There has been rightful celebration that the World Health Organization pandemic treaty has not been signed, given that many nations, but Australia is not one of them, expressed concerns over numerous aspects of the treaty, especially the surrender of health sovereignty to the World Health Organization. However, the treaty process is still proceeding, and the WHO will attempt to push through yet another revised version the near future, most likely in the next meeting in May 2025. No doubt we can expect that long before that a bird flu plandemic will be unleashed; already there are calls from the medical Leftists and health technocrats, for new rounds of lockdowns, to get ahead of the curve.
It should be noted, as documented by journalist Rebekah Barnett, that the Australian Health Minister Mark Butler is fully on board with the WHO pandemic treaty, and wants the treaty to be binding. At the recent World Health Assembly (WHA) meeting Butler said: "We are also fully committed to concluding the WHO pandemic agreement. Together we have made considerable progress in our shared ambition towards a set of binding international commitments for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
"We have a strong basis on which to finalise important amendments to the International Health Regulations this week. I urge all member states to redouble their efforts to resolve the remaining challenges and seize this opportunity to agree critical reforms to our global health architecture because we simply cannot afford to fail."
This is the typical response from the Albo globo commo government. And the correct counter-response is to vote them out of office; hopefully key players will lose their seats. If I had my way, their superannuation would be ceased and spend helping the hunger and homeless that their policies of mass immigration of the Great White Replacement have created.

"Last week it was reported that plans to adopt an international pandemic treaty had stalled, as countries failed to reach agreement on the final draft before the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA), which started in Geneva on Monday.
Australian Health Minister Mark Butler is not taking the news lying down.
In two addresses at the WHA in Geneva this week, Butler called for the "binding" World Health Organisation (WHO) treaty to be progressed as fast as possible, committing Australia to it in principle.
Speaking on behalf of Australia in the second plenary meeting at the WHA on Monday, Butler told those present,
"We are also fully committed to concluding the WHO pandemic agreement. Together we have made considerable progress in our shared ambition towards a set of binding international commitments for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
"We have a strong basis on which to finalise important amendments to the International Health Regulations this week. I urge all member states to redouble their efforts to resolve the remaining challenges and seize this opportunity to agree critical reforms to our global health architecture because we simply cannot afford to fail."
In the 'Committee A' session the following day, Butler reiterated Australia's commitment to the "binding" treaty, stating that countries were continuing to work on iterations of the draft agreement while the WHA is in progress, with a view to voting on next steps before the culmination of the Assembly on 1 June.
"Australia remains fully committed to concluding the WHO pandemic agreement.
"Together we have come a very long way from where we started just two and a half years ago, with a blank page and a shared ambition - an ambition for a set of binding commitments to prevent another pandemic, and to be better prepared to respond, more effectively, and importantly, more equitably, when the next pandemic hits."
(Emphasis mine)
Butler went on,
"Australia worked with a cross-regional group over the weekend and yesterday to table a draft decision reflecting the available options to finalise the agreement.
"Based on legal counsels advice, the choices for this Assembly are essentially to continue negotiations through the INB [Intergovernmental Negotiating Body] or through another body, then to request the outcome be submitted to this 77th session at a resumed meeting, to a special session or to a future regular session."
He then voiced support for finalising and adopting the IHR amendments, which is the second set of proposed WHO reforms to be voted on at the WHA.
