The New Health Despotism: EU Commission Uses Nicotine Tax to Boost Its Clout
The Commission once again tries to tax citizens directly without going through their member states in a fiscal experiment paving the way for the EU becoming a state.

The Commission once again tries to tax citizens directly without going through their member states in a fiscal experiment paving the way for the EU becoming a state.

The European Commission, acting in the name of the WHO, is pushing a ban that goes far beyond public health—it is another step toward centralisation of power and common taxation.

The Merz government is moving forward with proposed legislation to restrict individual rights, without explanation for why that is needed.

“The WHO is about as interested in public health as the arms industry is in world peace: not at all.”
The UN’s health agency says the agreement will “make the world more equitable and safer from future pandemics.”

The WHO maintains that the threat of new pandemics remains real but the timing of these warnings has not gone unnoticed.

The World Health Organization says its pandemic agreement doesn’t stand on the toes of sovereign nations, but may need to do some convincing ahead of ratification.

European leaders should suspend contributions to the WHO until the opaque organisation gets its act together.

Officials seem more concerned with not “stigmatising” travellers from Africa.

The novel strain, with a 3% fatality rate, has only spread in ten countries, but the WHO is already calling for global “surveillance” to prevent another pandemic.
