Much has been written on the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR), which most countries are making themselves subject to after July 19th (next week). Many raise concerns of loss of sovereignty, censorship, corporate greed, and conflict of interest. But most are missing the main point; the sheer and outright stupidity and fallacy on which the whole pandemic agenda is based.

July 19th is the last day that Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) can withdraw from the IHR amendments (without entering a multi-year withdrawal process). By failing to withdraw, they will be committing their taxpayers to fund the key surveillance aspects of a rapidly expanding industry that is the pandemic industrial complex. They will be required to set up an extensive network to search for well-established natural phenomena, including the tendency of viruses to mutate into variants. This has been part of the natural world for hundreds of millions of years, but demonstrating it has recently become highly profitable due to a confluence of technological advances and intense marketing.

Firstly, we have developed the ability to detect variants with technologies such as PCR and gene sequencing. This also helps find a lot of viruses that we had not noticed before as they are mostly harmless. Secondly, we have developed digital identification and communications technologies that allow an unprecedented level of mass media coordination and public coercion – what Goebbels could do on a national scale, we can now do almost globally. Thirdly, we have developed pay-to-print modified-RNA medicines (vaccines) that are really cheap but, through the use of fear and coercion, can be injected into almost everyone, returning excellent profits. …

Politics aside, it is worth considering how we got to such a place. The last big natural pandemic was the Spanish flu in 1918-19. That was before we invented any modern antibiotics (most flu deaths were probably from secondary bacterial infections) and before all the gizmos and cleverness of modern medicine. Since then, infectious disease death rates have plummeted because we eat better, have better sanitation and live in better conditions, have modern clinics, and all that technology provides. If the Spanish flu spread now, it is inconceivable that an equivalent virus could cause the same pattern of mortality, unless we really wanted it to. A century of advances in medical technology and human resilience do not amount to anything, as many medical authorities gaining from this would have us believe.

Moderate flu pandemics in the late 1950s and 1960s were the only events since then where a respiratory virus outbreak actually got significantly above baseline for annual mortality (Swine flu [H1N1] in 2009 didn’t). Then came Covid-19, associated with death in wealthy countries at just above the average age of death, and quite probably arising from the research carried out by the same pandemic industry that then profited from it. …

There is far more extensive evidence of the WHO and partner agencies misleading the public, media, and governments to promote the pandemic agenda. Writing about this is not fun. It is a deliberate misrepresentation intended to divert funds to wealthier nations, their corporations, and investors, increasing inequality and causing net harm. The private sector and a few countries can control most of the WHO’s work through specified funding. Member States go along because delegates want a job with the same agencies or refuse to accept that these agencies fabricate a story, even when a cursory review shows their claims are exaggerated or unfounded.

Even though the main proponents of the IHR amendments cannot articulate a coherent case for having them, they will come into force. This is simply about building an industry to repeat Covid; taking money from the larger but less profitable disease burdens, printing more, and concentrating this wealth amongst those promoting the new normal. The exact opposite of what the WHO is supposed to do.

The United States and Argentina have stated their intent to leave the WHO. We will see how that lasts. The era of principles and ideals is long gone from international health. More money will be channeled to ever-growing bureaucracies whose sole function, whose only reason for existence, is to identify theoretical threats that can be used to close economies, remove the livelihoods of others, and extract more of their remaining wealth. The hapless inhabitants of WHO Member States seem to have no real leaders anymore. Eventually, the whole edifice will collapse under the weight of its own fallacies and economic unsustainability. In the meantime, the sad corporatist mess that international public health has become will continue to be in debt and demoralize its public.
