Excellent handout by Stand for Health Freedom.
“Today, lawmakers are referencing the WHO as an authority, tomorrow they could give WHO authority. If you think that can’t happen, look no further than the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule. Does your state take that guidance — which has no force of law — and turn it into law in your state?”
