President Biden keeps the COVID ‘emergency’ going so he can act like a dictator
Special report: America's perpetual state of emergency
Gregory KorteUSA TODAY
Oct. 22, 2014
WASHINGTON — The United States is in a perpetual state of national emergency.
Thirty separate emergencies, in fact.
An emergency declared by President Jimmy Carter on the 10th day of the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979 remains in effect almost 35 years later.
A post-9/11 state of national emergency declared by President George W. Bush — and renewed six times by President Obama — forms the legal basis for much of the war on terror.

Biden Extends COVID Emergency Powers … Again
A month ago, Biden claimed the pandemic was over, but he is loath to give up the emergency powers justified by it.
The updated schedules and program guidance will be published in early 2023. CDC will continue to update and work with health departments, providers, and other partners over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition of the COVID-19 vaccination program from emergency response to a routine immunization program activity.
So, where was the law? I asked the question on Twitter and was given various answers. It could come through the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, an act of Parliament designed to grant sweeping powers in times of ‘emergency’, defined as an event or situation which threatens serious damage to human welfare or to the environment of a place, or war or terrorism threatening serious damage to security of the United Kingdom. Perhaps the rules would be in the Coronavirus Bill, a vast collection of powers and rules which was being rushed through Parliament at breakneck speed even as the Prime Minister stood up to address the nation. Or maybe through an obscure public health statute which had provided the basis for the law which – at the stroke of a ministerial pen – closed non-essential businesses two days earlier. It was like a legal murder mystery. Which law would be used to remove our freedoms?
Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on February 28, 2023, charting the path to phasing out one of the most effective and necessary tools that California has used to combat COVID-19.
[ . . . ]
California has the tools needed to continue fighting COVID-19 when the State of Emergency terminates at the end of February, including vaccines and boosters, testing, treatments and other mitigation measures like masking and indoor ventilation. As the State of Emergency is phased out, the SMARTER Plan continues to guide California’s strategy to best protect people from COVID-19.
[ . . . ]
“California’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has prepared us for whatever comes next. As we move into this next phase, the infrastructure and processes we’ve invested in and built up will provide us the tools to manage any ups and downs in the future,” said Secretary of the California Health & Human Services Agency, Dr. Mark Ghaly. “While the threat of this virus is still real, our preparedness and collective work have helped turn this once crisis emergency into a manageable situation.”

Biden today: “This is a global health emergency.”
Biden in September: “The pandemic is over.”
Of course it's over, but emergency power requires that the government continue to lie if they want to keep that power. And POWER is all the government cares about. NOT YOU.
From the standpoint of the vaccine manufacturers, EUA is a preferred pathway for marketing their products. A single purchaser (the US Government) provides complete liability indemnification, a guaranteed market with very little oversight, and manages both the distribution and marketing. In the case of all unlicensed products, the manufacturers are prohibited from marketing them, but under EUA the US Government has been doing this for them, and has been acting in coordination with corporate media, social media, and large technology firms to suppress any discussion of risks or limitations of the products. From the standpoint of the vaccine manufacturers, this is all profit and no risk; a perfect business model. Why would they ever want to consider taking up the burden of actually producing and marketing the licensed version of these products?
What specific power does the executive branch have now that it would lose without this specific state of emergency order? Beyond the power to easily distribute EUA vaccines and tests, anything?

I could be making this up but didn’t Biden use the state of emergency to justify the student loan forgiveness?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States will keep in place the public health emergency status of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing millions of Americans to still receive free tests, vaccines and treatments, two Biden administration officials said on Friday.

Yes, but only after the midterms. Biden's handlers knew student loan forgiveness would be struck down by courts, but it was a political pander to get student debtor votes.
But did he really need any "coof emergency" to go ahead with it? I think he would've done it anyway, emergency or not.
While the Emergency is in place all factors of the HERO Act stay.

It was a shock, however, that the Senate decided to push back on the perpetual overreach by voting Tuesday to end the perpetual emergency.
I guess the Senate thought 975 days of "15 days to slow the spread" was enough.
From the Wall Street Journal:
Senate lawmakers voted on Tuesday to end the federal government's emergency declaration on the Covid-19 pandemic, a status that has given the Biden administration tools to combatthe coronavirus.
The Senate voted 62-36 to end the emergency declaration nearly three years after it was invoked. It's unclear if the House will take up the measure. ...
But...
First off, the House probably won't take up this bipartisan effort while Pelosi is still in charge.
Joe Biden has also said he'll veto the effort because of course. ...
It's almost as if giving emergency powers like this is bad and there's a reason we need checks and balances in the system.
Once you give someone power they won't ever willingly give it up.
So, here we are.
Just be patient. Just another 1,000 days to slow the spread. Then they'll give the power right back!

Biden administration extends COVID-19 public health emergency yet again
COVID-19 mRNA "Vaccines" Are The Opti-Grab of Immunological Products.
PREP Act legal immunity for countermeasures creates perverse incentives.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) was enacted on December 30, 2005, as Public Law 109-148, Division C, Section 2. The Act authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to issue a Declaration to provide liability immunity to certain individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims involving “willful misconduct” as defined in the PREP Act.
In addition to the COVID-19 PREP Act declaration that is currently in effect, nine other disease categories and even certain nerve agents and insecticides are the subject of current PREP Act declarations.
This means that if you are a Covered Person engaged in the business of countermeasures, you are protected from legal liability if your product or service injures someone. ...
In other words, any Public Health Emergency is, as a result of this legislative framework, certain to be a liability-free bonanza for anyone engaged in the business of medical countermeasures. ...
The trouble with this arrangement is that it generates a massive perverse incentive to declare a public health emergency even when there is none, as we saw last summer with the PREP Act declaration for Monkeypox. Still worse is the terrible temptation to CREATE a public health emergency.
A comical depiction of product liability was in the 1979 film, The Jerk, about a moron named Navin Johnson who invents an eyeglasses frame enhancement called the Opti-Grab. Soon after becoming filthy rich from his invention, he is ruined because the Opti-Grab makes its users cross eyed. ...
In their poor and hasty conception, the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines will ultimately go down in history as the “Opti-Grab” of immunological products. To be sure, the damages they inflict are infinitely worse, and the creators of these so-called “countermeasures” bear no liability.

The rights of the people must never be abrogated in any way, not even for a moment, under any circumstances whatsoever. Any government which attempts abrogation is illegitimate.
