Die WHO erlangt mit dem neuen Pandemievertrag die Weltherrschaft, kann die Bewegungsfreiheit der Menschen einschränken und beispielsweise Impfzwänge einführen.

Publisher’s rating: Diese Behauptungen sind falsch. Der Entwurf für den Pandemievertrag sieht keine solche Machtverschiebung vor.

The review says the treaty draft contains no authorization for the WHO to impose lockdowns or vaccination requirements. It also notes that the draft emphasizes member states’ sovereignty over public-health matters and that negotiations were still ongoing.

La enfermedad X se ha descubierto y hay alarma mundial.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review explains that “Enfermedad X” is the WHO’s term for a possible future pathogen that is currently unknown, not a newly discovered disease. It says there was no worldwide alert; a Davos panel on January 17, 2024, discussed preparations for a possible future disease, which does not mean one had been discovered or an alert declared.
