WHO, Bill Gates & Pandemic Powers: David Roach | The Ellie Hodges Show
Description: Has the WHO Been Captured? David Roach joins Ellie Hodges to discuss the World Health Organization, Bill Gates, pandemic powers, Covid, private funding and whether the WHO should ultimately be replaced.
On this episode of The Ellie Hodges Show, Ellie speaks to David Roach, co-founder of Action on World Health, about why he believes the World Health Organization has moved too far away from its original purpose.
David argues that private funding, pharmaceutical interests and major foundations have created serious questions around influence inside the WHO. He discusses the role of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the organisation’s response to Covid-19, international pandemic agreements, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, national sovereignty and the balance between international cooperation and individual freedom. David
The conversation also looks at the WHO’s pandemic preparedness agenda and the debate around the International Health Regulations, with David explaining why he believes too much authority has shifted away from individual nation states. David
Ellie challenges David on whether issues such as migration and infectious disease legitimately fall within the WHO’s remit, before they discuss what an alternative international health organisation could look like.
David sets out his preferred model: international cooperation focused on evidence and public health, but with decision-making power remaining with individual countries. He also argues that any replacement body should be funded by member states rather than private organisations. David David
They also discuss:
• Why David believes the WHO has changed over the past 30 years
• The role of private money in international health organisations
• Bill Gates and WHO funding
• Covid-19 and pandemic preparedness
• Lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates
• International Health Regulations
• National sovereignty and global institutions
• Donald Trump and the US withdrawal from the WHO
• China’s relationship with the organisation
• Whether the WHO should be reformed or replaced
• What David believes a new international health body should look like
David also stresses that his criticism is aimed primarily at the organisation’s leadership and structure, rather than individual WHO staff, many of whom he says are genuinely committed to improving global health. David
Do you think the WHO still serves its original purpose, or does international health need a completely different model? Let us know in the comments.
