The proposed amendments by the U.S. to the International Health Regulations do not degrade the sovereignty of the United States. The proposed amendments will reduce the power of a country to prevent the World Health Organization from declaring that a public health emergency exists in this country. There is nothing in the proposed amendments that obligates the U.S. to accept any such declaration by the WHO.
I cannot find anything in any American law or treaty to which the United States is a signatory that obligates any part of the federal government or any state government to agree with any such declaration by the WHO or in any way adopt or abide by any such declaration.
The proposed amendments would have positive and negative effects. Enactment of the amendments would make it more difficult for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to prevent the WHO from declaring a public health emergency in China. However, enactment would increase the ever-present danger that officials in the federal and state governments will declare a public health emergency when no such declaration is justified. The danger of increasing the WHO’s ability to declare a public health emergency is that it also increases the chances that an American official who cannot otherwise justify his or her declaration of a public-health emergency, will have an equally unjustified declaration by the WHO to cite in support of his or her declaration. An unjustified declaration by the WHO does not have any legal force in the United States, but it could have political force if not adequately evaluated by American officials and the American media. This is very likely, given that a significant number of American officials and members of the media are willing to do whatever they can get away with to advance their policy objectives.

That is the danger, it gives leftists politicians cover to do things they could not have done without a WHO emergency declaration.

“Wild how Bill Gates got divorced from his wife because of his ties to an international sex trafficking ring and everyone just breezed past that to hear his thoughts on diseases and hunger.”
The treaty, even if it is only an “executive agreement” does not reduce actual sovereignty but with governments run by Democrats or unTrump-like Republicans Washington will bow in subservience to whatever the “experts” at WHO decree.
As if that matters? The lefists/marxists will simply use it as cover for their own tyranny - that's the whole point.
“Who Cares What the WHO Says?”
Biden and his FUBAR administration cares which is why they will probably surrender to their demands.
For that matter, who cares what college dropout Bill Gates has to say.
