Watch: Morano’s 1-hour Updated Great Reset & Climate Lockdown Speech – ‘This is the Sovietization of America to meet climate compliance rules!’ – Presented in person in Tucson Arizona

Great Reset: Global Elites & The Permanent Lockdown – Marc Morano – Marc Morano of https://climatedepot.com speaks at the 41st Annual Meeting of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, July 9, 2023, Tucson, AZ. Morano: ‘This is the Sovietization of American society — literally the Sovietization of every aspect of your life — from your ice cubes to your pizza to your gas stoves to your thermostats — they are all going to be regulated to meet climate compliance rules!” .  

The New Yorker Cites Depot on French flight ban: ‘This is what a climate lockdown looks like,’ Morano said. ‘The climate agenda demands you give up airline travel, car travel, cheap reliable energy, & plentiful food’

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/to-save-the-planet-should-we-really-be-moving-slower To Save the Planet, Should We Really Be Moving Slower? The degrowth movement makes a comeback. By Bill McKibben July 5, 2023 Excerpt: The populist Yellow Vest movement, initially ignited in the provinces by a rise in gas prices and a green tax on diesel, has become a major force in French politics. And imagine what the response would be to most of these proposals in certain quarters of this country; the Green New Deal was widely disparaged owing to a Fox News claim that it would limit hamburger consumption. Here, for instance, is how Marc Morano, a prominent advocate for the fossil-fuel industry, reacted to the news of the French flight ban: “This is what a climate lockdown looks like,” he said. “The climate agenda demands you give up airline travel, car travel, cheap reliable energy, and plentiful food. Net Zero goals are now dictating vehicle shortages to force more people into mass transit. They’re going after your freedom of movement; they’re going after private car ownership, they’re going after everything it means to be a free person and turning it over to the administrative state.” I think, in other words, that this is going to be a fairly slow cultural shift, not just in the U.S. but in much of the world, and particularly in places where many people are just starting to eat meat in quantity and have every reason to want a larger home. 

WEF-China ‘Summer Davos’ recap: Klaus praises Wuhan lockdowns, speakers call for ‘public-private’ partnership on CBDCs

China opens its doors to the world by kicking off its first in-person ‘Summer Davos’ since the pandemic WEF-China recap: Klaus praises Wuhan lockdowns, speakers call for ‘public-private’ partnership on CBDCs By JORDAN SCHACHTEL “Summer Davos” is essentially the Chinese state-sponsored version of the WEF’s annual Winter confab in Davos, which features leaders of the Western ruling class. The WEF and its backers have taken great strides to cozy up to the CCP, believing Xi Jinping’s China to be the future global hegemon. … The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are currently presiding over their annual “Summer Davos” conference in China, which started on Tuesday and ends Thursday. The top items on the agenda for the “Annual Meeting of the New Champions” includes — unsurprisingly for those who are familiar with Davos — the climate hoax and central bank digital currencies, two issues that the WEF and its enablers are leveraging in an attempt to transfer more power to the Western and Eastern ruling classes. Here are the major highlights from days one and two: WEF leader Klaus Schwab praises China’s brutal lockdowns. New Zealand’s new prime minister cozies up to Klaus Schwab and the CCP, via Rebel News. The Five Eyes intelligence sharing partner nation PM later described his meeting with Xi as “warm” and “constructive.” Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad said that “we are at the cusp of physical currency essentially disappearing,” and that programmable money is the future. China’s leaders declared Beijing a champion of mitigating the climate hoax, despite China being the world’s biggest polluter. In several panels, the WEF agenda items highlighted the importance of “public-private partnerships” in developing a centrally controlled financial system, one that leverages the private sector engine to develop new technologies, but hands ultimate control of these applications over to the ruling classes. A notable co-chair of the event is the BlackRock-controlled Jeremy Allaire, whose company manages the USDC digital “stablecoin.” During his panel, Allaire pitched the idea of his centralized asset being the ideal platform for a “public-private” CBDC. The day one agenda focused mostly on the climate hoax. Day two moved to the global financial system and central bank digital currencies. The day three agenda covers similar topics. # World Economic Forum partners with official CCP Central Propaganda Network for ‘Summer Davos’ conference By JORDAN SCHACHTEL During this week’s “Summer Davos” conference in Tianjin, China, The World Economic Forum (WEF) quietly partnered on multiple discussion forums with the China Central Television Network, a state media operation that reports directly to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s Central Propaganda Department. Over the course of this week, WEF panelists (including World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab) have been lavishing praise upon the Chinese government for its ruthless lockdowns in Wuhan, in addition to its authoritarian financial censorship policies and its infamous Social Credit Score system. … Not only are the WEF-invited panelists acting as bootlickers for the CCP, some of the hosts of the discussion forums at Summer Davos report directly to the Chinese Communist Party. For example, in a Thursday panel titled, “China’s Economy: The Big Rebound?” a note below the panel reads, “This session was developed in collaboration with China Central Television Network.” According to Freedom House, China Central Television Network (CCTV) exists to “attack designated enemies of the Communist Party.” Moreover, the broadcaster is known to “build local audiences with attractive and innocuous content” so that “it can be mobilized at key political moments to attack CCP opponents.” The host of the Word Economic Forum panel is a broadcaster named Tian Wei, who also happens to be credentialed as a WEF Young Global Leader, according to her Twitter account.

