KEY TAKEWAYS:
The International Health Regulations (IHR) are legally binding and supercede the United States Constitution. All the nations of the world have already agreed to the existing International Health Regulations.
The United States has proposed amendments to the legally binding International Health Regulations that will be voted upon at the next World Health Assembly this May 22, 2022 to May 28, 2022.
These proposed amendments will cede additional sovereignty, control and legal authority over to the World Health Organization.
These amendments will NOT require approval by 2/3 of the United States Senate. If they are approved (as submitted by the United States) by 2/3 of the member countries of the World Health Assembly (130 of 194 countries), these amendments would enter into force as international law just six months later (November 2022).
It is not known if the amendments will be voted upon individually or as a complete package.
The amendments will give the Director General of the WHO the power to unilaterally declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) even over the objection of the country dealing with an outbreak of disease.
According to changes made to U.S. regulations that were published one day before Donald Trump was inaugurated (January 19, 2017), the definition of a “Public Health Emergency” in the United States now includes the declaration of a PHEIC by the WHO.
A unilateral declaration of a PHEIC by the WHO will enable the declaration of a Public Health Emergency by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The amendments proposed by the United States would also give the Director General of the WHO the legal authority to unilaterally issue an “intermediate public health alert (IPHA).” The criteria for the issuance of an IPHA is simply that “the Director-General has determined it requires heightened international awareness and a potential international public health response.”
The amendments will also give “regional directors” within the WHO the legal authority to declare a Public Health Emergency of Regional Concern (PHERC).
Yes people, the United States wants to hand over our sovereignty to Regional Directors at the WHO and give them the power to “PHERC” us and “PHERC” the world, one region at a time. “PHERC” that!
Eliminate all public health activities. It was a mistake. I'm ok with cities having a health department to make sure restaurants aren't mixing rat droppings into the ice cream, but the government should not be involved in giving advice or dictates or regulations on how I take care of my health.
The supreme court regularly changes the meaning of the constitution. It does us no good to state how we would like the world to be. We need to be talking about how the world is.
And don’t forget -
“Racism is a public health concern”
Guns too. You can be damned sure they're going to use this as an excuse to attempt to disarm people.

The whole concept of Public Health needs to die.
Ultimately the federal government should consist soley of a Navy, Airforce, and Border Patrol.
Leave all the micromanaging to local governments that are better suited to meeting their local population's needs.
One size does not fit all.
The supreme court regularly changes the meaning of the constitution. It does us no good to state how we would like the world to be. We need to be talking about how the world is.
If the constitution really mattered, then organizations like the ATF and the NSA wouldn't exist.
It's a piece of paper.
It's one thing after another with these evil fucks
treason.
The Republic is dead.
The Question is, do we fight to restore it only to see it fail again, or do we forge ahead and create a new system?
