Dear Member of Parliament, Chancellor of Justice and Government of the Republic of Estonia
At the World Health Assembly in Geneva, scheduled for 18–23 May 2026, a vote was planned on the Pandemic Agreement Annex concerning the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) System,² which forms Annex 12 of the Pandemic Treaty. However, due to pressure from various countries and the complexity of the issue, the WHO decided on 1 May 2026 that the matter was not ready for a vote. We therefore call upon the Estonian Government to draw significantly more public attention to the contents of this document and, in the future, to vote against it.
The World Health Organization seeks to establish the PABS system – a framework through which the world’s deadliest pathogens (samples + genetic information) would be collected and distributed globally. What is the stated goal? Faster vaccine production. What will actually happen? It centralizes all dangerous viruses and bacteria under the control of the WHO, which operates largely on funding from pharmaceutical interests and philanthropic organizations. What does this truly mean? A dramatic increase in the risks of laboratory leaks and bioterrorism – thousands of laboratories around the world would be enabled to play with deadly pathogens. The WHO, already under strong private-sector influence, would distribute pathogens precisely to those who profit from them.
Main concerns regarding the PABS system
1. Increased risk of laboratory leaks and bioterrorism
If the world’s most dangerous pathogens are centralized and distributed through the WHO to thousands of laboratories worldwide, the real possibility that “something accidentally goes wrong” increases substantially. History already knows multiple examples of laboratory leaks. Such widespread distribution could amplify this risk, especially since the PABS document reportedly lacks a clear oversight and risk-control system, creating complete chaos regarding accountability.
2. WHO conflicts of interest, dependence on the private sector, and the creation of a pandemic industry
a) Influence of pharmaceutical corporations and investors
Pharmaceutical giants and investors participate in PABS negotiations as “stakeholders”,³ whose objective is not public health, but profit and monopolistic control.
b) Dependence on the private sector
A significant share of the WHO budget consists of voluntary donations, a large portion of which comes from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other private partners.⁴ This once again raises the question of whether decisions are made in the public interest or in the interests of private-sector actors.
c) The creation of a pandemic industry
Earlier this year, files released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)⁵ revealed correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates from 2011–2019.
According to these emails, financial agreements, text messages and planning documents, the data suggest that these individuals viewed pandemics and vaccines as long-term financial and strategic categories as early as 2011. It appears that investment instruments, donor-advised fund structures, simulation programs and insurance products were not created merely in response to crises; rather, they were refined and expanded within a financial architecture whose foundations predated the COVID-19 era by more than a decade.
Exercises such as Event 201 demonstrate clearly that coronavirus pandemics were not hypothetical abstractions, but explicitly modeled scenarios integrated into financial, philanthropic and political planning long before the spread of COVID-19.⁶⁻¹⁵
The WHO is not a trustworthy organization
On 12 May, at the event “WHO Unmasked”¹⁶ held in the European Parliament in Brussels, keynote presentations regarding the unreliability of the WHO as an international organization were delivered by Dr. Beate Pfeil, Swiss lawyer Philipp Kruse, and Dr. Maria Hubmer-Mogg. The link to the event can be found among the references below.
The current situation
The world has extended negotiations – the PABS system will not be voted on at the 18–23 May World Health Assembly. Countries acknowledge that the risks are too great and that substantially more time is required. Europe, Africa – all are expressing doubts. Instead of centralized authority, nations are demanding sovereignty and caution.
Our government has turned public health into an instrument for exercising its power. They neither listen nor acknowledge that the entire world is slowing down and reassessing the risks. The Estonian Government continues to push forward quietly – without public debate and without asking the people for their opinion. Not on a single issue.
The current Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act (NETS), now before the Riigikogu, similarly disregards the health and interests of our citizens and requires a complete re-evaluation. In its present form, NETS is analogous to the WHO Pandemic Treaty and contains numerous deficiencies.
Today, changes to such important legislation are not being carried out in the interests of healthcare, but in the interests of stagnant party power structures and special interest groups.
Do you stand with the Estonian people or with Geneva and the profits of philanthropists?
Answer the people: why has it not been possible to publicly discuss WHO agreements over the last three years? Why has this topic been ignored and suppressed? Why does the Estonian Government silently support incompetent WHO documents?
It is time to publicly acknowledge the future our country and the world are facing, and to seek the best possible solution specifically for the Republic of Estonia.
The WHO made countless mistakes during the coronavirus crisis and revealed itself to be an incompetent organization operating according to the interests of influence groups, causing more harm than benefit. A summary can be viewed from the conference held in the European Parliament on 12 May 2026.¹⁶
Awaiting your public response and your commitment to defending the interests of the Estonian people,
