PIERRE, South Dakota (LifeSiteNews) — South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem has joined Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in vocally objecting to a proposed World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic treaty that critics worry could cede national sovereignty to the transnational organization during public health emergencies like COVID-19.
“South Dakota will continue to trust our people to exercise personal responsibility over their health,” Gov. Noem said in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon.
“That power is not President Biden’s to give away — the 10th Amendment reserves it for the states and for the people,” she added.

Noem wasn’t the only one to express concern about the proposed treaty.
A spokeswoman for Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin said that a list of Biden-backed amendments to the pandemic treaty were “incredibly concerning,” adding that “giving WHO sovereignty over U.S. health decisions” is “not something Governor Youngkin condones or supports.”
