The World Council for Health is a pseudo-medical organisation dedicated to spreading misinformation to discourage COVID-19 vaccination, and promoting fake COVID-19 treatments.[1]
The organization’s online appearance is that of a mainstream health organization.[2] It appears to have been formed in September 2021 and its published leadership contains people which an Australian Associated Press fact check described as “figures who have promoted unfounded conspiracy theories”.[3] The group was founded by Jennifer A. Hibberd and Tess Lawrie, an obstetrician and founder of the “BIRD Group”, which erroneously promotes ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment.[4]
The World Council for Health is affiliated with Children’s Health Defense, an antivaccine association led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[5]
