#3 Doesn't something like this require the US to sign an international treaty? If that doesn't happen, do what the Dems do - ignore it.

#4 Yeah, international treaties require the Senate to ratify it. Otherwise it is about as much as a law as me stating the world has to wear orange on Tuesdays.

#5 An "executive agreement" will be used to end-run the treaty ratification process. Bath House did it several times.

#6 Excellent WELL DONE republican governors
We must exit the WHO altogether as it is no longer a health advisory body it is an organ of dominance for the highest bidder which is the Gates and Big Pharma cartel

Every billionaire wants a slice of the IP royalty pie, too

Google is behind the current Bird Flu scam. Reject it.
In fact we would all be a lot safer from these drug dealers if the US would repeal tge PREP Act, remove all liability immunity from vaccine makers and remove intelllectual property rights from all pharmaceuticals
We will be safer when anyone can make generics compettetively
And when new drug discovery is done for actual altruism

#7 ^^^ more than a bit hyperbolic and over the top. I’m no fan of the WHO and feel they should be ignored. But if you think removing intellectual property rights and associated profit motive from drug discovery is the best move, then you won’t see any new drug development.

#8 remove all liability immunity from vaccine makers

That’s what got us the current Covid vaccine side effects, Anon1.
