| Earlier this month The World Health Organization (WHO), behind closed doors, illegally enacted revised International Health Regulations (IHR) that would dictate how each nation should respond if another health pandemic occurs. According to our dear friend Tedros (the WHO Director-General), in the waning moments of the May 27 – June 1 World Health Assembly in Geneva “there was a ‘consensus'” so the now “legally binding” IHRs were simply enacted without a floor vote (contrary to the established rules and protocols).Only one-third of member nations were present for the final approval session and only 37 out of the 194 member nations supported the revised IHRs, including the U.S. delegation.Argentina, Belarus, Costa Rica, Iran, Russia, and Slovakia were the only countries who expressed objections to the changes after it was already approved. Therefore, the assembly ended with plans to finalize a future “pandemic agreement.”Stay tuned for more to come…. |
| But wait…there’s more Thankfully, two weeks ago a coalition of Republican governors from two dozen states rose up in opposition to that dastardly deed (^^^) and argued that this potential “treaty” could undermine national sovereignty and infringe on the rights of individual states. Our Governor, Ron DeSantis, signed the opposition. Thank you, Mr. Governor!! |