The Manila Times features Depot on France banning short flights: ‘This is what a climate lockdown looks like. This is what the Great Reset looks like’

https://www.msn.com/en-ph/travel/news/climate-lockdowns-begin-france-bans-short-haul-flights-to-fight-climate-change/ar-AA1cF0K7 Climate lockdowns begin; France bans short-haul flights to fight climate change by Yen Makabenta MARC Morano, founder of the Climate Depot website, first warned of the danger of travel bans in his book Green Fraud in 2021. He wrote: “The climate alarmists and activists were first of all jealous when the Covid lockdowns happened at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. They were beside themselves, saying, ‘How is this happening?’ Everyone from Greta Thunberg to John Kerry, and UN officials. And then they started saying, ‘We need to follow this. If we can shut down for a virus, we can shut down for the climate.’ And that’s what we’re seeing now. There are even academics in Australia proposing adding climate change to death certificates. And Bill Gates has said the death toll will be greater than the pandemic. So they’re following every step of the way, and it’s not just, you know, a professor here, or someone in academia. We have a major UK report coming out, as well as an international agency report that will call for essentially the same type of lockdowns — everything from restrictions on your thermostat to restrictions [on] moving. You can only fly in a climate emergency, one that’s ‘morally justifiable.’ You know, kinda like a lockdown, you have to justify going to the store for essential services.” ‘Symbolic bans’ Morano’s apprehension has started to happen. Starting on the first of June, France has banned domestic short-haul flights where train alternatives exist, in a bid to cut carbon emissions. The law came into force two years after lawmakers had voted to end routes where the same journey could be made by train in under two-and-a-half hours. The ban all but rules out air travel between Paris and cities including Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux, while connecting flights are unaffected. Critics have described the latest measures as “symbolic bans.” Laurent Donceel, interim head of industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E), told the AFP news agency that “banning these trips will only have minimal effects” on CO2 output. Governments should instead support “real and significant solutions” to the issue, he said. Airlines around the world have been severely hit by the coronavirus pandemic, with the website Flightradar24 reporting that the number of flights last year was down almost 42 percent from 2019. The French government had faced calls to introduce even stricter rules. France’s Citizens’ Convention on Climate, which was created by President Emmanuel Macron in 2019 and included 150 members of the public, had proposed scrapping plane journeys where train journeys of under four hours existed. Marc Morano commented on banning short airline flights: “This is what a climate lockdown looks like. This is what the Great Reset looks like. The climate agenda demands you give up airline travel, car travel, cheap reliable energy, and plentiful food. Net Zero goals are now dictating vehicle shortages to force more people into mass transit. “They’re going after your freedom of movement. They’re going after private car ownership. They’re going after everything it means to be a free person and turning it over to the administrative state.” French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir had earlier called on lawmakers