Breaking from this trend, the ongoing negotiation of a pandemic treaty at the World Health Organization has captured the global spotlight long before reaching its anticipated conclusion. Yet, despite this heightened attention, the public debate on how to head off future pandemic threats has largely overlooked the potential impact of the WHO Pandemic Agreement on fundamental freedoms, notably freedom of expression.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"shared_attribution\">\n<div class=\"article-auth\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Underway since March 2023, the pandemic accord negotiations seek to establish legally binding rules to enhance international cooperation and to strengthen the role of the WHO in preventing, preparing for, and responding to future pandemics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>To purportedly achieve these objectives, the draft text currently under consideration would commit parties to \u201ctackle\u201d such things as misleading information, misinformation, or disinformation, without offering a definition for these terms or specifying how this would be done. It would also require the \u201cmanagement\u201d of so-called \u201cinfodemics,\u201d defined as \u201c<em>too much information<\/em>, false or misleading information, in digital and physical environments during a disease outbreak\u201d causing \u201cconfusion\u201d as well as \u201cmistrust\u201d in health authorities. These provisions cast a looming shadow of censorship that should alarm anyone who values open discourse and transparent governance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>America is blessed in that our Founding Fathers gave the power to sort out misinformation and truth to the citizens of our country. That sorting was not to be left to the government. We saw during the Covid pandemic that a disease could be used as a weapon to trample the rights supposedly guaranteed by our Constitution. Understand that these rights were not given by our Constitution&#8211;they were supposed to be protected by our Constitution. Also understand that the American Constitution was put in place to limit the power of the government&#8211;not the rights of the people. I am not willing to surrender those rights again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 19th, American Greatness posted an article about the pandemic treaty the World Health Organization (WHO) is negotiating.
