WHO PANEL WANTS MORE POWER, FUNDING: Somebody at the World Health Organization (WHO) has decided Covid is the occasion for a worldwide application of former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s maxim to “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

A WHO group known as the “Independent Panel” issued a report earlier this month, according to LifeSiteNews, that observes:

“Our message is loud and clear: no more pandemics.  If we fail to take this goal seriously, we will condemn the world to successive catastrophes … On the basis of its diagnosis of what went wrong at each stage of the COVID-19 response, the panel makes […] seven recommendations directed to ensuring that a future outbreak does not become a pandemic. Each recommendation is linked directly back to evidence of what has gone wrong. To be successful they must be implemented in their entirety.”

Note that last sentence well. Under the seven recommendations, WHO would essentially become the world-wide version of the CDC but with vastly more power and funding. And if you question the wisdom of their recommendations, then, as Glenn puts it, because shut up.
