[b] ... a communist ex-terrorist unelected politician with zero medical qualifications setting himself up to control every citizen of the world... ... yet it's well on track[/b]
Remember, our governments and politicians tell us how they’ll have our backs..what they have is a knife in our backs! Our governments are selling nations’ sovereignty to the WHO for their own aggrandizement.
@Fairydust just like when we said that Biden's Policies were going to hurt the US in a bad way if he got elected. Now with Inflation rising higher than it ever has been, we were proven correct. Now they know and it's too late. They get to enjoy what they voted for.
@dakotaviper yes but many votes weren’t legit! 2000 mules says it all. Sadly we’ve allowed corrupt governments for years and it’s only now we see it. It’s a mess 😞
Seems the WHO is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't then.
I am not too worried about the CV of its leader especially, as long as he is good at running the WHO; but if the WHO failed to act against any pandemic at all it would be attacked just as harshly if not more so, than for whatever it does to try to control it.
Perhaps pandemics tell us two things:
1) We are animals no more safe intrinsically from disease than any other - BUT with two crucial differences from all other species.
2) That pathogens, and biology generally, are non-sentient and non-political. Apart from natural terrain and climate constraints on species but which we humans ignore or overcome, they do not know or respect human-made boundaries and dogmas.
Those two differences?
a) We have it in our gift to try to protect ourselves and our fellows from the worst effects of disease, even if the protection is itself needs sometimes to be very unpleasant.
Organisations like the UN and WHO are there to help that, irrespective of some of their methods. I do not accuse them of conspiracies but I don't like lock-downs either... Yet neither did I want to fall prey to something that might have left me ill for months, or even although less likely, killed me.
b) Also in our gift, we can be our own enemies or allies in this. "Global Pandemic" is a tautology, but shows they can exist around very many countries, even world-wide. That is largely due to our ability to exist almost anywhere, and to our need or mere wish to travel so widely.
The so-called "Spanish Influenza" of 1918-19 affected but did not originate in Spain at all, but was carried around much of the world mainly by all those WW1 soldiers. The word 'quarantine' was coined in 15 or 16C Italy to describe that very precaution to try to limit the spread of the Black Death (Bubonic Plague); possibly of mid-Asian origin. Perhaps SARS-Covid-19 was already on its world tour before anyone realised what was happening; and we may never know its real source.
' You might not trust the World Health Organisation, and like the United Nations generally it might need radical overhauling - I cannot judge that - but can you suggest a practical alternative? I know I can't, beyond that overhaul where necessary.
He can have fun with that. At least for the US, the senate needs to approve ratification, which will never happen. It hasn't happened for the ATT, the Paris accord, and it won't happen for this. No senator wants to lose their job over this absurdity. However, my prayers to Australia, who have their leaders signing their rights away to the WHO. They do not have the constitutional protections, we enjoy in the US.
@WalterF I suppose we will see. But the Arms Trade treaty failed (even though it was signed) it was never ratified. That would have allowed for confiscation of US guns by the UN. The Climate accord was retracted by Trump because it was never ratified. I remain optimistic this will see the same fate befall it.
@WalterF once the Senate ratifies anything in regards for the removal of portions or the entire US Constitution, it must be passed onto the US Population for a Vote by the States themselves. Then it has to be passed with a two thirds majority. That's something the Big Money People don't realize.
You can tell this was written by a real medical doctor (though Zac Cox is a dentist), and not someone with any presentation-writing skills ("Secretary of State for Health [b]as[/b] [sic] Social Care" ? )
Seems thoroughly un-British to me to set much store by written constitutional protections anyway. Everything's been downhill since 1517.
@MrBrownstone Mode of locomotion unknown, but this crook is easily identified, since he looks like a hirsute uncouth lout, better suited to the barricades than the suave circles in which evil-tongued charmers like Anal Schwab live, move and have their being
