WHO Coming Down the Home Stretch

Leo Hohmann: WHO Coming Down the Home Stretch

The United Nations World Health Organization is secretly negotiating a set of amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that would impose an invasive testing, vaccination and quarantine regimen on international travelers.

Ongoing negotiations on these amendments were kept secret for more than a year until California researcher and journalist James Rogoski uncovered the latest draft version of the amendments in February.

In a recent interview, Rogoski said these amendments to the International Health Regulations are not so much an attack on national sovereignty as they are a “dangerous expression of national sovereignty.”

Most nations, including the U.S., already claim through various laws to have these invasive powers over their own citizens. What the IHR amendments are about is giving nations these same testing and quarantining powers over foreign nationals who legally enter as a tourist, business traveler or for any other purpose.

Exiting the WHO, as the U.S. did under the presidency of Donald Trump, will also not provide any real answers to this power grab, Rogoski explained, stating that “Unless every nation exited the WHO these rules would still apply.”

That’s because the enforcement powers for these invasive methods are being given to nations not to exercise over their own citizens but over the citizens of every other country who are entering as foreign travelers.

The proposed amendments would include adding the terminology for so-called conveyance operators, which includes operators of planes, trains, subways, cruise lines, buses, etc.

These operators, both public and private, would have to comply with “health measures which may include isolation and quarantine as required, for application on board as well and embarkation and disembarkation.” That means you could be confronted both getting on and getting off of a plane, cruise ship or train, and asked to take a PCR test, or to show proof of vaccination against whatever disease they are looking for.

Proposed changes to Article 27 of the IHR’s would add the words “and quarantine” to the powers already granted at ports of entry.

“So, the concern is that if you are traveling, they want to be able to make you take a test, and if you want to get off the cruise boat or plane, they may make you go into quarantine…It essentially says they can compel the traveler to undergo vaccination or other prophylaxis.”
