NEW — HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announces the Trump administration has rejected U.S. participation in the World Health Organization’s IHR regulations and pandemic response measures: "Nations who accept the new regulations are signing over their power in health emergencies to an unelected, international organization that could order lockdowns, travel restriction, or any other measure it sees fit." This is great news.

Canada Has Surrendered Sovereignty To The World Health Organization!! The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has released a new report titled Canada’s Surrender of Sovereignty: New WHO health regulations undermine Canadian democracy and Charter freedoms. The IHR amendments, which took effect on September 19, 2025, authorize the WHO Director-General to declare global “health emergencies” that could require Canada to follow directives from bureaucrats in Geneva, bypassing the House of Commons and the will of Canadian voters. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth discusses the implications of Canada’s acceptance of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) revised International Health Regulations (IHR).

.World Health Organization (WHO) welcomes the priority #G20SouthAfrica, under the The Presidency 🇿🇦’s leadership, has placed on investing in global health security to prevent crises becoming disasters. During the G20 United States Leaders’ Summit, I underscored how countries are working to close the gaps #COVID19 exposed in the world’s health security defences. The The Pandemic Fund, mRNA Technology Transfer Hub in South Africa, Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence in Berlin and the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Agreement are all demonstrations of how countries are working, together, to strengthen global health security

To mitigate the #ClimateCrisis, the health sector must also play its part in reducing carbon emissions. I urge all countries to join the World Health Organization (WHO) Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health to transition their health systems to sustainable alternatives away from fossil fuels.

🚨🌍 “Countries are expected to cooperate on that International Health Regulation” World Health Organisation Director Tedros is back demanding compliance from all countries over Hantavirus warnings. They want you to forget how they deliberately sabotage the entire world over the COVID Scam‼️

#MentalHealth is still an afterthought in many countries. Marginalized groups often face the greatest barriers to care, including stigma and discrimination. World Health Organization (WHO) is supporting countries to make mental health services more accessible and effective, by integrating them into primary health care. Obrigado, Minister Filomena Mendes Gonçalyes, for your commitment to promoting and protecting mental health, in #CaboVerde and around the world.

The Director of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros, says every country in the world is now expected to fall in line with his International Health Regulations because of hantavirus. He says it is now a moral obligation for nations to submit to and believe in his Global Health Order. "It's only when we support each other that we can respond more effectively to viruses and outbreaks." "Countries are expected to cooperate based on International Health Regulations."

Because epidemics begin and end in communities, on the International Day of #EpidemicPreparedness, I call on countries to put communities at the centre of preparedness. In 2026, Member States have an opportunity to further strengthen their epidemic preparedness through the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing (PABS) system, the heart of the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Agreement. This will enable rapid and fair access to pathogen information and the benefits arising from such information, making the world safer from future pandemics.

Protecting animal health and welfare helps to build healthier communities, sustainable food systems, preserve biodiversity, and advance progress towards the Global Goals. On the other hand, neglecting animal health and welfare, including through illegal wildlife trade, puts us all at risk of epidemics and pandemics from zoonotic spillovers. I thank the World Federation for Animals for thier continued commitment to protecting the health and welfare of animals – and by extension, the health of people. #OneHealth

NOW: RFK Jr. announces the U.S. will EXIT the World Health Organization’s global health treaty. This is massive. Secretary Kennedy just revealed that the U.S. will reject the WHO’s sweeping amendments to its International Health Regulations (IHRs). “I want to speak to you today about a controversial issue that could directly impact you and your family during a global health emergency.” “Last year, the World Health Organization’s governing body made some far reaching amendments to its International Health regulations, otherwise known as the IHR regulations.” “These regulations establish the legal framework that gives countries rights and responsibilities for managing public health events with global impact.” “The deadline to reject these amendments is next week and we are rejecting them. So I’d like to explain to you why.”

HOLEE SHIZZLES‼️ 🚨 RFK JR Sounds the Alarm on the WHO IHR Amendment's — A “Trojan Horse” is Quietly being Installed to implement Digital Health ID's and a Global Health Database • he expresses concerns about the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and their potential to "open the door" to "that kind of system of health IDs," suggesting a pathway to broader surveillance and control mechanisms. • He says the WHO is laying the groundwork for a CENTRALIZED Medical Database for every human being • He connects the potential for digital health IDs to broader issues of surveillance and industry influence. He Mentions Mass "surveillance" and he refers to "industry influence," implying that these IDs could be part of a larger mass surveillance framework that benefits certain industries while encroaching on individual privacy and freedoms. • Kennedy's concerns are framed within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he believes critical information and criticisms were suppressed. He suggests that the amendments could perpetuate similar dynamics, potentially using digital health IDs as a tool for narrative management and censorship, as seen during the pandemic. - His overall stance is that such measures, including digital health IDs, could jeopardize civil liberties and national sovereignty. He argues that the U.S. should not sign over authority that could lead to lockdowns and other public health measures without thorough consideration, especially when these measures might invite a system that undermines individual rights. What’s next? - Proposal and Adoption Process: The amendments were proposed and negotiated through the World Health Organization (WHO) processes, in an agreement by the World Health Assembly in May 2024 [World Health Assembly, 2024]. However, the implementation of these amendments is not automatic and requires further steps. - Opt-Out Period: There is a specific window for member states to opt out of these amendments. The U.S. and other countries have until NEXT WEEK, to formally reject the amendments. This opt-out period is crucial because it allows countries to decide whether to be bound by the new regulations.

There will be no #HealthForAll nor health security without health workers. International migration of health workers continues to accelerate, especially from those countries furthest behind on universal health coverage and health security. Earlier this week, World Health Organization (WHO) convened the Expert Advisory Group of the Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel to discuss how Member States, private recruiters and non-State actors can shift from competition for health and care workers to collaboration.

Five years ago on 31 December 2019, WHO’s Country Office in #China picked up a media statement by the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission from their website on cases of ‘viral pneumonia’ in Wuhan, China. In the weeks, months, and years that unfolded after that, #COVID19 came to shape our lives and our world. At WHO, we went to work immediately as the new year dawned. WHO employees activated emergency systems on 1 January 2020, and informed the world on 4 January. By 9-12 January, WHO had published its first set of comprehensive guidance for countries, and on 13 January, we brought together partners to publish the blueprint of the first SARS-CoV-2 laboratory test. All along, we convened experts and ministries of health from around the world, gathered and analysed data, and shared what was reported, what we learned and what it meant for people. Read about WHO’s actions here: As we mark this milestone, let’s take a moment to honour the lives changed and lost, recognize those who are suffering from COVID-19 and #longCOVID, express gratitude to the health workers who sacrificed so much to care for us, and commit to learning from COVID-19 to build a healthier tomorrow. We continue to call on China to share data and access so we can understand the origins of COVID-19. This is a moral and scientific imperative. Without transparency, sharing, and cooperation among countries, the world cannot adequately prevent and prepare for future epidemics and pandemics. Today, as often, we pose this question: “is the world better prepared for the next pandemic than we were for COVID-19?” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus responds ⬇️

Today was a historic day for public health at #UNGA. In the declaration approved today on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, the Member States have demonstrated that even at this time of division and polarisation, it’s still possible for countries to come together to agree on a shared response to shared threats. We have no future but a shared future.
