... and all the anti-China rhetoric... The timing of the virus release... I mean "escape" from the Wuhan lab was just in time to hide yet another financial crisis and ensure a swift bailout served American financial interests...
"When it became clear China was covering up truths about the deadliest health emergency in a century...." Deadliest health emergency in a century? Senator Risch is against the WHO power grab, which is good, but he justifies opposition by repeating parts of the false narrative about the pandemic that has been foisted upon all of us.
I am aware that politics is a messy business, and sometimes you have to hold your nose and ally with someone who is far from perfect in their political positioning. But this usually means agreeing to disagree on issues unrelated to the issue at hand. On this one, we are cutting it pretty fine here--the guy seems to believe most of the "OMG it's deadly Covid" BS, while blaming China for most of it, and only being clearly on our side when it comes to protecting our sovereignty versus the WHO. Don't get me wrong--protecting our sovereignty is very important, but the good Senator could use some education on the closely related point of the actual nature of the pandemic and the complicity of our public health "leaders" in perpetrating it. Just sayin'.
More intriguing than the questionable legality behind the US support of the revised IHR and Treaty, is the question why? It is HIGHLY unusual for the US to agree to surrender ANY aspect of its sovereignty and in many respects regards its own laws as over-reaching all multilateral Regulations. For instance, the US has never respected International law and its frequent sanctions, illegal under International law, assume that US law can be applied globally irrespective of International law.
So why is the WHO initiative very different to the above position demonstrated consistently over the decades? It seems apparent to me that the ONLY answer is that there is a hidden agenda, through which the US believes it can continue to control the WHO processes in one way or another, so, as is always apparent in UN foreign policy, it believes it can have its cake and also eat it. In this respect, whatever the totality of the agenda might be, it can't be positive for we the people!
Agree; I think this is exactly what is going on. Except the ones on top do not consider themselves Americans. They were born in different countries. But have an us vs them perspective.
And more: this is ultimately an attempt to stifle dissent and avert revolution against the apparent fascist corporatocracy which the is the present day US "government".
I certainly agree that for most Western Governments, one of the reasons is to hide behind WHO. When the next pandemic comes and they implementALL the same things again (including masks, lockdowns, social distancing etc) they will say "It isn't us, but we have a legally-binding multilateral Treaty/IHR and we must follow WHO instructions"
Frankly, "I will NOT COMPLY" applies either way!
But I also think there's so much more than that going on in the US, involving collusion between various of the usual suspects.
This cannot be taken seriously. Like every other ‘international’ organization, the WHO has become a worse than useless fraud, mocking daily its original reasons to exist, precisely because it has been TAKEN OVER BY THE NEO-LIBERAL BLOB THAT HAS ITS HQ IN WASHINGTON, DC. It has been corporatized and enshittified by the same institutional forces that did the same thing to the CDC. The power grab by the WHO is not going to result in America losing its precious sovereignty. It will result in the Washington blob depriving the rest of the world of ITS sovereignty, for the benefit of the US oligarchs who control the blob.
Both the WHO and CDC, among many other enshittified institutions, should be abolished. However, it is important to understand why. US loss of sovereignty is not a reason.
It is my understanding that it is unconstitutional to cede any rights under the constitution by treaty to a foreign body period. Any such treaty would be invalid and without legal force. I don’t believe there is any way around this prohibition. The fact that there is even any discussion regarding such a treaty is proof that Congress is a collection of idiots.
WHO is headed by an unscrupulous Director Tedros Adhanom Grebreyesus, whose actions in his own country attest to this fact. This organization and leader have shown total disreguard of human rights.... in their approval of population lowering vaccines. He destroyed many in his own country to gain money and power...and now is at the helm of a self-serving organiztion. America must divorce itself from WHO and the UN...they are out to destroy America and any other country that accedes to their leadership.
i disagree with Jim Risch who states in this article that, "American innovation is the reason we have not one but three EFFECTIVE COVID-19 VACCINES " 😳??!! say what??!! insert knife in eyeball here.
BTW...why is no-one talking about SAI = stratospheric aerosol injections/weather modification = injecting poisonous, toxic aerosols into our atmosphere...RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. um...could this be affecting our climate? jeez - can i buy a vowel? but, A FLAG OF COURAGE IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!! HOUSE BILL 1700 was introduced to the state of New Hampshire on tuesday. Live deliberation and public comment from people who are present is this monday, January 22nd, 2024 @ 1pm. If we had experts in the audience to speak during public comment, wouldn't that be the puuuurfect thing to happen and a dream come true to advance our cause with expert scientific conversation...with, i don't know, -WILLIAM HAPPER!!! ; Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Physics, Princeton University, Michael Schellenberger ( you know him ), Richard Lindzer and so many more. Any media coverage on this? HA!
Censorship is NOT done by secure people.

