Back to 2024
Mr Farage
Believes Mr Trump’s second presidency, impetus for curbing the powers of the WHO.
Critics fear
In future WHO will dictate policies to sovereign nations
(A new pandemic agreement, scheduled to be agreed in May 2025)
Fears that new treaty that would be legally binding on all 194 member states
(Fears WHO mandate lockdowns and vaccinations during pandemics)
Mr. Farrage, on WHO
“It was founded on noble principles,
but it has repeatedly let the world down,
whilst building a billion-dollar global health empire
that takes power away from countries and their citizens.”
Action on World Health
Has now commissioned a review of WHO’s functions
Led by Dr David Bell, (former WHO medical officer),
and nine other experts in medicine, law and ethics.
The review will examine the powers and structure of the WHO,
recommend reforms,
or possibly replace it with something else.
Dr Bell and his team would recommend reforms that “respect national sovereignty and stop interference in people’s lives” (NF).
Dr Bell
“I and my colleagues have been increasingly concerned with the departure of the WHO from its roots.
We care passionately about international health,
and with the right set of reforms,
can improve the health of all peoples,
restore national ownership,
protect bodily autonomy,
end conflicts of interest
and restore good governance.”
If the WHO could not be reformed,
it would have to be replaced by
“a body more fit for purpose and reflective of the will of the world’s peoples”.
