicines, vaccines, diagnostics, medical devices, vector control products, personal protective equipment, decontamination products, assistive products, antidotes, cell- and gene-based therapies, and other health technologies”[/fn] around the world, as Spanish doctor Dr. Natalia Prego Cancelo explained in her substack. Abrogated rights to intellectual property and economic gain resulting therefrom would negatively impact Pharma and the countries that benefit from Pharma's “largesse.”

On the other hand, poorer countries did not want to provide wealthier countries with information about the pathogens they may discover and not be able to afford the resulting vaccines, as the Associated Press described their concerns:

Meanwhile, many developing countries said it’s unfair that they might be expected to provide virus samples to help develop vaccines and treatments, but then be unable to afford them.

The pandemic treaty was expected to be the economic means by which the WHO's funders (primarily Bill Gates and Pharma) would benefit from implementing the IHR regulations, as Frontline News reported.

The International Health Regulations amendments

The IHR, which date back to 2005, enable the WHO to declare “public health emergencies of international concern” and provide guidance to member countries on countermeasures.

The amendments were designed to give the WHO unilateral power to declare pandemics and tell countries or localities what countermeasures they must utilize. Since some of the proposed amendments have been adopted (others with more far-reaching implications have not) the WHO found cause to celebrate.

However, as Dr. Prego Cancelo warned, “the approval of the amendments to the IHR at the World Health Assembly should not be a one-dimensional celebration as it has been by the WHO, but a call for critical reflection and citizen vigilance. Behind the facade of global progress and cooperation are shadows of opacity and possible abuses of power that should not be overlooked.”

In other words, there were a lot of shenanigans employed in order to get the amendments approved.

As Kat Lindley stated in her tweet, there was no vote on the amendments but a “consensus” among the few attendees.

The Assembly webcast screenshot (@1:32:50) below shows that very few delegates were in attendance.

Declaring a “potential pandemic” that hasn't happened yet

One of the concerns that Dr. Prego Cancelo voiced is that “the amendments also expand the circumstances in which a pandemic emergency can be declared,” so that a pandemic can “be based solely on a potential risk, rather than a confirmed fact.” Particularly controversial, she stated, was the definition of a pandemic emergency which lacked clarity regarding who has the ability to declare a pandemic and what the criteria are. She says that without greater specificity about what a pandemic is, pandemics can be politically influenced.

Without a clear definition of the exact procedures to be followed to assess the situation, it opens up the possibility that the pandemic declaration is subject to subjective interpretations or political influences. Unilateral determination of an internationally important public health emergency (ESPII-PHEIC) can have significant implications for human rights and civil liberties, especially if they are used to justify extreme measures that limit individual freedoms.

What is a pandemic?

The WHO has been watering down the definition of pandemic to allow increased pandemic declarations.

Pandemic defined - 2003

This is the archived definition in 2003. Note the requirement for an enormous number of deaths and illness.

An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness. With the increase in global transport and communications, as well as urbanization and overcrowded conditions, epidemics due the new influenza virus are likely to quickly take hold around the world.

Pandemic defined 2009

The definition was changed on May 5, 2009, to mean even mild illness and low numbers of deaths.

A disease epidemic occurs when there are more cases of that disease than normal. A pandemic is a worldwide epidemic of a disease. An influenza pandemic may occur when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity. With the increase in global transport, as well as urbanization and overcrowded conditions in some areas, epidemics due to a new influenza virus are likely to take hold around the world, and become a pandemic faster than before. WHO has defined the phases of a pandemic to provide a global framework to aid countries in pandemic preparedness and response planning. Pandemics can be either mild or severe in the illness and death they cause, and the severity of a pandemic can change over the course of that pandemic.

Pandemic undefined 2024

In the IHR amendments approved (page 4), there is no definition of “pandemic” but of “pandemic emergency:”

“pandemic emergency” means a public health emergency of international concern that is caused by a communicable disease and:

(i) has, or is at high risk of having, wide geographical spread to and within multiple States; and

(ii) is exceeding, or is at high risk of exceeding, the capacity of health systems to respond in those States; and

(iii) is causing, or is at high risk of causing, substantial social and/or economic disruption, including disruption to international traffic and trade; and

(iv) requires rapid, equitable and enhanced coordinated international action, with whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches.

Note that there doesn't have to be an actual “emergency” but a potential one and that there is no mention of the degree of illness or even deaths as a requirement. Many benign diseases are “communicable.”

Furthermore, we've learned during COVID that hospitals had not been overrun like we were told

Wide Awake Media's tweet below shows empty hospital corridors that they did not want you to see.

Debbie Hicks was arrested, convicted of a public order offence and fined for filming a completely empty hospital in December 2020—at a time when we were told repeatedly that the hospitals were "overwhelmed"—in an attempt to prove that the so-called "pandemic" was a scam.

Similarly, the economic and social disruption and the disruption of international traffic were caused by countermeasures we have since learned were made up and ineffective. Socioeconomic impact was also an artifact of the countermeasures and not the virus.

As shown in Erin Elizabeth Health Nut News's tweet below, showing congressional hearings into the COVID countermeasures, Dr. Fauci “lied about jabs, masks, ivermectin and much more.”

This leaves the WHO free to declaring frequent “pandemic emergencies” and draconian countermeasures at will.

How the Pandemic Treaty and IHR were designed to work in tandem

The WHO's explanation of the International Health Regulations includes the following:

The IHR are an instrument of international law that is legally-binding on 196 countries, including the 194 WHO Member States. The IHR grew out of the response to deadly epidemics that once overran Europe. They create rights and obligations for countries, including the requirement to report public health events. The Regulations also outline the criteria to determine whether or not a particular event constitutes a “public health emergency of international concern”. (Emphasis added.)

The reference to deadly epidemics that “once overran” Europe essentially means that there are no more. This also means that for the IHR to have any purpose, new pandemics must be continuously “found.” And for Bill Gates and Pharma, WHO's primary funders, and globalists to benefit from new pandemics, the pandemic treaty would put in place the intellectual property and economic/manufacturing requirements for what Dr. David Bell termed “the greatest show on earth.”
