To raise awareness of what constitutes an emergency and what States' obligations are in such, World Council for Health has published a Legal Brief on Preventing the Abuse of Public Health Emergencies
“… the widespread misuse of emergency measures during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic….”
Question: Was there even a “pandemic”?
IF the answer is “no”, then WHY continue the use of the word “pandemic”???
Why not call it an “event” instead? Or something similar.
The continued use of the word “pandemic” is re-inforcing the “official” narrative… IMO…
BTW... I just subscribed to leave this comment, because it feels important enough to me. Words are important.. I MAY stay on with the subscription... or not...
Thanks, Nicoletta, for this valuable comment. I agree with you and usually refer to the event a Covid crisis rather than 'pandemic'. I will share your feedback with the WCH team so that it can be incorporated into a revised document. Thanks again!
