State Dept. Demands Global Health 'Oversight' — Not 'Care'
The State Department, according to Bloomberg, is preparing new bilateral health agreements to expand U.S. 'oversight' of disease surveillance, outbreak reporting, and data sharing in partner countries. This isn't about ensuring access to medicines or building local health infrastructure, but about Washington gaining unfettered access to sensitive health data. It’s an 'America First' health
strategy—because nothing says 'global cooperation' like demanding control over other nations' health information. Remember when 'global health' meant sharing vaccines, not extracting data? This isn't collaboration; it's colonization by ambulance chasers, disguised as benevolence. When the U.S. demands 'oversight,' it invariably means 'control,' particularly when it involves data that could serve
various geopolitical interests. After all, if preventing outbreaks were the sole goal, perhaps focusing on universal healthcare at home might set a better global example.