“IP protections are foundational to the United States, and they are the reason for millions of life-saving medical breakthroughs. American innovation is the reason we have not one but three effective COVID-19 vaccines.” This idiotic senator proves why the United States has a uniparty. I’m moving somewhere where they have already indicated they’re not going to sign the WHO treaty.
Huhmm. This senator says this “American innovation is the reason we have not one but three effective COVID-19 vaccines. The push to waive IP protections would slow – and could even prevent – game-changing cures from being developed in the first place.”
This is a big red flag that he thinks we have three effective covid -19 vaccines
It’s factually wrong. A Governor saying Biden is doing this without congress and Idahoans would have to follow it is truly astounding!!! If it’s an Accord or Treaty it NEEDS to go through congress otherwise it’s INVALID. An agreement does not need to go through congress and holds far less weight. Someone needs to educate the Governor on the Constitution!
This senator saying "American innovation is the reason we have not one but three effective COVID-19 vaccines" shows that 10 months ago, he was grossly misinformed about the C-19 death shots.
As far as Biden being President he is NOT president but pResident as all will learn well before the 2024 elections which will never happen.
Instead of a bunch of you trying to prove me wrong, why don't you just "chill" and see what the next few months bring and how SCOTUS rules?
The WHO treaty is "dead on arrival!" You will see that play out over the next few months also.
Lost me with the @usa made 3 game changing covid vaccines”.
They were definitely "game-changing". Just not in a way that benefits the people in general.
FYI…this comment is a spam account and it’s being spread all over substack regardless of the topic.
Others have been calling it out, but the message isn’t getting through.
They were INNOVATIVE, all right...just not in a good way. (Unless you made $$$$$ off of them.)
Ugh--me too.
I was coming here to say the same thing.
... and all the anti-China rhetoric... The timing of the virus release... I mean "escape" from the Wuhan lab was just in time to hide yet another financial crisis and ensure a swift bailout served American financial interests...
... so why would China want that?!

Yes, Senator Risch needs a serious upgrade and "wake up" about COVID, and certainly regarding the "vaccines".
When it became clear China was covering up truths? Why don't we start talking a little closer to home, Fauci and the CDC?
Yeah the "deadliest health emergency": that was no worse than the flu if indeed C19 even exists.
Totally agree!

It makes no difference what they can and cant do if no one stops them from doing it.

Oooooh . . . we can add lots to that list! The FDA, CIA, TSA, EPA, BLM, BIA, etc. etc.!

A collection of criminals is more like it.
Treaties are legally binding and considered to supercede our own laws. Aren't some treaties already canceling some of our laws????
The amended "regulations" don't count as a "treaty." Verbal gymnastics here.
The sheer folly/spectacle of govt. trying to fix itself...
( is worthy of a trophy, set on a dusty shelf...)
WHO is headed by an unscrupulous Director Tedros Adhanom Grebreyesus, whose actions in his own country attest to this fact. This organization and leader have shown total disreguard of human rights.... in their approval of population lowering vaccines.

Three effective covid vaccines???? This Senator has his head up his hind orifice!!!

US surrendered in 2020 when reputable physicians, virologists and epidemiologists were shoved
aside in order to enable big pharma, monsters like Fauci etc. and never mind WHO, CDC and
a host of other self serving organizations
The sad part is US still remains a captive to that which is self serving
for
PROFIT and CONTROL
THEY mislead then and STILL do for same reason

You are a laughingstock. "three effective vaccines..." Have you been living under a rock?
Just go away.
