WEF death law story proven false by fact-checkers

A viral image claiming world leaders have endorsed a World Economic Forum (WEF) treaty implementing “Age of Death” legislation in Western nations has been debunked as misinformation.

The misleading claim originated from a December 10 article by “The People’s Voice,” a platform with a documented history of disseminating false information. The website’s own “Terms of Use” section includes a disclaimer that undermines the reliability of its content.

Previously operating under the names “NewsPunch” and “YourNewsWire,” the platform has earned a reputation as a prominent source of online misinformation, according to Mashable’s 2019 investigation.

While the December article discusses euthanasia and assisted dying policies globally, it fails to provide any substantiation for its assertion about a WEF treaty establishing an “Age of Death” in Western countries.

The claim lacks verification from credible sources, with no mention of such a treaty on the WEF’s official platforms or verified social media accounts. Furthermore, established news organizations have not reported on this alleged treaty.

Recent legitimate WEF-related news has focused on different matters entirely. Reuters reports that global business leaders participating in a WEF survey expressed concerns about economic recession, inflation, and extreme weather events.

Lead Stories, a fact-checking organization, has also investigated and refuted this claim, tracing its origins back to “The People’s Voice.”

Check Your Fact is currently awaiting response from the WEF regarding this matter.
