Reeves joins 23 governors in opposing pandemic treaty proposal with World Health Organization
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves, alongside 23 other states, opposes President Biden's forthcoming global pandemic treaty with the WHO, which aims to replace current international health regulations with new pandemic-related policies. The governors, concerned about WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's authority to declare health emergencies, argue this could enable the unelected WHO to dictate U.S. health responses and infringe on state rights. Conversely, the U.S. Department of State believes the treaty will enhance pandemic preparedness and international cooperation. The WHO faced criticism for its handling of COVID-19, particularly regarding the virus's origins and China's investigation.
