The Intergovernmental Negotiating Body just released details regarding their upcoming meeting (December 5-7, 2022) regarding the World Health Organization’s proposed “Pandemic Treaty.”
The Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) will be meeting for the third time on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December 5-7, 2022.
At the moment, it is unclear as to whether or not they will be live-streaming their meetings.
As expected, the INB released this information at the most classic moment designed to hide information in plain sight. This morning, BLACK FRIDAY, November 25, 2022, the INB published the seven (7) documents listed below on their nearly invisible web page. I really did expect them to do exactly that on exactly this date. They know that everyone else in the United States is busy recovering from Thanksgiving and the biggest shopping day of the year. This came as no surprise to me.
Documents 5, 6 and 7 are summaries of events that have already happened.
The above schedule is in regards to the proposed “Pandemic Treaty.”
The schedule below is in regards to the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations.
November 28 – December 2, 2022: (IHRRC)
Face-to-face meeting (5 days, Geneva, Switzerland) for report drafting purposes, with, at least, one day meeting with Member States, United Nations and its specialized agencies and other relevant intergovernmental organizations or nongovernmental organizations in official relations with WHO, the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB), and the WGIHR;
December 15-16, 2022: (IHRRC)
Closed virtual working meeting;
January 9-13, 2023: (IHRRC)
Face-to-face meeting (5 days, Geneva, Switzerland) for finalization of the report, with, at least, one day meeting with Member States, United Nations and its specialized agencies and other relevant intergovernmental organizations or nongovernmental organizations in official relations with WHO, the Bureau of the INB, and the WGIHR.
January 15, 2023
WGIHR is scheduled to submit amendments to the Director General of the WHO.
May 2023
The WHO consistently claims that their goal is to consider these amendments at the 77th World Health Assembly in May 2024, but the amendments COULD be voted on by the 76th World Health Assembly in May 2023.
