This marks the first time a major world power has explicitly rejected WHO's expanded authority under the new 'pandemic emergency' designation - a category that removes the traditional requirement for an actual emergency declaration. The involvement of Kennedy, a known health freedom advocate, as HHS Secretary adds unprecedented weight to the sovereignty argument.
US Rejects WHO Health Powers: Kennedy & Rubio Stand Against Control
📰 What Happened
The Trump administration, through HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, formally rejected WHO's International Health Regulations amendments on July 21, 2025. The amendments, approved in 2024, would have given WHO new powers to declare 'pandemic emergencies' and implement measures like lockdowns and travel restrictions without formal emergency declarations. The rejection came just before the July 19 deadline for nations to file reservations against the amendments.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The timing of this rejection aligns with prophetic warnings about global control systems. The WHO's attempt to establish a 'pandemic emergency' designation without requiring actual emergencies mirrors Revelation's warning about deceptive authority. Kennedy's specific mention of 'digital health requirements' points to infrastructure needed for the mark system. The July 19, 2025 deadline represents a critical timeline marker where nations must choose between sovereignty and global health governance - precisely the type of division prophesied in end-times scenarios where nations resist the emerging global system.
