They pay no taxes and are above the laws of ordinary people.
WHO was founded in 1948 and is a specialised agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. It consists of 192 member states, basically the whole of the UN membership, excluding Liechtenstein and the Holy See. And it was originally based on a constitution, which is still in effect today, but this constitution will be fundamentally changed by the two instruments that are in the pipeline following the COVID-19 pandemic, which is domiciled in Geneva.
Its employees are exempt from tax, and they and their families all have diplomatic immunity. It is a supernational body that is unelected and unaccountable.
The WHO set up something called the World Health Assembly. It meets annually in Geneva. It's a legislative and supreme decision-making body that elects the Secretary General and the executive board and votes on policy. The WHO and the current chairperson of the World The Health Assembly of the WHO is headed by a gentleman by the name of Harsh Vada.
In 2021, the Indian Medical Association (the Indian version of the BMJ and the largest association of doctors in India) issued a statement in which it objected to Mr. Vada, who was endorsing Coronel, a product that was being made in India. IMA, the Indian Medical Association, questioned the ethics of a health minister, Mr. Vard, under the health measure at the time of that country to release a fabricated and unscientific product onto the people of India.
Varda since gone on to become chairperson of the WHO, which is going to be presiding over this new treaty that's going to be sitting before every government in the world. And given that he resigned from the cabinet in India over this controversy, why has he ever been trusted with greater responsibility?
