In a shocking turn of events, all Republican senators (49), led by Senator Ron Johnson, have formally urged President Joe Biden to withdraw his support in expanding the World Health Organization’s (WHO) pandemic authority.
The letter, sent ahead of the 77th World Health Assembly scheduled from May 27 to June 1, 2024, in Geneva, Switzerland, argues that the WHO’s mishandling of the COVID-19 crisis underscores the need for major reforms rather than granting it more power.
The senators warn that such an expansion could threaten U.S. sovereignty and constitutional rights, emphasizing that any international agreement enhancing WHO’s authority should be treated as a treaty, requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote in the Senate for approval.
“THIS IS BIG NEWS!!!” wrote Dr. Meryl Nass on 𝕏.
“49 Senators (every Republican Senator) have told President Biden to withdraw US support for the Treaty and IHR amendments–but if the US does go forward, the treaty(s) will have to be submitted to the Senate for its advice and consent, requiring a 2/3 vote (which is an appropriate threat).”
The official letter states:
Dear Mr. President:
Next month, during the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly (WHA), your administration is expected to commit the United States to two international agreements that would strengthen the World Health Organization’s (WHO) authority to declare public health emergencies of international concern and expand the WHO’s authority over member states during such emergencies. This is unacceptable.
The WHO’s failure during the COVID-19 pandemic was as total as it was predictable and did lasting harm to our country. The United States cannot afford to ignore this latest WHO inability to perform its most basic function and must insist on comprehensive WHO reforms before even considering amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) or any new pandemic-related treaty that would increase WHO authority. We are deeply concerned that your administration continues to support these initiatives and strongly urge you to change course.
Article 55 of the IHR requires the text of any IHR amendment to be communicated to member states at least four months before the WHA at which they are to be considered. As the WHO has still not provided final amendments text to member states, we submit that IHR amendments may not be considered at next month’s WHA. Some of the over 300 proposals for amendments made by member states would substantially increase the WHO’s health emergency powers and constitute intolerable infringements upon U.S. sovereignty. As such, it was essential that the WHO abide by the four-month notice period to allow member states time to ensure that no traces of such proposals were included in a final amendment package for consideration by the WHA. Having failed to do so, amendments are not in order.
The WHO’s most recent publicly available draft of its new pandemic response treaty is dead on arrival. Instead of addressing the WHO’s well-documented shortcomings, the treaty focuses on mandated resource and technology transfers, shredding intellectual property rights, infringing free speech, and supercharging the WHO. Moving forward with a new pandemic preparedness and response treaty ignores the fact that we are still unsure of COVID-19’s origins because Beijing continues to block a legitimate independent investigation. We strongly urge you not to join any pandemic related treaty, covenant, or agreement being considered at the Seventy-seventh WHA. Should you ignore this advice, we state in the strongest possible terms that we consider any such agreement to be a treaty requiring the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate under Article II Section 2 of the Constitution.
In light of the high stakes for our country and our constitutional duty, we call upon you to (1) withdraw your administration’s support for the current IHR amendments and pandemic treaty negotiations, (2) shift your administration’s focus to comprehensive WHO reforms that address its persistent failures without expanding its authority, and (3) should you ignore these calls, submit any pandemic related agreement to the Senate for its advice and consent.
Sincerely,
Ron Johnson, United States Senator
Rick Scott, United States Senator

This is hopeful news and I applaud every senator who supported this move to protect us from this terrible loss of sovereignty to a hopelessly corrupt WHO. I also have to say I am disgusted by the lapel pin worn in the photo of the senator with the linked flags of the US and Ukraine. This corrupt nation state is not another state of the United States, it is not equal in stature, and is not without fault in the current tragic conflict. Our support and encouragement has simply tremendously increased the unecessary death and suffering in this war at great cost to our country which is already deeply in debt with great problems of its own which are not being addressed and from which we may not recover.
Still not sure how the Plandemic treaty can supersede the the constitution but hell when’s that ever stopped our goverment.
The video link below, is of an excellent video, full of good information……
It includes The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report….
which actually began in 1946..two sets of Books for the gov’t.
Comprehensive Annual and the Plain Annual Financial Report.
The Annual Report includes Taxes collected and Bonds sold by the gov’t…..always never enough money, so Taxes are Raised …..
The Comprehensive Annual Report, shows All monies invested with Nazi HedgeFunds, (yes nazi).
Nixon and Reagan added requirements for States and Municipal gov’ts.
All Pools of Money whether a school district or road building, etc…..these monies were approbriated and invested, often after the time frame, the Projects were never done.
Multiple Trillions of Dollars, that went into the Black Budget……
This became a Global endeavor.
Anyway a good video, starts slow and is long but worthwhile.

It is good news. But don’t think these guys haven’t covered all bases. If (God help!) US pulls out of this, then there is plan B: the coming UN GA of September or October. Read here at page 12 (in bold) and page 15 (right column): https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/our-common-agenda-policy-brief-emergency-platform-en.pdf
Get the news around because this is so much less covered that the who treaty! And if that goes ahead it is much scarier than the who’s scope because there are many more excuses for one man to decide for us all!
God bless!
The effectiveness of this letter remains to be seen.
If it works, then it buys time, to launch a more comprehensive attack against the WHO.
It may be staged, so the agenda crowd, can put forward a better attack, for their side.
In the meantime, it may forestall any other attempts to stop WHO.
It is a continuing process on both sides.
