WHO International Health Regulations
In a frantic last minute rush, modified IHR were illegally approved by the most recent World Health Assembly (#77)
A meeting of the World Health Assembly concluded Saturday June 01, 2024. This particular Assembly meeting, the first following the COVIDcrisis, failed to achieve agreement on wording or passage of a proposed World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic “treaty”, also referred to as an “agreement”. In parallel to the treaty, the World Health Assembly (in close cooperation with the US HHS/Biden administration) has been working on “updating” the existing (2005) International Health Regulations (IHR) agreement, which historically functioned as a voluntary accord establishing international norms for reporting, managing, and cooperating in matters relating to infectious diseases and infectious disease outbreaks (including “pandemics”).
In blatant disregard for established protocol and procedures, sweeping IHR amendments were prepared behind closed doors, and then both submitted for consideration and accepted by the World Health Assembly quite literally in the last moments of a meeting which stretched late into Saturday night, the last day of the meeting. Although the “Article 55” rules and regulations for amending the IHR explicitly require that “the text of any proposed amendment shall be communicated to all States Parties by the Director-General at least four months before the Health Assembly at which it is proposed for consideration”, the requirement of four months for review was disregarded in a rush to produce some tangible deliverable from the Assembly.

I pass by if they are a civil servant or don't know the responsibility of the different levels of government. This is Red Deer. I have been waffling on Mayor but have finally made up my mind. Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your author struggled mightily this morning with an update-gone-wrong, but heroically managed to cobble together a delicious post anyway. Your roundup today includes: CBS shakeup sees free-speech champion installed as chief editor while depressed Democrats stare in stunned shock at the sinking wreckage of corporate media dominance; newly disclosed documents reveal Biden spied on sitting U.S. senators; fallout begins; and Florida leads the way back to crosswalk sanity.

It might be the greatest media revenge arc outside of literature. Yesterday, the AP ran a story headlined, “Bari Weiss is the new editor-in-chief of CBS News after Paramount buys her website.” Weiss is gay, married to a woman, a classic liberal (now registered independent), with all sorts of progressive opinions— but the left hates her. She’s an anti-woke, pro-free speech, old-timey liberal. Let’s connect some dots!
