WHO ‘Pandemic Treaty’ Draft Reaffirms Nations’ Sovereignty

"As we explained in 2022, the WHO has no authority to dictate U.S. health policy or to interfere in any nation’s sovereignty. Neither the accord nor amendments proposed to the legally binding agreement that defines countries rights and obligations during health emergencies, known as the International Health Regulations, would give the WHO control over how the U.S. governs domestic health policies.

Yet, once again, conservatives are falsely claiming the agreement will do exactly that, while also giving the wrong impression that it is about to be ratified.

A widely shared article published in the Epoch Times, a conservative media outlet owned by a Chinese religious group, falsely claims the Biden administration “is preparing to sign up” the U.S. to an accord that “would give the Geneva-based United Nations health agency the authority to dictate America’s policies during a pandemic.”

The Gateway Pundit, another conservative news site, takes the Epoch Times’s article further in a post titled: “END OF AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY: Biden Regime Negotiates ‘Legally Binding’ Deal To Give Chinese-Backed World Health Organization Full Authority Over US Pandemic Policies – No Senate Approval Needed.”

The false allegations are also spreading in social media."
