Tom Tiffany (R-WI) in 2023, is a response to efforts beginning in 2021, at the height of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, to create some form of international binding legal document, spearheaded by the W.H.O., regulating how nations handle international health emergencies, including pandemics.

The House voted 219-199 to pass the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act, with four Democrats joining 215 Republicans to get the bill through. The legislation deems World Health Organization conventions or agreements to be treaties, which need senate supermajorities to be ratified. The bill now heads to the Democratic-controlled senate where it is unlikely to pass.
Representative Tom Tiffany (R., Wisc.) introduced the legislation to limit the World Health Organization’s influence after the body received strong criticism for its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

“It'd be Wisconsin's first national park,” Tiffany said. “And if there's a place that is worthy of being a national park in Wisconsin, it's the Apostle Islands.”
