I had the priviledge of being part of a Panel who on Sunday 12th November discussed on ‘Soni Irabor Live’ on Inspiration 92.3 FM radio, the changing faces of the World Health Organization (WHO). Particularly concerning were the proposed drastic changes to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that would see nations effectively stripped of their sovereignty which would be transferred to the WHO. Current WHO rules require that details of amendments to the IHR must be made available for public scrutiny, at least 4 months ahead of presentation for ratification at a World Health Assembly. However, worrisomely, the Working Group fine-tuning the proposed amendments has indicated it would not be able to get them ready four months before the 77th World Health Assembly coming up in May next year. However, rather than wait to present them at the 78th edition in 2025, the Group has requested that the requirement for public scrutiny be simply waived! In that case, with the general public effectively blanked out, we could expect back-stage politicking and private arm-twisting of country delegates, which would turn the Assembly into a mere rubber-stamping event. The amendments are to be passed based on simple majority, and there would be no record of how individual delegates voted!
Nevertheless, the
general picture for the amendments, as proposed by different nations, are well
known. For instance, there is a proposal that the Secretary General of the WHO
be authorized to not only declare matters of Public Health Emergencies of
International Concerns at any location on the planet, he should also be
empowered to specify the response that MUST follow such declarations,
irrespective of local laws and opinions.
As we have seen before, such response might include lockdowns, social
distancing, mandatory masking, mandatory vaccination, and similar measures. Up till now, at least officially, WHO positions
are largely advisory, and are subordinate to those held by the relevant national
authorities.
Actually, it can be
easily shown that the proposed revisions to the IHR represent aspirations long-nurtured
by globalists. Most of them were
contained in Singapore’s Infectious Disease Act of 1977 (that country was then
under a dictatorship), which in turn formed
over ninety percent of the changes proposed in Nigeria’s Control of
infectious diseases Act in 2020. Those
proposals, allegedly
sponsored by Mr Bill Gates, were stoutly resisted by Nigerians during the subsequent
public hearing at the National Assembly. Instructively, part of the amendments had
sought to empower the Director General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease
Control to pronounce any premises (in Nigeria) as infected; and anyone deemed
to be a suspected “case”, having been in contact with someone who had been in
the precinct of such premises, could be detained (“quarantined/isolated”)
indefinitely at any facility, at any location, and/or subject to whatever
“treatment” as prescribed by Director General!
(See details in LSF’s
Memorandum to the National Assembly on the Bill). Despite the unanimous spontaneous rejection
of those outrageous provisions by Nigerians however, the wily globalists behind
the moves simply side-stepped the National Assembly and went on to invest the very
same powers on a new entity they created – the Presidential
Task Force on COVID. We all knew
what we saw - pepper!
Now the changes to
the IHR rehash those same provisions and seek to tidily and permanently invest
those incredible powers on the Secretary General of the WHO and some select Committees
for global application. To make matters
much worse, the issues that can be pronounced Public Health Concerns no longer
need be some infectious disease attributed to a tangible causative organism (such
as some coronavirus), but could be related to some amorphous socio-cultural
concerns. Indeed, the definition of
pandemics and health emergencies would now incorporate “potential harm” (as
determined by the WHO), and not just actual harm. Any contrary opinions, tagged
“misinformation” and “disinformation,” would be heavily sanctioned. A total of 307 IHR amendments have been proposed. Detailed review of
these have been provided by James
Roguski and the Equity
International Initiative, for
instance.
Interestingly, even as
negotiations and fine-tuning are ongoing (largely on the trade and political
aspects), infrastructures needed to implement the outcomes are already being
set up by the WHO. Implying that the
“negotiations” and the upcoming presentation at the World Health Assembly are
indeed mere charades with pre-determined outcomes. Just as COVID vaccines were already
being mass-produced while ostensibly clinical testing of their safety and
efficacy were still ongoing!
