We need a referendum on WHO’S pandemic treaty

✒ THE World Health Organisation is driving forwards with a proposed new Pandemic Treaty, which it wants all national governments to sign.

At worst, this treaty would intrude into and control the way individual citizens manage their own health.

They wish to impose their “One Health” decisions upon every global citizen, overriding our own autonomous health decisions and our constitutional rights.

National governments would be expected to detain and examine citizens suspected of being ill, based solely on the injunctions of unelected, “captured” WHO bureaucrats. This is hugely dangerous for our democracy.

The proposed treaty would turn the WHO into a private entity with the power to change the definition of a “pandemic”; impose lockdowns, universal vaccine mandates and vaccine passports worldwide; promote novel vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics; promote untested medicines/vaccines; and develop global health surveillance systems.

Our Government rightly gave the people the opportunity to decide in a referendum whether Britain’s sovereignty should be subjugated to the European Union – however flawed that process was.

That referendum was essential in order to test whether the people wanted our national sovereignty handed over to the European Union.

If anything, the new proposed WHO pandemic treaty would constitute even more of an assault on our national sovereignty, handing over the nation’s future health-care decisions to an unaccountable global institution controlled by narrow pharmaceutical interests.

A massive global push-back has started against this power grab, and I encourage readers to visit the UK Government and Parliament petition on this issue at https://tinyurl. com/3ct4dj7h, and join the 110,000 citizens who, as I write, have signed it.

The petition demands that there must be a referendum before our Government signs this treaty and hands over our national self-determination to a proto global government-in-waiting. Richard House Stroud
