"They Literally Don't Know Why It Behaves That Way!" UK To Hand Over 20% Of Vaccines Under Treaty...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) will have the power to legally demand that Britain hands over 20% of its vaccines and drugs in a pandemic under a treaty due to be ratified next month.

In March 2021, leaders including Boris Johnson announced plans for a new agreement that would bind countries in tackling global health emergencies.

The treaty was criticised for removing sovereign powers, raising fears that Britain would risk signing away its control over pandemic policy to unelected health officials. It has been substantially watered down in the final draft, released this month.

However, under the terms of the new agreement Britain would be obliged to give up 20% of “pandemic-related health products” and prevented from stockpiling supplies.