to retain the four-hour limit. “On average, the plane emits 77 times more CO2 per passenger than the train on these routes, even though the train is cheaper and the time lost is limited to 40 minutes,” it said. It also called for “safeguards that [French national railway] SNCF will not seize the opportunity to artificially inflate its prices or degrade the quality of rail service.” The law will mostly rule out air trips between Paris Orly airport and regional hubs such as Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux. Critics have noted that the cutoff point is shy of the roughly three hours it takes to travel from Paris to the Mediterranean port city of Marseille by high-speed rail. As rail services improve, more routes could be added such as those between Paris Charles de Gaulle and Lyon and Rennes as well as journeys between Lyon and Marseille. They currently don’t meet the criteria for the ban because trains to airports in Paris and Lyon don’t allow passengers to arrive early in the morning or late in the evening. Connecting flights are unaffected by the new law. Train services must meet certain conditions to replace flights. The new law specifies that train services on the same route must be frequent, timely and well-connected enough to meet the needs of passengers who would otherwise travel by air — and able to absorb the increase in passenger numbers. In October 2021, Greenpeace demanded an EU-wide ban on any flights where the rail journey would take under six hours…. Germany also has short-haul flights in its sights. While not banning or cutting back on them, the German government recently doubled the amount of tax levied on short flight tickets. Spain, meanwhile, has said it wants to eliminate all short-haul flights by 2050…. Austria has taken a similar tack: when the government bailed out Austrian Airlines during the pandemic, the carrier was ordered to stop operating its Vienna-Salzburg route so that customers could prioritize train travel instead. France’s Minister of Transportation Clement Beaune admits intending to spread the ban beyond France’s borders. In an interview with Le Parisien, he said “that the EU must act as one on this matter to ensure that all have the same rules and impact is maximized.” He also announced plans to promote the agenda at October’s meeting of European transportation ministers…. The UN-approved book “Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet,” explained that “effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced.” Morano wrote: “The turn toward climate lockdowns epitomizes the irrationality, silliness and self-absorption of the climate crusade. It shows that it really knows no bounds… “You can only fly in a climate emergency, one that’s ‘morally justifiable.’ You know, kinda like a lockdown, you have to justify going to the store for essential services. They’re going after freedom of movement. They’re going after private car ownership. They’re going after everything it means to be a free person and turning it over to the administrative state.” What will BBM bring back from Dubai? When the climate summit takes place in Dubai in November, climate lockdowns will almost surely be on the table for discussion. President Marcos Jr. has eagerly accepted an invitation to attend the conference, confirming yet again his inability to resist an opportunity to travel abroad at public expense. Let’s pray that when he returns home, his pasalubong is not a sweeping ban on short-haul flights. Should this be his surprise, the ban should include a restriction on his own foreign travels. Fair is fair.

