Kvaran: Claims in writer’s recent letter were all wrong

Posted

The recent letter to the Editor (“Says WHO will take over Constitution,” Daily Independent, April 30, 2022) could be considered as great humor if it were not so serious.

The World Health Organization is not trying to usurp rights from the U.S. Constitution.

The WHO Constitution contains phrases such as, “and in accordance with their constitutional processes“ when referring to member nations.

It claims no right to supersede any country’s constitution. I can remember while living in Michigan in the 1980s the Michigan Militia (remember Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols?) telling us that United Nations troops, identified as Pakistanis, had been spotted in northern Michigan.

I place Brian Reilly’s ramblings in the same category as those.

The so-called “electronic vaccine passports” are simply a digital way of accessing certain sections of one’s medical records. It does not mandate that anyone get vaccinated, but if one were to need such proof of vaccination, say while passing through the EU to go and fight in the Ukraine, then such identification could be useful.

The Bricker Amendments, supposedly blocked by such radical leftists as Dwight Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles were/are not needed as our Supreme Court, in Reid v. Covert, “also reaffirmed the president’s ability to enter into international executive agreements, though it held that such agreements cannot contradict federal law or the Constitution.”
