According to The Telegraph, the United Kingdom is refusing to sign the World Health Organization’s pandemic treaty. The outlet said the UK is “firmly against” vaccine-related commitments that require the country to “give away a fifth of its jabs.” The UK “will not sign any form of the pandemic agreement that undermines Britain’s sovereignty,” The Telegraph stated. Britain is refusing to sign the WHO’s pandemic treaty, The Telegraph newspaper has reported. The UK is “firmly against such vaccine-related commitments, and will not sign any form of pandemic agreement that undermines Britain’s sovereignty.”https://t.co/WclW3cWEHV — gript (@griptmedia) May 9, 2024 The Telegraph reports: At the peak of the Covid emergency, nations planned to sign a legally binding document, informally known as the pandemic treaty, or pandemic accord, that would force countries to tackle the next global health emergency in a united way. Under the terms of the latest draft of the treaty, now in its ninth and final iteration, all member states, including the UK, would be obliged to give up 20 per cent of “pandemic-related health products” to other countries and would be prevented from stockpiling supplies. This would include therapeutics, PPE and vaccines. The WHO document states the UN-run agency would get “real-time access” to 10 per cent of these products for free, and 10 per cent “at affordable prices”. The divisive document says countries should “set aside a portion of its total procurement of relevant diagnostics, therapeutics or vaccines in a timely manner for use in countries facing challenges… and avoid having national stockpiles of pandemic-related health products”. A source familiar with the negotiations said: “The UK could not accept these proposals in their current form – and they have not been agreed.” “Britain is refusing to sign the WHO pandemic treaty while it insists that the UK would have to give away 20% of its therapeutics, PPE and vaccines.” https://t.co/JriBBFfywF — James Melville (@JamesMelville) May 9, 2024 UsForThemUK wrote: Critical session in the UK House of Lords yesterday covering the @WHO Pandemic Accords Lord Strathcarron calls for a DEFERRAL of this month’s World Health Assembly vote “so we can have proper Parliamentary scrutiny of what the Government is signing us up to”. As far as we are aware Lord Strathcarron’s challenge is the first time that the UK Government has been challenged in Parliament on the LEGALITY (or otherwise) of proceeding with the WHA vote in May 2024 given the breach of the four month notice period required under Article 55(2) IHR. @IanStrathcarron: “The fact remains that Article 55(2) clearly says that the [WHO] is required to give Member States four months written notice before the amendments are agreed at the end of this month and it has clearly failed to do so…bearing this in mind, and that the UK Government has been less than transparent about the UK’s aims in these negotiations and the WHO’s woeful performance in the Covid pandemic would the Minister agree that … it would be wise to delay the votes until the next WHA so we can have proper Parliamentary scrutiny of what the Government is signing us up to.” WATCH: Critical session in the UK House of Lords yesterday covering the @WHO Pandemic Accords Lord Strathcarron calls for a DEFERRAL of this month's World Health Assembly vote "so we can have proper Parliamentary scrutiny of what the Government is signing us up to".

The spokesperson did not comment on the details of the specific accord proposals, adding “no proposals have been agreed” as other countries also rally to reject the plea for a “global pandemic treaty.” The new pact – first proposed in 2021 – and a series of updates since to existing rules for dealing with pandemics from the W.H.O. are intended to establish central control in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. One of the main points of disagreement is the issue of sharing drugs and vaccines. W.H.O. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said last week that countries need to agree to the accord within the deadline to help fight future pandemics. He added countries who did not fully agree with the text to at least refrain from blocking consensus among W.H.O.’s 194 member states. As Tedros works towards getting sovereign national governments to accede to his plan, voters in the UK are not so sure. The WHO’s pandemic treaty and IHR amendments have also faced resistance in the United States. Last week, all 49 Republican U.S. Senators, led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), penned a letter to Joe Biden urging to withdraw support from expanding the WHO’s pandemic authority.

The wife of a South Carolina pastor who warned her sister he may shoot her died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a medical examiner has ruled. Mica Miller, 30, made various claims of harassment and abuse in the weeks and months before she was found with a gunshot wound to the head on April 27. One of those claims, according to her sister, Sierra Francis, was that Miller’s husband, John-Paul, was to blame if she was found with a fatal head wound, The Christian Post reported. Francis made the claim in a sworn affidavit as part of her bid to serve as special administrator for Miller’s estate. Francis also said in the affidavit that Miller had served her husband divorce papers just two days before her death. “My sister also expressed to me that she was fearful that she would not make it to the divorce and that her life would be taken from her. It is my belief, based on conversations with my sister, that she told multiple people, including other family members,” Francis said in the affidavit. “Mica stated to me on many occasions ‘if I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it was JP.’ Mica forwarded a family group text message notifying us that Mr. Miller was served the divorce papers on April 25, 2024,” Francis added. “On April 27, 2024, my sister, Mica A. Miller, was found dead as a result of a gunshot wound in Lumberton, North Carolina.” ABC 15 requested reports from the Myrtle Beach Police Department listing Miller as a victim and received one. It also received another report listing her as the offender. In the first report, Miller claimed John-Paul stole her car while she was “involuntarily hospitalized” between February 8 and 10. When she was released, she was told her husband had picked up her keys and purse from the hospital. She returned to the parking lot where she had left her car prior to her hospitalization and discovered it wasn’t there, so she reported it missing and accused her husband of stealing it, saying they had been separated since January 2023. Police contacted John-Paul, who said he and his wife weren’t legally separated and that he had her car but that it was marital property. He also told police that his wife “suffers from mental health disorders” and would have yearly “episodes” around Christmas, causing her to become “reckless” and spend “large amounts of money when she stops taking her prescribed medication.” He told police he wouldn’t return the car for another month, which is how long the “reckless episodes” usually lasted. Police determined that no criminal offense had been committed since the couple was legally married. In the second police report tied to Miller, an employee of the Solid Rock Church, where John-Paul was a pastor at the time, accused Miller of stealing donations totaling $1,199 from the church’s 501C3. The police report indicates an investigation would follow the complaint, but it is not clear if that happened. Miller also made claims about being harassed prior to her death, according to ABC 15. Ultimately, Miller took her own life. Police on Tuesday revealed that John-Paul was at an athletic event during the time of Miller’s death, and surveillance footage showed her purchasing a 9mm handgun that same morning, Fox News reported. On a 911 call released this week, Miller can be heard asking a 911 dispatcher if they could track her location. “I’m about to kill myself, and I just want my family to know where to find me,” Miller told the dispatcher.

