BREAKING — WHO Pandemic Agreement Approved by Member States, Ushering in a Dangerous New World Health Order

U.S. escapes WHO treaty enabling fast-tracked experimental vaccines, censorship of dissent, and global surveillance systems.

On May 19, 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) took a historic but deeply concerning step: Member States, through Committee A of the World Health Assembly, officially approved the WHO Pandemic Agreement—a sweeping global treaty that is now expected to be formally adopted in plenary session on Tuesday, May 20.

This agreement, hailed by WHO leadership as a landmark tool for “equity,” “solidarity,” and “science-based” pandemic responses, contains alarming provisions that threaten national sovereignty, institutionalize emergency countermeasures, and entrench WHO as the central coordinating authority in future health crises.

Why It Matters That the United States Is Withdrawing from the WHO

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO, citing its COVID-19 failures, lack of reforms, and disproportionate U.S. funding. The move paused all future U.S. funding, ended negotiations on the Pandemic Agreement, and recalled U.S. personnel. The withdrawal takes full effect on January 22, 2026.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

According to Hulscher, the agreement is bad because:

  • National governments will be pressured to align their laws with global dictates
  • Experimental products would be rapidly deployed without sufficient safety data
  • Legitimate scientific dissent could be labeled as misinformation
  • Entire populations could be coerced into compliance with no guaranteed recourse for harm

One day after member states reached this deal, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a surprise video appearance in full support of U.S. withdrawal from the WHO.

“Like many legacy institutions, the WHO has become mired in bureaucratic bloat, entrenched paradigms, conflicts of interest and international power politics. … The WHO often acts like it has forgotten that its members must remain accountable to their own citizens and not to transnational or corporate interests.” ~ Robert F. Kennedy Jr. HHS Secretary

Kennedy said the U.S. is open to international cooperation on public health, but not under the umbrella of the WHO.  He also said the U.S. is pivoting to make the healthcare system more responsive to the chronic disease epidemic.

Reuters reported that 124 countries voted for the agreement. No countries voted against while eleven countries, including Israel, Italy, Poland, Russia, Iran and Slovakia, abstained.

China, Qatar, Switzerland and others pledged over $170 million for the World Health Organization at its assembly on Tuesday, the agency said, and countries also accepted higher fees to help offset the expected loss of the U.S., the top donor.

“In a challenging climate for global health, these funds will help us to preserve and extend our life-saving work,” Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, said in a statement on new donations covering 2025-2028.

If COVID was the dress-rehearsal, I’d hate to see the actual performance of the WHO in any future ‘pandemic.’
