A draft version of a W.H.O. document recommends that all countries forbid women between the ages of 18 and 50 from drinking alcohol because ... [I Rarely Drink Alcohol]

because they are of childbearing years!!!! Handmaid's Tale, anyone? Who's a Nazi? Who's in charge of Sharia Law?

The W.H.O. has already instructed socialized NHS in the U.K. to recommend that women who have given birth MUST breastfeed for at least 6 months, and apparently women who are unable physically to breastfeed, or who choose not to breastfeed, are now treated almost like criminals by NHS doctors.

Their recommendations are almost mindlessly enforced in many countries around the world, and I wonder if it is time to reign them in, after the debacle in China.

WHO seems very power hungry

It's just a recommendation, not advisory of a ban...

Fetal alcohol syndrome is a huge issue world wide, and we know now that it occurs quite early in pregnancy - many women do not realize they are pregnant for a few weeks and will drink in that time, causing lifelong harm to their child.

In my opinion if you're trying to get pregnant, both man and woman should abstain from drinking. If you know you became pregnant during a period you drank, you should seek advice from your OBGYN.

It doesn't say that all - it's advising women of childbearing age not to drink alcohol.

Advice is not calling for a ban.

@InterstellarButterfly "The UN agency’s draft global alcohol action plan for 2022-2030 urges countries to pay “appropriate attention to prevention” of consumption in certain groups, including teens and women of childbearing age, the UK’s Telegraph reported."

They are urging COUNTRIES [quote]to pay “appropriate attention to prevention” of consumption in certain groups, including teens and women of childbearing age, [/quote]
@4meAndyou Actually that surprises me. But as you cited, China in Africa, yes a major involvement by China in that Continent. There’s a book by Howard French on that issue...”China’s second continent”. And

@soar2newhighs the Belt and Road initiative is just the latest innovation of colonialism - China is just picking up from Western Europe's and America's legacy

The WHO isn’t the Organization they promote themselves to be.
@Elevatorpitches I wouldn’t say “Great”. “ Good” will suffice.
@soar2newhighs I said: still a great force for good in the world

I apporove of the UN, I HATE that the USA and often Israel block so many progressive moves esp on the rights of Palestine and the human rights of other countries, for reasons of political expediency.

Cuba needs a break. Much injustice against that country

and the USA hasn't paid their dues for eons
@Elevatorpitches fair enough.

Does W.H.O. have an enforcement division, or do they need some TP for their bunghole?
4meAndyou · F
@soar2newhighs To be fair, it was the head of the WHO, Dr. Tedros, who was the front man for China, and lied for them.

Tedros is from an African nation which was called Asmara, in Ethiopia. The Chinese have taken over in much of Africa. They paid for Tedros' education, and when it was against Chinese interests in his own country to admit they were having a cholera outbreak, he went on the record denying it, thus effectively committing genocide against his own people.

The Chinese rewarded him by creating him as Director of the WHO, because they know he is their paid for stooge. Fauci is on record stating that he and Tedros are "good friends".
@4meAndyou How much of what you related in your post is or has been widely disseminated through World news outlets?
4meAndyou · F
@soar2newhighs As far as I know, it was reported in the New York Times, and I posted multiple links. I don't know if CNN or MSNBC will even mention it.

South Africa reported it, and the UK.

That is so scary!🥺YES, it is time to reign them in. The world is going to hell FAST. I hope I'm not around to see all of it?!👀 https://similarworlds.com/5501982-I-Want-To-Share-A-Thought-Of-The-Day/3937467-Im-Worried-About-The-USA

@Peaches You are right...but our freedoms will not be ripped away all at once, like a band-aid. It will happen like this...in small incursions against the weakest among us. Anyone who does not stand up and protest is contributing to the problem.
Peaches · F
@4meAndyou Yes I KNOW! 😟 It's happening NOW as we speak...💙
no problem, weed is healthier.
@Elevatorpitches with the use of weed via smoking it, I’m surprised the anti smoking crowd hasn’t chimed in. Now if they’re smart they’ll see how the UN & WHO pushing certain “ health” matters , would jump on a prevention/ cessation of weed smoking encouraged by the anti smoking groups.
@soar2newhighs Not sure about all that but I once learned they are very interested in stopping female genital mutilitation and I say YES!!
@Elevatorpitches Not to say they don’t make good decisions .

@4meAndyou Yes, I saw "prevention". That's not forbiddance.
4meAndyou · F
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP You are being obtuse. One prevents by forbidding, in one way or another.

ESPECIALLY when the WHO is telling entire COUNTRIES to do it.
@4meAndyou you can also prevent by passing out flyers
