evidence: WHO ‘pandemic treaty’ draft doesn’t sign over US sovereignty CLAIM: A legally-binding World Health Organization "pandemic treaty" will give the organization the authority to control U.S. policies during a pandemic, including those on vaccines, lockdowns, school closures and more. [...] "It should be noted that the US is far from agreeing to sign the Pandemic Treaty, and it will take many months, or longer, even to negotiate a text," Gostin said, adding, "Even if the United States signs the treaty, it would not empower WHO to make any public health decisions in the US or in any other country."
