This is a major victory for freedom.
Have you heard about the WHO pandemic treaty? They have been working on a treaty which would threaten free speech and national sovereignty.
If it went through, it would essentially mean that they could CENSOR speech that the WHO deemed to be misinformation. They could also force countries to vaccinate people and implement vaccine passports.
But now there is good news - They are BACKING DOWN! In the latest draft of the WHO pandemic treaty, they appear to be BACKING DOWN, removing some of the most draconian rules. This doesn't mean that everything is all good, but this is definitely a good start and a massive victory for freedom.
First of all, they are making the treaty non-binding. This means that countries will keep their national sovereignty instead of having to hand it over to a bunch of unelected elites at the WHO.
The big issue was Article 13A in the pandemic treaty. It was originally proposed to say the following:
"1. States Parties recognize WHO as the guidance and coordinating authority of international public health response during public health Emergency of International Concern and undertake to follow WHO's recommendations in their international public health response."
This text would have meant that countries would be forced to follow the rules and recommendations as decided by the unelected elites at the WHO.
But this entire article has in fact now been REMOVED from the latest draft of the pandemic treaty, meaning that countries do no longer have to obey the WHO. This is a massive win for national sovereignty.
