Today, the Department of State, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), transmitted the official U.S. rejection of the 2024 amendments to the International Heath Regulations (IHR) (2005).

In covid, things got bad when World Health Organization (WHO) merely advised lockdowns, mandates & vaxx card-ing people.

New regulations give WHO new powers to dictate those things.

But not in countries who reject it, as done by USA & 6 others.

Trend of last few years, has been for bureaucrats to call just about anything they desire a "health emergency". Climate etc.
