Yesterday, Representative Tom Tiffany reintroduced the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act, with support from 10 of his House colleagues. The legislation aims to prevent any future U.S. president from committing to a World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic treaty without the consent of a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate. This move follows concerns raised by the Biden-Harris administration's previous openness to such a treaty, which some believe could lead to ceding U.S. health policy control to international bodies.
Congressman Tiffany stated, "While President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the corrupt WHO, this legislation blocks future administrations from surrendering our sovereignty to globalist schemers." He criticized the WHO for its handling of past pandemics and emphasized the need for congressional oversight.
Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on China supported this stance, saying, "The WHO repeatedly failed the world in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic," attributing misinformation spread during that time to influence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Moolenaar commended former President Trump's decision to withdraw from WHO membership and reject recent pandemic treaties.
The background provided highlights missteps by the WHO during COVID-19, including ignoring early warnings from Taiwan and spreading inaccurate information about virus transmission. These actions have led many Americans to distrust the organization. Although President Trump did not sign a recent WHO pandemic treaty adopted at the 78th World Health Assembly in May 2025, there were indications that President Biden might have signed it if given an opportunity.
In addition to Rep. Tiffany's efforts in Congress, Senator Ron Johnson has introduced companion legislation in the Senate with backing from 15 other Senators.
This legislative push seeks more transparency in agreements with international organizations like WHO and ensures constitutional checks are in place for any future commitments affecting national sovereignty.