Landmark study looking at 20,000 papers on global impact of lockdowns finds benefits were ‘negligible’ but collateral costs ‘staggering’ – ‘Biggest policy mistake in our lifetime’

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/06/05/lockdown-benefits-drop-in-the-bucket-compared-to-the-costs-landmark-study-finds/ Lockdown Benefits “Drop in the Bucket Compared to the Costs”, Landmark Study Finds BY TOBY YOUNG Who would have thought it? A new landmark meta-study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Sweden’s Lund University has concluded that that draconian restrictions imposed on the British population in the spring of 2020 saved fewer than 1,700 lives in England and Wales and were “a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs”. The Telegraph has more. Scientists from Johns Hopkins University and Lund University examined almost 20,000 studies on measures taken to protect populations against Covid across the world. Their findings suggest that lockdowns in response to the first wave of the pandemic, when compared with less strict policies adopted by the likes of Sweden, prevented as few as 1,700 deaths in England and Wales. In an average week there are around 11,000 deaths in England and Wales. The report authors said their findings showed that the draconian measures had a “negligible impact” on Covid mortality and were a “policy failure of gigantic proportions”. Johns Hopkins is one of the most respected medical schools in the world and became known during the pandemic for its Covid dashboard measuring cases and deaths all over the world. The study’s authors conclude: “The science of lockdowns is clear; the data are in: the deaths saved were a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs imposed.” The detrimental impact of lockdown on children’s health and education, on economic growth and its contribution to large increases in public debt has become increasingly clear since the policy was introduced. However, The Telegraph recently revealed that a secretive government unit worked with social media companies during the pandemic in an attempt to curtail criticism of controversial lockdown policies. The Covid Disinformation Unit monitored social media and asked tech companies to remove posts it considered to be “potentially harmful content”. Britain’s first lockdown, in March 2020, was introduced on the basis of modelling exercises from Prof Neil Ferguson which had predicted there could be more than 500,000 deaths in the UK, without action to stop the spread of the virus. His research had suggested that even with mitigations such as social distancing, and household quarantines for Covid cases, there could be at least 250,000 deaths, unless further measures were taken. The new study on the impact of lockdowns is published in a report by the Institute of Economic Affairs out on Monday. Across Europe, countries which embarked on lockdowns saw 6,000 fewer deaths than if they had embarked on a less draconian approach, while the US could have seen 4,000 fewer deaths, they conclude. By contrast, modelling by Prof Ferguson and his colleagues from Imperial College London in March 2020 had predicted that, without action, the UK could see 510,000 deaths from Covid, with 2.2 million in the United States. After lockdown was imposed, the scientist suggested that “intense social distancing and other interventions now in place” could reduce that figure to 20,000 in the UK. The Covid Inquiry is set to examine the Government’s decision making during the pandemic but it has already been the subject of significant criticism relating to its speed, scope and transparency. Researchers for the Johns Hopkins study said the findings showed that lockdowns had been “a global policy failure of gigantic proportions”. Co-author Dr. Lars Jonung, professor emeritus at the Knut Wicksell Centre for Financial Studies at Sweden’s Lund University, said the study was the first to fully evaluate the impact of mandatory restrictions. He said: “It demonstrates that lockdowns were a failed promise. They had negligible health effects but disastrous economic, social and political costs to society. Most likely lockdowns represent the biggest policy mistake in modern times.” Prof. Steve H. Hanke, co-author and professor of applied economics and co-director of the Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise at Johns Hopkins University: said: “When it comes to Covid, epidemiological models have many things in common: dubious assumptions, hair-raising predictions of disaster that miss the mark, and few lessons learned.” The researchers examined 19,646 potentially relevant studies, selecting 22 with standardised measures for meta analysis. Worth reading in full. Stop Press: The conclusions of Dr. Lars Jonung and Prof. Steve Hanke et al are remarkably similar to those of Kevin Bardosh, which we reported on last week. Having reviewed 600 papers looking at the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions during the pandemic, Bardosh concluded that the collateral damage was “substantial, wide-ranging and will leave behind a legacy of harm for hundreds of millions of people”. Stop Press 2: The Telegraph has another story, providing more detail on the researchers’ findings, here. In addition, two of the researchers have written a comment piece arguing that “lockdowns were a colossal global policy failure that should never be imposed again”. New study looking at 20,000 papers on the global impact of the lockdowns says the benefits were "negligible", whereas the collateral costs were "staggering". “Biggest policy mistake in our lifetime," the authors conclude https://t.co/BlQZ2gDh0b — Toby Young (@toadmeister) June 5, 2023

Watch: Morano on OAN TV on France flight bans: ‘This is what a climate lockdown looks like. This is what the Great Reset looks like’

Video also available here: Climate Depot Founder, Marc Morano, On Short Flight Bans In The Name of Climate Change One America News – In Focus w/ Alison Steinberg – Broadcast June 2, 2023  Morano: “The thing about France is, you can’t take short flights under two and a half hours. Well, originally, the French government wanted to do four hours and under flight bans. So we should be thankful to our Bettors that they reduced it you know 2 1/2 hours because otherwise it’d be four hours. Greenpeace wants an EU-wide flight ban on six-hour and under flights. And this is already spreading to Spain and Austria and Germany — they’re already talking about similar types of flight bans.”    

