The Road to Geneva Event: We start by recapping the three-day event in Geneva at the end of May and the beginning of June. James explains the significance of the WHO's discussions on the IHR amendments and the pandemic treaty, and why the adoption of the IHR amendments is a critical issue. Misinformation and Misunderstandings: We address the widespread misinformation claiming that the pandemic treaty was dead and the implications of this narrative. James clarifies the ongoing negotiations and the WHO's relentless push to finalize the treaty by the end of 2024. Equity and Global Health: We delve into the concept of "vaccine apartheid" and the WHO's efforts to promote equitable access to vaccines. James shares his insights on how this initiative is more about financial gain for big pharma and less about public health. Surveillance and One Health Approach: James highlights the WHO's shift towards "preventive surveillance" and its potential dangers. We discuss how this approach could lead to unnecessary fearmongering and the implementation of harmful policies based on speculative data. Local Impact and Action: We emphasize the importance of local action and awareness. James and I agree that the real fight against these overreaching policies happens at the local level. It's crucial for individuals to push back against local authorities and stand up for their rights and freedoms. Throughout our conversation, James provides detailed insights and actionable information to help you stay informed and proactive in the face of these global developments.
