A WHO pandemic treaty would be a threat to our freedom

Proposals for a global response shouldn’t see the light of day – healthcare decisions must be taken by national parliaments

Having spent two years as director of the WHO cancer programme, I am more informed than most about the eye-watering waste and incompetence that oozes from every crevice of that organisation. Very strong on politics, very weak on expertise.

If the WHO is given any level of binding control and made a global authority on public health measures, then I really do fear for all freedom-loving societies.