Study: Lower emissions during the COVID lockdowns caused climate warming effect – ‘Short-lived cooling particles in the air was greatly reduced’

https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2023/05/reduced-air-pollution-during-covid-lockdowns-exacerbated-global-warming/ By E&T editorial staff Published Wednesday, May 31, 2023 While reduced air pollution emissions leads to better air quality, they also enable stronger climate warming effects, scientists in Sweden have said. A team from Stockholm University analysed air quality data captured during the Covid pandemic shutdowns in South Asia. They found that the concentration of short-lived cooling particles in the air was greatly reduced, while the concentration of long-lived greenhouse gases was barely affected. Emissions of sulphur, nitrogen oxides and other air pollutants lead to the formation of particles in the air that can offset the full climate warming caused by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. But there has been a lack of knowledge about this ‘masking effect’. In order to determine the size, large-scale experiments involving huge regions would be required, which is infeasible, except during the Covid pandemic when those conditions were replicated. The activity of many industries and transportation worldwide decreased due to pandemic restrictions in spring 2020. At Hanimaadhoo, a measuring station in the northernmost Maldives off the coast of India, researchers have been measuring the atmospheric composition and radiation for two decades. The measuring station is strategically placed to capture air masses from the Asian subcontinent and located in an area with few regional emission sources. It was discovered that while the concentrations of polluting short-lived air particles decreased significantly, the concentrations of longer-lived greenhouse gases were barely affected in the air mass over South Asia. The cooling effect of the aerosols comes from the fact that they reflect incoming solar radiation back into space. With a lower aerosol content, there is less cooling, and thus less ‘masking’ of the warming effect of the significantly longer-lived climate gases. Measurements taken at the same time over the northern Indian Ocean revealed a 7 per cent increase in solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, thus increasing temperatures. “Through this large-scale geophysical experiment, we were able to demonstrate that while the sky became bluer and the air cleaner, climate warming increased when these cooling air particles were removed,” said Professor Örjan Gustafsson, who led the study. The results show that a complete phasing out of fossil-fuel combustion in favour of renewable energy sources with zero emissions could result in rapid ‘unmasking’ of aerosols, while greenhouse gases linger. “During a couple of decades, emission reductions risk leading to net climate warming due to the ‘masking’ effect of air particles, before the temperature reduction from reduced greenhouse gas emissions takes over. But despite an initial climate warming effect, we obviously still urgently need a powerful emission reduction,” Gustafsson added. # The Hill: Climate paradox: Emission cuts could ‘unmask’ deadly face of climate change, scientists warn – One the one hand, cutting fossil fuel pollution is necessary for avoiding severe destruction over the long term. But such cuts will make the earth much hotter in the short term. … These cuts remain one of the only examples of successful cuts to climate-warming pollution, but the new study found that those pandemic-era cuts in air pollution led to a rise in global temperatures. The findings, published on Wednesday in the journal NPJ Climate and Atmospheric Science, unveil a stark paradox at the heart of human-caused climate change.

Climate Lockdowns Begin: France bans short-haul flights ‘to cut carbon emissions’ – You Will Go Nowhere & Be Happy

France Bans Short-Haul Flights to Tackle Climate Change – Banning convenience to ‘save the planet’ – get used to it guys, this is just the start if they can get away with it. # https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65687665 France has banned domestic short-haul flights where train alternatives exist, in a bid to cut carbon emissions.

France’s ban on short-haul domestic flights comes into force 23 May. Under a government decree, any journeys that are possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train cannot be taken as a flight. France is also cracking down on the use of private jets for short journeys in a bid to make transport greener and fairer for the population. Transport minister Clément Beaune said the country could no longer tolerate the super rich using private planes while the public are making cutbacks to deal with the energy crisis and climate change. Which flights are now banned in France? The law will mostly rule out air trips between Paris Orly airport and regional hubs such as Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux. Critics have noted that the cutoff point is shy of the roughly three hours it takes to travel from Paris to the Mediterranean port city Marseille by high-speed rail. As rail services improve, more routes could be added such as those between Paris Charles de Gaulle and Lyon and Rennes as well as journeys between Lyon and Marseille.

Well, one way is through banning short-haul flights outright, especially when there are valid bus or train alternatives. And that’s a route that several European countries have already taken – but could more follow suit? A couple of years ago, a poll found that 62 percent of Europeans would support a ban on short-haul flights. In other words, banning them might not just be a good, environmentally-friendly policy. It could also be pretty popular. # France bans short-haul domestic flights despite widespread criticism – Travelers will now be forced to use rail alternatives as France seeks to reduce its carbon footprint # 'A hotter world is a more chaotic and dangerous world.'

