The World Health Organization is trying to give itself full authority over any potential public health emergencies in the future. They agreed to amendments to the International Health Regulations in June that should be considered as a treaty because of their size and scope. In addition, the WHO is still working on the international pandemic treaty that, together with the IHR, will give them full authority over global health.
Congress will consider a bill to ensure that the White House does not enter into any agreement with the WHO without first getting the Constitutionally required advice and consent from the U.S. Senate. The No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act (H.R. 1425) confirms that the Senate has a vital role in protecting our nation’s sovereignty.
Considering the WHO’s record of handling the COVID-19 pandemic, they should not be allowed to move forward with any treaty or agreement that gives them more power over our lives and livelihoods. Americans lost their freedoms because of the WHO’s guidance on lockdowns, masking, and vaccine mandates. Children fell behind in education and social development – and still have not fully recovered from isolation. The WHO never held China accountable for the direct cause of the pandemic and instead rewarded them with a seat on their Executive Board.
The WHO wouldn’t need to wait around for the next new disease to spread rapidly. Under the Left’s definition of “health,” anything from global warming to abortion to guns could be considered a “health emergency.” We must take action now.
Call or email your Representative today to ask them to vote YES on H.R. 1425.
