At an upcoming conference on May 22 - 28, ultimate control over America's healthcare system is scheduled to be delivered, pending a vote, to the World Health Organization that will give sweeping power to the WHO's Director-General to declare health emergencies or crises in any nation, even if that nation opposes it.
The amendments would give WHO the right to take important steps to collaborate with other nations and other organizations worldwide to deal with any nation's alleged health crisis, even against its stated wishes.
The power to declare health emergencies is a potential tool to shame, intimidate, and dominate nations.
The existing WHO regulations then provide for an 18-month grace period during which a nation may withdraw its "Yes" vote for amendments, but the current proposed amendments would reduce that opportunity to six months.
If the U.S.-sponsored amendments are passed, a majority of the nations could, in the next six months, change their individual votes and reverse the approval.
That's a total of 47 nations supporting the U.S.-authored amendments.
The amendments require a response in 24 hours from the identified nation, or WHO will identify it as "rejection" and act independently.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
