I wonder if the intent is instead simply to remove the individual states from any position of power on this.
Covid enforcement in the US was marked by a patchwork of varying levels of lockdown and mask mandates because it was decided state-by-state.
If we're screwing around and throwing international treaties at it, I'm presuming that this bypasses the states entirely and is decided at Federal level.
They want to try to force an unilateral lockdown and mandate response on ALL of the states.
Red states got out of lockdown faster and some didn't even lockdown at all like South Dakota. Red states generally stopped mask mandates by now. Red states generally didn't have any vaccine mandates and vaccine passports.
This is a brazen attempt to destroy our 10th amendment rights that each state has through the vehicles of a WHO pandemic treaty and amendments to the IHR treaty.
I pray that after two full years of this bullshit we have enough people telling them to go to hell with this authoritarianism.
The good news is that this will likely have the opposite effect. If Dr Commie tries to actually use this power, a bunch of states will just not listen, which would be a severe blow to DC's authority in general.
Ahh, that old chestnut.
How to pass a law that is not constitutional doesn't carry enough domestic support anyway?
Get it put in a treaty and sign the treaty.
You can't enforce a treaty that supercedes the constitution.
Yes you are right on this but what they are doing on May 22 is apparently amending the IHR treaty that was already ratified by the Senate previously.

Can't have Florida having all the old people but less death rates than the blue masked up jabbed up states. Makes too many people think.

I am not sure on this.
If it doesn't require ratification again then that is why they are doing this.
And when was the last time a US administration actually bothered to get a treaty and approved by the senate?
Who is going to make the lawless follow laws?
