Important Letter (About The WHO) From JD Vance, Senator From Ohio, April 3, 2023

 

 

Dear XXXXXXX, Thank you for taking the time to write me. As your Senator in Washington, I always want to understand the views of my constituents, especially on issues as important as public health and national sovereignty. You take these issues seriously and I do as well. Let me state my position on the matter clearly: I vehemently oppose all efforts to subvert our national sovereignty and outsource important government powers to foreign international bodies. The World Health Organization (WHO) was profoundly unhelpful at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the final scope of the pandemic attests, the WHO failed in its primary mission to prevent or slow the spread of this new and dangerous disease. Worse yet, this failure was exacerbated when China successfully lobbied WHO to prevent the release of information about the coronavirus to the rest of the world. This double failure has convinced me that the WHO cannot be trusted to manage global disease outbreaks.  As you know, the WHO is currently considering a new treaty that will change the way it addresses pandemics. One such proposed change would empower the WHO to independently declare that a pandemic is emerging in a country without first getting that government’s permission. This provision appears to be a direct response to China’s hiding of the coronavirus pandemic during its initial days. Other parts of the new treaty would create a global vaccine supply for “equitable” distribution and ask signatories to combat pandemic misinformation. I am not convinced that this treaty and its new provisions would improve the lives of Americans in any way. It is an honor to serve you in the United States Senate. As your senator, I take my constitutional responsibilities seriously. One of my responsibilities is to examine new treaties to determine if they are in America’s best interest and vote on them accordingly. Please know that I will jealously guard this constitutional responsibility and insist that the Senate review all international treaties proposed by the president before such treaties become binding. Thank you for your message and your interest in this important issue.   Sincerely,                        JD Vance United States Senator for Ohio        Follow me on social media!
