I have been covering the recent attempts by the media and Big Government entities to gin up fear and angst over the bird flu and monkeypox.
In a previous post, I noted that the World Health Organization’s attempts to persuade countries to agree to the terms of a pandemic treaty have been floundering. Essentially, it is because no sane nation wants to hand over control of its population to activist bureaucrats who use pseudoscience to implement liberty-crushing, economy-destroying, nonsense policies.
In fact, it appears the Republican party was gearing up to make this treaty an issue in the upcoming election.
“The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that the WHO is not the preeminent global health institution that perhaps it once was,” said Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, who chairs the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. “Politics should never have a place in science.”
…[A] growing coalition of Republicans on Capitol Hill, as well as supporters of former President Donald Trump, have been rallying against the treaty. During a news conference Monday on Capitol Hill, Reps. Christopher H. Smith, R-N.J., and Wenstrup argued the treaty is too political and relies too heavily on financial support from U.S. taxpayers.
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, called the draft “a global power grab” that forces progressive social policies on countries.
However, the allure of control to the power-mongering members of the Biden administration is like catnip to a cat. So, it’s coming up with its version of a “pandemic treaty“.