This equates to an average of two days per week. The alternative is to drive out on to the ring road and then back in to the destination. A maximum of three permits a household will be allowed where there are several adults with cars registered to the address. # From the Oxford City Council Consultation page we see the plan is to reduce journeys that you think are necessary but the councilors don’t. “Why are we introducing trial traffic filters? Across our county, we want to reduce unnecessary journeys by private vehicles and make walking, cycling, public and shared transport the natural first choice. This will help us deliver an affordable, sustainable and inclusive transport system that enables the county to thrive whilst protecting the environment and making Oxfordshire a better place to live for all residents.” Update: Totalitarian wackiness has it rewards! Oxfordshire County Council picks up three environmental awards # Great Reset By Marc Morano – Chapter 12 Excerpt: ‘COVID Lockdowns Morph to Climate Lockdowns’ | Climate Depot  Update: Oxford replies to “misinformation” & issues “FAQs to set the record straight” Domestic Flights Banned in France to Cut Carbon – Morano warned Tucker Carlson specifically about travel bans back in 2021 President-elect Joe Biden in 2020: “Folks, we’re in a crisis. Just like we need to be a unified nation in response to Covid-19, we need a unified national response to climate change.” … France’s Minister of Transportation, Clement Beaune: Beaune admits intending to spread the ban beyond France’s borders. In an interview with Le Parisien, he said “that the EU must act as one on this matter to ensure that all ‘have the same rules and impact is maximized.’” He also announced plans to promote the agenda at October’s meeting of European transportation ministers. … The UN-approved book Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet, explained that “effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced.” … Morano warned Tucker Carlson specifically about travel bans back in 2021: “In my book Green Fraud I detailed two chapters on this, Tucker. This is, the climate activists were first of all jealous when the Covid lockdowns happened. They were beside themselves, saying, “How is this happening?” Everyone from Greta Thunberg to John Kerry, UN officials. And then they started saying, “We need to follow this. If we can shut down for a virus, we can shut down for climate.” And that’s what we’re seeing. There’s even academics in Australia proposing adding climate change to death certificates. And Bill Gates has said the death toll will be greater. So they’re following every step of the way, and it’s not just, you know, a professor here, or someone in academia. We have a major U.K. report coming out, we have an international agency report that came out calling for essentially the same type of lockdowns — everything from restrictions on your thermostat to restrictions [on] moving. You can only fly in a climate emergency, one that’s “morally justifiable.” You know, kinda like a lockdown, you have to justify going to the store for essential services. They’re going after freedom of movement. They’re going after private car ownership. They’re going after everything it means to be a free person and turning it over to the administrative state.” # A 2019 report on a ‘1.5C World’: The C40 Cities report also calls for “consumption interventions” to limit short airplane trips to “One short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person” by 2030. Page 90: Aviation: effect of consumption interventions If all residents of C40 cities fly less38 and airlines increase the proportion of sustainable aviation fuel they use as outlined in the progressive target, a cumulative 43% emissions saving can be achieved (Figure 25). The relative contributions of the two consumption interventions are similar, though it should be noted that the adoption of sustainable biofuel is dependent on also limiting the number of flights to avoid potentially negative consequences on other systems (such as land and water required for producing feedstocks, and potential competition with other land uses such as food production).

Watch: Fmr. Rep. Michele Bachmann at WHO Meeting in Geneva – Previews pandemic lockdowns & medical tyranny

https://warroom.org/michele-bachmann-who-meetings-preview-increases-in-global-influence/ Former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann joins Steve Bannon’s War Room live from Geneva for the World Health Assembly at the United Nations. Bachmann reports that parties are agreeing that both the pandemic treaty and the 300 amendments that have been put forward for international health rules are going to be presented in documents in 2024 and then voted on in a years time. These provisions which are being integrated into rules are centered around pandemic lockdowns and medical tyranny. The rules push a globalist economic standard with one world health care.
