“WHO Treaty Smuggles in Bill Gates Plan For a ‘Fire Department For Pandemics’”
This article was originally published by the 100% reader-funded independent Dutch newspaper De Andere Krant (The other newspaper). This is a deep machine translation.
The latest version of WHO’s draft Pandemic Treaty for the first time mentions a “global health emergency workforce” – an international corps of “health workers” who can be deployed to “combat pandemics. This is precisely the proposal that Bill Gates, vaccine magnate and WHO’s largest private backer, proposed last year. In an opinion piece in the New York Times, he wrote that there should be an international “Global Health Emergency Corps” to deal with “threats.” Yes, this is very similar to Bill Gates’ fire department,” confirms Dr. David Bell, ex-WHO physician who has been critically monitoring developments around the Pandemic Treaty.
“The world needs a well-funded system that can be deployed instantly when threats arise,” Bill Gates wrote in an opinion piece “The Next Pandemic” in the New York Times on March 19, 2023. He was referring to the “global health emergency corps” that WHO and its partners are building. According to Gates, who has invested heavily in vaccine manufacturers through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and who is also one of the WHO’s biggest sponsors, countries and their national public health organizations must work together because “one country on its own cannot prevent a disease from spreading, meaningful action requires coordination at the highest levels of government.”
The WHO already launched the “Emergency Medical Teams 2030 Strategy” on October 4, 2022, which provides for the creation of an international healthcare army. This corporation will conduct exercises and simulations to prepare for the next pandemic. To detect it in time, it will invest in large-scale testing capabilities, such as sewage water surveillance. “If a sewage sample comes back positive, a rapid response team would deploy to the affected area to find people who might be infected, carry out a response plan, and kick off the necessary community education about what to look for and how to stay protected”, Gates writes.
Bill Gates’ plan now appears to be introduced, quietly, into the envisioned international Pandemic Treaty, currently being negotiated within the WHO. The WHO’s aim is for the 194 member states to vote on it at its upcoming annual meeting, the World Health Assembly, starting May 27. The problem, however, is that there is not yet a final text that negotiators can agree on and submit to the Assembly. This is also the reason why the Dutch parliament believes that the Netherlands should not yet agree to the Pandemic Treaty. However, updates of the negotiating texts are published regularly. In the latest draft text, the proposal to establish an “international health corps” appears for the first time. Previous drafts did not include this.
According to Australian physician David Bell, who worked for the WHO for nine years and is highly critical of the ‘commercial’ direction the UN organization has taken, this proposal is “highly problematic.” He points out that such a “health army” is similar to the UN’s military “peacekeeping missions,” as well as the “pandemic fire corps” proposed by Bill Gates, under the name GERM (“Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization”). Gates has said that such a corps will cost $1 billion to pay the salaries and expenses of the 3,000 people needed for it.” If this corps is included in the Pandemic Treaty, it raises big questions about what its powers will be,” Bell said.” It will probably be imposed on smaller countries, which will have the corps on their roof if they don’t cooperate sufficiently with WHO measures.”
According to Bell, there is no need for an international healthcare army: “Viral outbreaks can generally be managed within national borders. When that is not the case in rare cases, support can be provided through bilateral agreements. In addition, we already have numerous NGOs such as Doctors Without Borders, for example, which are equipped to provide assistance in emergencies.” He also expresses concern about the expansion of “health surveillance”: “The people who do this work are paid to find a virus. Of course, they will find some. This is something the WHO should have nothing to do with. It is the idea of a software entrepreneur; it has nothing to do with a sensible response to a public health threat. Countries and local doctors know much better how to deal with that than rich foreigners.”
Critics fear that WHO’s health army could even take on a military character. WHO has previously deployed medical teams in disasters. Staff on these teams can come from “governments, charities, NGOs, the military sector, civil protection, international humanitarian networks such as the Red Cross and Médecins sans Frontières, UN-contracted teams and the private sector (private-for-profit),” according to the WHO website. That means that theoretically companies like Pfizer or mercenary armies like Dyncorp or Blackwater could also be deployed.
The proposed Pandemic Treaty to be voted on soon is controversial because it gives the WHO powers to determine countries’ health policies. Bell points out that the Pandemic Treaty contains several references to the International Health Regulations (IHR). These date from 2005, but the WHO wants to make major changes to them. This is also currently being negotiated by the WHO. Like the Pandemic Treaty, the changes to the IHR will be voted on at the upcoming annual meeting. Under Article 12 of the new version of the IHR, the WHO Director-General, currently Tedros, will have the authority, at his or her sole discretion, to declare an “international emergency” (“public health emergency of international concern” PHEIC). That then gives WHO the power to declare far-reaching measures that member states must comply with. Bill Gates’ International Health Army could be used to enforce the measures.
Added to that, the Pandemic Treaty and International Health Guidelines provide for the development of digital vaccination passports, the possibility of vaccination coercion, lockdowns, and other coercive measures, and emphasize the importance of combating “disinformation” prescribing. With that, all the ingredients for a global health dictatorship are in place.
In the coronavirus pandemic, several smaller countries, including in Africa and Europe, shied away from WHO recommendations. In many other countries, the WHO policies were heavily criticized afterward. Therefore, where at the national level authorities may be unwilling to combat a new “pandemic” with far-reaching measures, the WHO would soon have all the tools to enforce measures. These may even go further than we have anticipated in recent years. IHR amendments include forced medical examinations. The Public Health Act (WPG), introduced in the Netherlands last year, which gives the Minister of Health great powers to impose health measures by decree, without interference from parliament, talks about mandatory quarantines “in building or ship” and house searches, “checking house and home,” “in case of suspicion of the presence of pathogens.”
Democratic control will no longer be possible in the process. Under the WPG, the IHR, and the Pandemic Treaty, national sovereignty is definitively eliminated. Legal resistance is therefore almost impossible. WHO officials are protected by a shield of diplomatic immunity. Bell is not comfortable with this. He argues that WHO is rolling out a “kind of medical fascism” that will benefit only the pharmaceutical industry, not the health of the population.
