Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticized the Biden administration’s decision to rejoin the highly controversial World Health Organization this week.
“The Biden administration is very close to handing the World Health Organization power over every aspect, the intimate aspects, of your life,” Carlson said.
“So, imagine the civil liberties abuses that you lived through during the COVID lockdowns, but permanent and administered from a foreign country. Here’s what we’re looking at tonight,’ Carlson continued. “This January, the Biden administration submitted a series of proposed amendments to something called the International Health Regulations (the IHR). Now, the Biden administration’s amendments, along with those from several other countries, will be combined to create a new global pandemic treaty. ‘We need a pandemic treaty.’ That treaty is set to be adopted starting this weekend in Geneva at the World Health Assembly.”
“According to the treaty, those vaccines and essential medicines—because it gets better on every page—will be distributed not on the basis of need, but on the basis of equity,” Carlson noted. “Equity is quoted, says, ‘critically important for global health, both as a principle and as an outcome.”‘That’s what the treaty declares. ”
The cable news host continued, “Therefore, the World Health Organization will ensure ‘equitable and effective access to vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and essential supplies and for clinical trials’ and that means, again quoting, ‘health care workers and the most vulnerable will have priority access.’ Not the sickest, not the people who need the medicine most, but the most vulnerable in a larger sense. In other words, favored groups get medicine first.”
“There is no graver violation of medical ethics than this. Every physician, practicing in the United States, promises not to do what you just heard, and it would become mandatory under this treaty,” Carlson said. “And by the way, the language you just heard, that is exactly the justification that officials in several states threw out when they were caught passing out vaccines based on race. This is a power grab. It’s dangerous. It is, by the way, a reward to the very people who screwed up two years of COVID response. Oh, let’s give them more power. This is lunacy. And people who know that it’s happening are upset.”
