America Rejects WHO’s Pandemic Deal→ Here's Why It Matters

 

In a surprising move, the United States has officially stepped back from a major global health agreement designed to tackle future pandemics. This deal — formed by the World Health Organization (WHO) after three years of tough negotiations — aims to make vaccines, medicines, and tests more accessible to all countries during health emergencies.

But the U.S. says "no thanks."

🇺🇸 U.S. officials argue the agreement gives too much power to the WHO, and could impact national sovereignty. They’ve raised concerns that the pact is too vague, too political, and lacks public transparency. Some even fear it might shift control away from local governments during critical moments.

Meanwhile, the agreement asks pharmaceutical companies to reserve 20% of pandemic supplies (like vaccines) for WHO — a clause designed to help poorer nations.

👉 So why is the U.S. walking away from global cooperation — and what could this mean for the world in the next pandemic?
