Robert F. Kennedy Jr. named new Secretary of Health and Human Services

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s career of public service began in 1985 as an attorney for the environmental nonprofit RiverKeeper. He eventually became one of the most influential environmentalists in the United States, receiving TIME Magazine's "Hero of the Planet” and the Sartisky Peace Award.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. comes from an illustrious political family. The son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, Bobby Jr. was a lifelong Democrat but became increasingly estranged from the party in the 2010s as it drifted away from its traditional values. He made his final break on October 9, 2023, when he announced his candidacy as an independent for President of the United States.

Bobby has spent nearly 40 years fighting corrupt corporations and government agencies. During his tenure at RiverKeeper, he successfully sued dozens of municipalities to force compliance with the Clean Water Act. He won cases against corporate giants too, including a suit against General Electric for toxic runoff from its corporate jet hangar and a court order against ExxonMobil mandating they clean up tens of millions of gallons of spilled oil in Brooklyn, NY.

Building on the success of the local Riverkeeper model, Bobby co-founded the WaterKeeper Alliance and served as its President for 21 years. Under his direction, it became the world's largest nonprofit devoted to clean water and now protects 2.7 million miles of waterways with over a million volunteers in the United States and 46 other countries.

RFK Jr. and MAHA will represent a historic paradigm shift in the realm of health and wellness. His mission to make America Healthy Again by vigorously tackling the challenges posed by Big Food and Big Agriculture with the same resoluteness and determination that he may employ when addressing the issues surrounding Big Pharma will undoubtedly be transformative for all Americans, paving the way for a healthier future.

No Pandemic Agreement by December as Negotiators Need ‘More Time’

The World Health Organization (WHO) will not complete negotiations on an agreement that could grant global officials extensive powers during and between pandemics.

The WHO will not finalize the Pandemic Agreement draft by December 2024, as announced by the co-chairs of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body. Member states agreed to continue negotiations into 2025, aiming for completion by the next World Health Assembly, according to co-chair Ambassador Anne-Claire Amprou.

The Negotiating Body is currently in its 12th meeting after 32 months of talks. While some countries and groups have warned against rushing the process, the Africa Group wanted the agreement to be adopted quickly.

“Member states have made progress on the text to reach a consensus on all the key elements of the pandemic agreement,” said INB co-chair Ambassador Anne-Claire Amprou.

“Today, member states agreed we need to conclude the agreement as soon as possible and continue negotiations into 2025 with the goal of concluding the agreement by the next WHA scheduled in May 2025, so we are moving in the right direction with a strong political

At this point, WHO officials are now hoping to adopt the pact’s official text during the upcoming 78th World Health Assembly, which is set to commence on May 19, 2025. Despite considerable global outcry against the proposed pandemic agreement, critics assert that the negotiating body has not shown any inclination to reconsider what they regard as the most concerning provisions. For example, the “Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing system.”

This is the latest major setback for a global agreement that could lead the U.S. and other countries to give up significant financial resources, technology, and elements of national control to a global governing body led by someone with Marxist ties. Initially, the plan was to finalize the agreement last May, but officials have since delayed it until after the Biden-Harris administration leaves office.

With the new Trump Administration focused on protecting national sovereignty, Jennifer Kates, a global health policy expert at KFF, stated last Friday that she does not expect the pandemic agreements to be approved or accepted by the United States, as that would significantly weaken them.

Pandemic Treaty Agreement in the Latest Negotiations

Twelfth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) for a WHO instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response

4 – 15 November 2024

In December 2021, the World Health Assembly established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization, to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

The Twelfth meeting of the INB is to be held in hybrid format from 4-15 November 2024. (PROGRAM ITINERARY HERE) The opening and closing plenary sessions of the INB are open to WHO Member States, Associate Members, Observers and regional economic integration organizations, as well all relevant stakeholders. These sessions, on 4 November and 15 November, will be publicly webcast and archived for later viewing. Relevant stakeholders (Annexes A–E) will be invited to join for a brief open session at the beginning of each day to be updated on progress and provide their views on relevant Articles. Substantive negotiating sessions will be held in closed format.

Watch some the webcast here.

According to https://healthpolicy-watch.news/ WHO member states are still divided on important issues related to a pandemic agreement. The latest talks suggest a weakened agreement, with future discussions likely accepted by only a few countries. After inconclusive talks, INB12 is currently happening this week. A decision was needed by tomorrow on whether to hold a December WHA meeting, which has now been canceled. The Africa Group and the US were in favor of this meeting, seeing it as a crucial chance for a favorable outcome.

Many countries, including the European Union, urged caution. EU Ambassador Lotte Knudsen emphasized the need for workable solutions since several key issues remain unresolved.

Representing 35 countries in the Equity Group, Malaysia outlined the significant challenges low and middle-income countries face to improve their situation. Their main concern is ensuring that countries sharing information about dangerous pathogens can benefit from vaccines and other medical advancements resulting from this collaboration.

The #pandemic agreement will not be adopted at a special World Health Assembly (WHA) next month as countries still need “more time” to conclude the complex talks.

Races too close to call.

There are several legislative races that are too close too call. So check for updates to see the latest information.

The Secretary of State’s website offers a “close contest” feature for tracking elections with margins under 2%. This page updates with contests where candidates or ballot measures have less than a 2% difference as results come in. Results will evolve during the 30-day canvass period as all ballots are counted.

For the latest up to date results click here. Election results will be updated throughout the canvass period as vote-by-mail ballots, provisional ballots, and other ballots are processed. Depending on the volume of these types of ballots, it may take up to 30 days for county elections officials to verify voter records and determine if ballots have been cast by eligible voters. The frequency of updated results will vary based on the size of each county and the process each county elections office uses to tally and report votes.

County elections officials must report final results for presidential electors by December 3, 2024, and all other contests by December 6, 2024. The Secretary of State will compile presidential results by December 7, 2024, and certify all election results by December 13, 2024.