I want to assure everyone that a very methodical investigation was conducted by our Criminal Investigations Team and Crime Scene Investigative Team,” Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said in a statement Tuesday, according to Fox. “Unfortunately, rumors and conspiracy theories were spreading quickly, and assumptions were being made.” “However, in the end, we must make decisions based on the facts and evidence that has been gathered,” Wilkins added. “While I know it’s not what many people wanted to hear, the evidence is quite clear and compelling, and we are as saddened as anyone that this occurred. There are many factors that we have reviewed that occurred over an extended period of time that are probably related to the reason for this investigation, but in the end, sadly, a tragic decision was made by Mica that ended her life.” If you are having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or go to SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for a list of additional resources.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated in an interview released Wednesday that abortions at full-term were okay with him. Podcaster and former ESPN host Sage Steele began by asking Kennedy on The Sage Steele Show, “Should there be a limit or you’re saying all the way up to full term, a woman has a right to have an abortion?” “I don’t think any woman through history has ever said I’m going to have a baby; I’m going to get pregnant and carry that baby to eight months of term and then I’m gonna terminate the pregnancy,” Kennedy answered. “I don’t think anybody wants to do that.” “That has happened too many times to count though,” Steele suggested. “I’m sure that has happened; I would say that in almost all those cases there’s extenuating circumstances,” Kennedy surmised. “But who knows? Especially when there’s drugs involved and people aren’t thinking clearly. At the end of the day, it is happening,” Steele said. “What I’m saying is I don’t think any woman sets out saying, ‘I’m going to carry a baby for eight months and abort him,’” Kennedy responded. “Sure, but they could change their minds at eight months. And this is what they’ve seen. So should they be allowed to do it full-term?” Steele asked. “Again, I respect people who — I think there’s a very, very good argument, a compelling argument that the state has [an] interest in protecting a fully-formed fetus; I absolutely think that that argument is very convincing,” Kennedy declared. “Again, I’m down to the fact that I don’t trust the state and I think we need to trust the woman. And I don’t think that that’s a satisfactory outcome, because I think there’s always gonna be instances where bad things happen.” “Yes, we can’t prevent that,” Steele acknowledged. “Either way, there’s gonna be bad things that happen,” Kennedy said. “So, in other words, keeping it as is, with Roe v. Wade having been overturned and leaving it up to the states to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion?” Steele asked. “No, I wouldn’t leave it to the states,” Kennedy said. “You would say completely, it’s up to the woman —” Steele began. “I would say it’s up to the woman,” Kennedy interjected. “We shouldn’t have government involved.” “Even if it’s full-term?” Steele asked. “Even if it’s full-term,” Kennedy concluded. Last year, Kennedy Jr. told NBC News he’d support a national abortion ban after the first three months of pregnancy, but hours later reversed himself, saying, “I believe a decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life.”

IM reader Jana T. sent in today’s video. They have a puppy named Juno, who has been a bit of a grumpy puppy lately. The Anatolian shepherd is growing and seems displeased with that turn of events. One of Juno’s favorite places to lie is along the carpeted stairs. As she grows, she recently discovered that she no longer “fits” on one step. The Anatolian shepherd is a large breed dog in the working dog class. Adult males can weigh 110 to 150 pounds and stand 29 inches or more at the shoulder. Females are slightly smaller. Juno is still a growing puppy. The struggle is real as she fights to remain balanced on the skinny step. Her grumpy puppy act is at its peak, with grumbles and whines for dramatic effect. Image from Facebook. This would be a definite contender if there were an award for the most heartbreaking dramatic act. Juno is ensuring her puppy parents understand the direness of this situation. Every grumble. Every whine. Perfectly pitched and paired with the accompanying movement. Balancing part of her weight on the lower step, Juno dramatically threw her head onto a third step. Looking away from her mom, she signified her discontent. Image from Facebook. If you have ever had a puppy of any breed, you have probably experienced something similar. When they have grumpy puppy moments, everyone must stop what they’re doing and adore the little scamps. The grumpiness won’t last. Juno will probably be bouncing without a care in the world within minutes. Send Juno some love by sharing this. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
