(LifeSiteNews) – Microsoft co-founder and left-wing financier Bill Gates is calling for a global “fire department for pandemics” to avoid “making the same mistakes” as were made in response to COVID-19, backing a World Health Organization (WHO) project amid concerns about American sovereignty being ceded to the international body.
Writing March 19 in the New York Times, Gates likens the handling of public health emergencies to firefighting, which requires a rapid response fully prepared to not just stop the fire where it is but prevent it from spreading to other homes. “The same is true for infectious diseases, except on a much bigger scale,” he says.
“I’m optimistic about a network that the W.H.O. and its partners are building called the Global Health Emergency Corps,” Gates writes. To be effective, he argues, this corps will need “large-scale testing capabilities,” “[e]nvironmental surveillance like sewage testing,” funding in the trillions of dollars, and “professionals from every country and region,” built on “existing networks of experts and be led by people like the heads of national public health agencies and their leads for epidemic response.”
All of the above “will require two things: First, public health leaders from all countries need to participate,” Gates says. “The next pandemic could emerge anywhere, and so the Emergency Corps must have expertise from every corner of the globe, including from national disease and research agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Second, we need wealthier countries to step up and provide funding to make this a reality.”
While the op-ed focuses on superficially innocuous measures, it advocates an overall vision in which substantial discretion would be given to the WHO, which is currently considering a pandemic treaty that would empower it to dictate the pandemic policies of its 194 member states, despite WHO’s mishandling of the COVID outbreak.
The WHO Pandemic Treaty looks set to be one of the biggest power-grabs in living memory, with unelected globalists seeking the power to declare pandemics, and then control your country’s response.
But it’s not too late to do something about it.
SIGN and SHARE this special petition telling Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the WHO will never usurp your nation’s sovereignty.
The past two years have been rife with infringements on personal liberties and civil rights by national governments, but now the World Health Organization is seeking to appropriate those same abusive powers to itself at a global level.
194 member states representing 99% of the world’s population are expected to sign pandemic treaties with the WHO that would allow Tedros, or any future Director General, to dictate exactly how your nation would respond to a new disease outbreak which they consider a pandemic.
This attack on national sovereignty will come as no surprise to those who for years have listened to elites like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates discussing their vision for the centralization of power into globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF), the WHO and the rest of the United Nations.
SIGN this petition against the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty, before it’s too late.
Ludicrously, 20 world leaders calling for the treaty, including Tedros, Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron, compared the post-Covid world to the post-WWII period, saying similar co-operation is now needed to “dispel the temptations of isolationism and nationalism, and to address the challenges that could only be achieved together in the spirit of solidarity and co-operation – namely peace, prosperity, health and security.”
Australian PM Scott Morrison is the latest leader to express support for a “pandemic treaty”.
The stated intention of the WHO is to “kickstart a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”
The wheels are already in motion, with the Biden administration officially proposing the initial steps towards handing global pandemic control to the WHO.
Biden’s representatives have submitted amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR), which would give the Director General the right to declare health emergencies in any nation, even when disputed by the country in question.
These amendments, which would be legally binding under international law, will be voted on by the World Health Assembly (the governing body of the WHO) at a special convention running from May 22-28 and set the stage for a fully-fledged pandemic treaty to be passed.
SIGN and SHARE the petition telling the WHO that you won’t accept any pandemic treaty
The ball has been rolling since the last World Health Assembly meeting in December, where the United States launched negotiations “on a new international health instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response,” a U.S. statement read.
“This momentous step represents our collective responsibility to work together to advance health security and to make the global health system stronger and more responsive.
“We look forward to broad and deep negotiations using a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach that will strengthen the international legal framework for public health/pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response and enable us to address issues of equity, accountability, and multisectoral collaboration evident in the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We know it will take all of us working together across governments, private sector, philanthropy, academia, and civil society to make rapid progress towards a long-term solution for these complex problems,” the U.S. statement added.
SIGN the petition today to show the WHO that you won’t accept this attack on national sovereignty.
These are precarious times in which freedom and self-determination must be defended from those who would ride rough-shod over your civil rights.
We do not want to go back to global lockdowns, vaccine mandates and propoganda.
Sign the petition – speak up now!

It also doubles down on maintaining the influence of the same federal health bureaucracy behind lockdown, masking, and vaccination policies that evidence now suggests did more harm than good, and which mounting evidence suggests worked to stifle discussion of the virus’s origins for political or ideological reasons.
Gates himself is one of those “experts,” who despite his lack of medical expertise emerged as a leading voice for the establishment COVID response, only to admit in January that the COVID vaccines did not prevent infections, were ineffective against new variants, and therefore did not sufficiently protect the elderly.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the second largest financial contributor to the WHO, after the U.S. federal government.
