Counter Signal: Bexte: 'The global vaccine passport is purportedly under development to be used in the wake of future COVID pandemics, but the WHO says that it could be used for any new global health threat.
'Besides the moral implications of once again implementing health-based restrictions, a global vaccine passport brings up national security concerns, as the WHO and its backers would have access to these “home-based records.”
'Moreover, the push for a global vaccine passport coincides with the WHO’s drafting of a global pandemic treaty, which would legally bind member states to the WHO’s International Health Regulations and allow the organization to dictate all future pandemic responses.
The WHO began drafting its treaty in December 2021 during a special session entitled “The World Together.”
'The treaty is to be upheld by the WHO’s constitution, which under Article 19 “[provides] the World Health Assembly with the authority to adopt conventions or agreements on any matter within WHO’s competence.” [Emphasis added]
'This authority was initially designed to pertain only to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control but is being expanded to include dictating Member States’ future pandemic responses.
'Additionally, as pointed out by MP Leslyn Lewis, the treaty would also allow the WHO to determine what is a pandemic and when one is occurring, even over something non-viral like an obesity crisis. This would effectively give the organization the authority to take control of member states’ healthcare systems whenever they feel necessary.' Read the full piece HERE.
