Abstract

This inter-disciplinary paper examines the claims in some secular and religious circles around the world that some global elite have the agenda of foisting a New World Order on the global populace and examines the louder claims, since 2020, that COVID-19 is a man-made pandemic aimed at achieving this aim. The globalists are said to be bent on fostering One World Government, One World Economy and One World Religion on the populace. COVID-19, its second or third wave, attendant lockdowns and restrictions on business activities and religious gatherings are said to be pre-mediated and orchestrated behind the scene to achieve what has since been described by the public and private sectors as “the New Normal.” The World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations, communists, desperate leftist Western politicians, billionaire investors, big pharmaceutical companies, big media organisations and compromised scientists have been fingered as the New World Order desperadoes. It is alleged that the new waves of the pandemic and the recent predictions of yet a worse pandemic by the WHO and by a prominent globalist are a confirmation that they are desperate to further pursue and achieve their New World Order aim. Such measures as lockdowns, use of facemask, COVID-19 vaccines and restrictions on business activities and religious gatherings are said to be among their tools for achieving a great reset, mind control, social conditioning and/or further damage to the physical, psychological and spiritual health of the people. Those measures as well as the still unsettled or controversial safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines are analysed in this paper vis-à-vis the relevant fundamental rights of the people. The growing trend of making the COVID-19 vaccination certificate a requisite to travel overseas or access some public places locally is also examined, more so as this is tantamount to making the COVID-19 vaccination mandatory, not necessarily by law but by policy and not necessarily directly but indirectly. This paper examines whether such measures are in harmony with such fundamental rights as the right to the grant of informed consent, right to personal dignity, right to privacy, freedom of movement and freedom of religion guaranteed by both the municipal law of the nations and the international human rights regime. With the use of indirect, circumstantial and documentary types of evidence available, the paper finds out that the alleged plot to maintain “the New Normal” and foist a New World Order is neither baseless nor unreasonable. To overcome the pandemic and beyond the vaccines which the new variants of the disease may defy, the need to allow the COVID-19 responses to wear human face and comply with human rights, use of the combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azythromycin in the early stage of the disease, exposure to sunlight and eating of certain immunity-boosting fruits and vegetables are recommended. The need for African countries to have a deliberate and purposeful homegrown strategies for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic is also recommended, especially now that it has been established that the pandemic has socio-demographic and cultural dimensions.
