A proposed World Health Organization accord on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response would not give the organization any authority to dictate the U.S. response to future pandemics, despite social media posts claiming otherwise.

Member states would also decide whether provisions in it would be legally binding, the WHO website said.

"This narrative is so far from the truth that it is dangerous and malicious," said Gostin, who is also the director of theGostin said the Biden administration is acting as a"good global citizen" but isn’t close to signing an agreement, and may never do so. It’s not yet clear whether signing the accord may also require Senate confirmation, he said.

Like any international treaty, it may technically be legally binding, but Gostin said the draft often uses the word"should," rather than"shall" or"must," something"If it is truly mandatory, it is for rapid reporting of outbreaks, scientific sharing, and contributing to global equity, such as vaccine donations," Gostin said.

You all said the lab leak was a conspiracy theory. Now we hear today it was true. You all can stick it!

Still no correction to your false fact check about Covid origins

Your spite for conservatives doesn't always age well does it?😆 Especially when Energy Department says the lab leak is the most likely origin...

But we know Dems would gleefully follow WHOs recommendations in future pandemics and create same policies for us. So if Dems in control basically WHO would be dictating our response.

This is to confer on issues and coordinate when needed. If it’s true Covid was a virus escaped from a lab either by error or espionage, the world needs to prepare should something worse be unleashed. GulfWarSyndrome is unproved biological warfare too.
