A "Pandemic Treaty"

By Mike Huckabee

May 24, 2022

I’ve been getting a lot of comments wanting to know more about a “pandemic treaty” that’s being hashed out to expand the role of the World Health Organization. This really took off after Tucker Carlson blasted it last week. There are concerns that proposed changes by the Biden Administration would give the head of the WHO sweeping powers to declare pandemics and impose rights-denying measures like lockdowns on sovereign nations without their consent or even over their objections.

This is a complicated issue, so I’m going to link to a couple of stories with more details than I can provide you here. First, Breitbart explains the objections to the proposed treaty and amendments.

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2022/05/20/biden-backed-w-h-o-treaty-amendment-would-yield-united-states-public-health-powers-u-n/

And this article that originally appeared in Fortune argues that those concerns are unfounded: that the WHO would only gain enhanced advisory capabilities to deal more swiftly with health emergencies, but not the power to overrule sovereign governments. They say that because “international law” isn’t really enforceable, such nations could just ignore them anyway.

This is all still in a state of flux, and no matter what the original intention, there’s a good chance that the rising scrutiny and anger will have an effect. My personal view: I certainly don’t think the WHO is deserving of being granted any kind of power over sovereign nations, elected governments or individual citizens. But on top of that, I question the wisdom of expanding their part in dealing with emergencies even in a purely advisory role.

What is there about their botched handling of the COVID-19 pandemic that has earned them the right to greater trust and responsibility? Was it their disgusting and dishonest kowtowing to the communist Chinese government? Or their dogged defense of lockdowns and school closures that have done irreparable harm while studies have since confirmed they had little to no effect on the spread of the virus? In fact, researchers have known for years that lockdowns are useless against airborne viruses. I thought the most basic rule of medicine was "First, do no harm." Here’s just one of many examples of the harm that their policies caused:

Until the WHO cleans up its act and thoroughly reforms and de-policizes itself, it doesn’t deserve more power or even more influence not backed by power. To quote the Who that I respect a lot more, we won’t get fooled again.

    Dear Gov. Huckabee:
    The timing of the WHO Treaty along with so many other horrendous things can NOT be happening at the SAME TIME just by CHANCE. The have been numerous predictions of FOOD SHORTAGES; a record number of fires in food processing facilities this year, already in 5 months, almost DOUBLE prior years; the FDA shut off BABY FOOD supplies; The Hood DAIRY company had to shut it's 13 plants this month due to a CYBER ATTACK, the price of GAS & DIESEL has risen to record high's; the the increasing price of, and the announcement of probable ELECTRICITY shortages coming soon. I expect another dangerous Covid VARIANT around early Sept. for "them" to use the WHO Treaty to their advantage.

    "Them" are the globalist, Davos, "Great Reset" elitist crowd. I suspect they're INTENTIONALLY engineering a societal breakdown (like food riots in the cities) to use as an excuse to declare martial law, or at least postpone the elections (to buy more time to gain full control) because they recognize their sympathizers in this country will be out of power after November. That it's now-or-never if they're going to seize power here. And they know they must control the U.S. and it's economy so that it can't recover to prosperity under someone like Trump or DeSantis because that will make their whole global plan much more difficult, if not impossible, to fully implement. I read recently that Stalin had a saying, "The worse, the better." And "Them" are neo-Marxists using the same tactics.

    What do you think?

    P.S. I think the lyrics from the classic WHO song are, "I get on my knees and pray...We DON'T get fooled again!" (But the titled is "Won't Get Fooled Again".) Maybe you should listen to it, with the volume really cranked, just to be sure. ;)

    God bless you, your efforts, and God Bless America!
    Ultra MAGA! Let's go Brandon!

    Thank you for this post! My oldest son's fiance' is posted in Syria. Every time they get a date for returning home, it is postponed! She's so tired of being there and wants to come home. Both my son, John, and I encourage her with scripture and spiritual songs!!! God bless our troops and all the people in Uvalde, Texas who lost loved ones or watched loved ones, classmates and teachers being killed. GOD HELP AND FORGIVE AMERICA!!!

    The WHO should absolutely NOT have any control over the United States’ response to a health emergency. The WHO initial response to Covid 19 was terrible. One can’t forget how they bent over backward to avoid offending China and didn’t insist that China provide facts about its origin.

    Mike, my husband Mark had c-vid & was allowed to pass in a hospital in Md as he was unjabbed. What legal rights do I have to specify the hospital name & mention the crime?

    No way should the W.H.O. be given any more powers, advisory or otherwise. Their record of Chinese influence and cover-up of the Chinese involvement in Covid is troubling. The idea that the US would have its sovergnity overridden by a global entity is unthinkable.

    All these liberal left actions are setting the stage for Antichrist's one-world government, religion & economy to control every aspect of our lives. James 4-7 says, "Submit yourself to God, resist the devil, & he will flee. So, let's all resist all this satanic nonsense to prepare for Jesus' coming to separate us from AntiChrist's seven-year rule.

    Everyday, the news gets worse. Another ill-fitting shoe drops from the Biden administration. Whatever Biden does about WHO and any pandemic treaty, I expect it is coming from Obama and his belief in "Fundamentally Transforming America." I paid great attention to the link you provided to an article by journalist, Andrea Widburg, writing in American History. She details the Democrats and Obama's near future plans to derail Biden-Harris and replace them through a devious, yet legal, scheme. Personally, I believe this has been Obama's plan all along made more urgent to stem the red wave in the midterms. The Democrats will not go down without a dirty ploy. Perhaps you should provide this link again in case some readers missed it. People need to be aware and Republican lawmakers need to start damage control NOW!

    I support Senator Scott's Bill S4305 to limit the authority of the W.H.O. on the USA and to oppose
    amendments to the Constitution that have not been approved by Congress. Everyone that don't want taken over by Globalist should ring the phone of the wall to their Senators and Congressman.
