The WHO cartel knows its in trouble...
Article by ex GAVI leader Nina Schwalbe proves it. Read the full article at FT.
There are a number of flags showing that the WHO cartel knows its in trouble as far as the proposed new pandemic treaty/accord and IHR amendments are concerned. One of them, is when its DG Tedros holds a presser and admits opponents are an issue. The other is articles like Ninaâs that may have been difficult to write. How much can one say without making the situation look hopeless for the WHO and its stakeholders? Take a look and read it in full.
A few of Ninaâs refreshing public interest takeaways that I took note of:
âThe sense of urgency that gripped nations to be better prepared in future has been replaced by complacency.â
âThe most recent round of treaty talks failed to bring a breakthrough in any of the areas of disagreement, signalling serious trouble ahead.â
âBut as this process has played out, political will has ebbed away. Differences of opinion on thorny issues such as data sharing have hardened into near gridlock.â
âWithin months of this bold first draft being released, however, its language was watered down.â
âThe document is mired in platitudes and hands fundamental responsibility back to the very institutions that failed to respond last time.â
âPerhaps the last chance is the UN General Assemblyâs High-Level Meeting on Pandemics in September. The political declaration posted this week under a Covid-era âsilence procedureâ â which gives limited time for member states to object â offers little hope.â

PS: Ninaâs article is one of the few that offer candid critique. Please read it.
