This marks the first time a major world power has explicitly rejected WHO's expanded authority after initially accepting it. The involvement of Kennedy, a former health freedom advocate now as HHS Secretary, adds unprecedented credibility to concerns about medical sovereignty. The new 'pandemic emergency' designation represents a novel mechanism for bypassing traditional emergency declarations.
US Rejects WHO Health Powers: Kennedy & Rubio Stand Against Control
📰 What Happened
The Trump administration announced on July 20, 2025, its rejection of World Health Organization amendments to International Health Regulations. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the changes would grant WHO unprecedented control over national health policies. The amendments, approved in 2024, introduced a new 'pandemic emergency' designation enabling WHO-led responses including digital health requirements. Officials had until July 19 to lodge formal reservations.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The WHO amendments represent a sophisticated form of religious deception by replacing divine authority with medical technocracy. The 'pandemic emergency' designation mirrors the prophesied false authority system that will demand universal compliance (Rev 13). Kennedy's warning about 'unelected international organization' control aligns with prophecies of a global governance structure requiring submission to health protocols. The digital health requirements echo the warning in 2 Thessalonians 2 about a 'strong delusion' - here manifesting as blind trust in international health bodies over individual conscience and national sovereignty.