So, my co-panelists
on Soni Irabor Live (the eminent Prof M.C Asuzu, show co-host Dr Patrick
Ijewere, and outspoken ob-gynaecologist, Dr Oby Ideh), together with the
contributing public, were understandably much concerned and repeatedly referred
to the development as “scary”. The
consensus seems to be that Nigerians must somehow get President Tinubu to actually
write the WHO to denounce the coming amendments, or even entirely opt out of the
WHO! To this end, Host Soni Irabor
promised to invite some officials of the Federal Ministry of Health on set to
brief Nigerians on the matter.
Unfortunately, it is
very difficult for me to view these prescriptions optimistically. Indeed, in my candid opinion, considering
current realities, Nigeria would probably be the last country on earth to
contemplate standing up to the WHO. I
explain.
Over the years, the
WHO has with outright impunity, exercised even more frightening authority in
Nigeria than what is being sought in the proposed amendments to the IHRs. For instance, in total disregard to our laws,
the WHO, at the instance of her globalist puppeteers, came out with some novel
“Protocols” directed largely at two pivotal nations, Nigeria and South
Africa, at the advent of the COVID mRNA vaccines in 2020. By the Protocols, named “Reliance” and
“Recognition”, the national regulatory authorities of Nigeria and South Africa
were absolved of their responsibilities to thoroughly assess the safety and
efficacy of these vaccines before being licensed for use in their countries! Rather, they were directed to suspend their
established protocols and simply regurgitate whatever pronouncement is made by
some “more matured” authorities elsewhere.
Sadly, while South Africa noted
but ignored the said protocols (leading to the rejection of over 1 million
doses of Astra Zenica vaccines, few days to much-publicized launch), Nigeria
docilely and fully complied! Those
infamous protocols still proudly
adorn NAFDAC’s website till today!
Exactly the same
situation is playing out, as we write, with respect to mercury-laden vaccines which
are still being administered to Nigerian babies - decades after such practice
has been proscribed in the developed nations who produce and ship down the
vaccines to us, under “generous subsidies”. In her formal
response to the public outcry generated when the issue was pointed out at
the 7th National Conference on Environment and Health last year,
NAFDAC simply claimed that the mercury level is not high enough to be
concerning! When we
point out that the very same level of mercury deemed un-concerning in
babies’ vaccines remains unacceptable to NAFDAC in cosmetics and soaps to be
used externally by adults, NAFDAC resorts to her standard cover: “the WHO has
assessed and determined that the benefits of our babies receiving such vaccines
outweighs the risks, bla, bla, bla”. And with such an appeal to the great infallible
authority WHO, every matter becomes closed in Nigeria!
Indeed, to all
intents and purposes, the WHO does not need any revision of the IHRs to
continue to ride roughshod over healthcare in Nigeria!
And in case someone
is wondering why Nigeria can’t set up facilities for vaccine production
locally, so we can decide whether to continue to produce them in mercury-laden
multi-dose format, or adopt the mercury-free single-dose format used in those
countries who produce the mercuric version for our babies, the answer again,
leads to the WHO! Another strange
contraption of the WHO is the formulation of a so-called “Maturity Levels”, on
which scale Nigeria has been adjudged as not matured enough to produce
vaccines!
This is incredible,
seeing that Nigeria had actually produced
her vaccines locally for over five decades (between 1940 and 1991) - before the facility at Yaba was sabotaged by
globalists under the guise of helping with upgrades! Last year, the NAFDAC
nauseatingly celebrated
her certification as having moved to Maturity Level 3 - one more level before
Nigeria can begin to contemplate producing her own vaccines again!
So, sadly, the abject
subordination of our national health institutions to the WHO’s whims and
caprices is already a fait accompli
and any amendments to the IHR are mere icing on the cake for the globalists, as
far as Nigeria is concerned. Yet this is
no cause to wallow in pessimism. At the
LivingScience Foundation, we firmly believe that there is absolutely no way darkness is ever
going to subdue Light! Accordingly, we
quietly await what He that sitteth in the heavens will rule on this
matter. For one thing, we know there is
always a David reserved for every gangling Goliath.
Hopefully the David
is reading this piece, and will know what to do!
Shalom.
