The WHO’s Authoritarian Tobacco Conferences Prove It Cannot Be Trusted With a Pandemic Treaty

The proposed WHO Pandemic Treaty faces scrutiny for possibly infringing on national sovereignty and lacking transparency, citing the flawed FCTC as a cautionary example. Concerns include biased reporting, exclusionary practices, and undue influence from external entities like Michael Bloomberg. The WHO must prioritize transparency, inclusivity, and impartiality to gain trust before expanding its authority. The FCTC's coercive tactics and lack of diverse input hinder effective policy-making. Transparency, media engagement, and industry inclusion are crucial for fostering trust and collaboration. Addressing these flaws is essential for the WHO to be credible in managing global health agreements effectively.
