Medical establishment adopts new, globalist approach: ‘All things are created equal’

The medical establishment has begun calling for a shift away from a human-centric approach to health and to focus more on “non-human animals and the environment”.

“One Health: A call for ecological equity,” read a headline in The Lancet last week. The article argues that the concept of One Health, in which “all life is equal, and of equal concern," should replace the current anthropocentric approach in which human beings are the center of medical attention and concern.

The medical journal says One Health addresses the “most existential threats” such as “antimicrobial resistance, food and nutrition insecurity, and climate change.”

To achieve a One Health utopia, a greater emphasis must be placed on protecting the environment and reducing the “human pressure on the environment,” which includes eating plants instead of animals.

“The EAT-Lancet Commission takes an equitable approach by recommending people move away from an animal-based diet to a plant-based one, which not only benefits human health, but also animal health and wellbeing,” says the article.

The Lancet adds that the impetus for this approach was COVID-19, which showed the need to avoid “disease spillover” from animals to humans. For this reason, healthcare must incorporate more environmental health organizations.

This will make health more “equitable,” says the article, which claims that the current healthcare framework is also racist. 

The Lancet is not the only medical journal promoting One Health. FACETS, a Canadian journal, also called for “[s]trengthening a One Health approach.” A letter published in Nature this month calls for the World Health Organization (WHO) to impose an “overarching One Health framework.”

Indeed, the WHO is working on such a framework, in coordination with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). In May 2021 the heads of these four organizations, with the support of France and Germany, created the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) which oversees the rollout of One Health to countries around the world.

Together, the globalist organizations have created a One Health Quadripartite Joint Plan of Action for 2022-2026 that “provides a set of activities that aim to strengthen collaboration, communication, capacity building, and coordination across all sectors responsible for addressing health concerns at the human-animal-plant-environment interface.”

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has endorsed the WHO's plan to implement One Health:

We will have a better chance of suppressing infectious diseases only if we adopt what the WHO calls a One Health approach and integrate predictive modelling and surveillance used in both infectious disease control and climate change.

Last week, the OHHLEP held a One Health workshop in Bangkok which focused on how humans can help the environment. The aim of the meeting was to identify challenges and opportunities in “biodiversity, climate resilience and environmental determinants.” Representatives from veterinary and environmental organizations attended, along with government officials from around the world. These included Casey Barton Behravesh from the CDC, Catherine Machalaba from EcoHealth Alliance, and Lei Zhou from China CDC.

Details of the meeting, such as what was discussed, proposed and agreed upon, remain unclear. 

But One Health has already started making its way into legislation. Last month, Congress quietly passed the Advancing Emergency Preparedness Through One Health Act (HR 2061/S 681) which commissions the establishment of a One Health program. The heads of federal agencies such as the CDC, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense and others are ordered to submit a proposal for a One Health Framework to Congress within one year.

The Act says the first goal of the One Health Program is to prevent zoonotic diseases, which can only be done by focusing more on the environment and agriculture.

“Public health preparedness depends on agriculture in a variety of ways,” reads the bill. “For example, a wide range of vaccines, including those for influenza, yellow fever, rabies, and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), are primarily cultivated in poultry eggs. Egg shortages resulting from zoonotic disease outbreaks could impose serious risks to vaccine manufacturing efforts."
