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?

How do you make a state of emergency permanent while saying you’re ending it?

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.”

There are no forensic processes for establishing the credibility a 'state of emergency'. As we have seen, the decisions are entirely arbitrary from the administrative and executive, and almost always the product of engineered panics and false flags.

The government looks forward at all times for fake conditions that it can use to suspend the Constitution and basic rights. They do this at peril of rebellion and breach of their armed safety, which is why they need the strong doses of imposed, chronic fear. They are constantly plotting against the lives and welfare of the populace while lying and virtue signaling.

Well, it also gives him the authority to cancel Department of Education loans for millions of people.

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?

Did anyone really think for an instant that after being given exceptional power, the Executive Branch would ever relinquish it?

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?

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. Just like what RINO and actual Dem operative Linsey Graham did by putting forth a bill to ban abortions nationwide - Graham also knew that was unconstitutional but it gave the Dems an issue to run on. Anything to prevent a red wave where Trump might get credit.

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.

I still say the public health emergency only allows the Emergency Use Authorizations to continue, and the federal government to sponsor the distribution of the authorized products. It doesn’t grant the President any special power beyond that.

I mean yes it paves the way for all sorts of rights violations based on these products (vax or test requirements) but those violations are not made legal by this declaration.

Again the power granted to the federal government by the public health emergency is limited to the funding. authorization and distribution of medical materials.

While the Emergency is in place all factors of the HERO Act stay.

And, after the midterms, the Student Loan Forgiveness Act disappeared, just like that! poof.

But did he really need any "coof emergency" to go ahead with it? I think he would've done it anyway, emergency or not.

Eric Holder says

But did he really need any "coof emergency" to go ahead with it? I think he would've done it anyway, emergency or not.

No, I’m more sure than ever now. There was a “Public Health Emergency” originally declared in 2020 by the HHS director. Its scope is limited to relaxing regulations on medical products (see Emergency Use Authorization, which depends on this declaration being in effect) and allowing unchecked funding of their distribution (“free vaccines and tests for all”). That’s it. It doesn’t abrogate any of the people’s rights guaranteed by the constitution, and doesn’t let the President spend money on anything he wants.

Summary of what is enabled by a public health emergency:

Yes a lot of programs cite the emergency as an excuse but these are more pork barrel than power grab. I don’t think there’s anything unconstitutional in there.

I really think the plan was to end the emergency sooner but the problem was the FDA wouldn’t approve the boosters, or any shots for children under 12. They’re still all under EUA only. So the planners can’t end the emergency until these doses are approved, because they can’t be mass-distributed without either an emergency (EUA) or FDA approval and license.

The Title 42 deportations to Mexico were only allowed because of the "Emergency".

At least something worthwhile came from it.

https://notthebee.com/article/after-hhs-declared-the-pandemic-emergency-to-continue-at-least-through-january-the-senate-has-voted-to-end-the-covid-emergency-declaration

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!

"Emergency powers" are a treasonous subversion of the Constitution and must never be allowed under any circumstances whatsoever. The Constitution must remain the supreme law of the United States at all times.

https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/covid-19-mrna-vaccines-are-the-opti

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.

Fire At New Zealand's Largest Egg Farm Kills 75,000 Hens Amid National Shortage

One thing I have noticed is that some of the worst of the Covid Totalitarian Lock Step response has been from the nations in the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Great Britain, and the United States.
Now that it is becoming apparent that Operation Warp Speed, and the general propaganda campaign, was planned and executed by the DoD/Spy Agencies I am starting to see that there are truly no limits to what they might do.
Makes me want to go on the lam to some more 'primitive' country.

Aussie Senator Alex Antic: The Greatest Scandal In Medical History & None Of You Said A Single Thing
posted Nov 23, 2022

SENATOR ALEX ANTIC: If you've been paying attention recently then you'll have noticed the term myocarditis and died suddenly has featured quite a lot. Now we know that myocarditis and pericarditis are two heart inflammation conditions well-associated with the covid mRNA injections. Even the Therapeutic Goods Association* admits that. Yet despite this well-established fact, the injections were mandated to thousands of Australians, and speaking out about these incursions on freedom got one labeled an anti-vaxxer or a peddler of dangerous misinformation.

Now I've obtained data though Freedom of Information from SA Health** in South Australia regarding the number of cardiac presentations per month in South Australian public hospitals since 2018. The data reveals that cardiac-related presentations for 15 to 44 year-olds remained steady at 1,100 per month from January 2018, but drastically spiked in July 2021 through November 2021, peaking at 2,172 per month, just as these injections were rolled out, they almost doubled.

Then there was another spike in February this year, right around the time when the boosters were being mandated.

These injections are harming and in many instances killing our young people. So what does SA Health have to say about this? Nothing. They continue to roll out the injections. They continue to push the injection narrative.

This injection campaign is going to go down as the greatest scandal in medical history. And none of you said a single thing.

So why exactly does the "state of emergency" continue?

Ah, so that the "Emergency Use Authorization" (EUA) for the death jabs can wring a little more profit out of murdering people for the profit of Pfizer.

Biden is a senile incontinent criminal. The whole Biden family is a crime family, not to mention the Newsom/Pelosi family.

Heard last week on kcBS 740AM “vaccine” companies will raise from current “$30” to “$130+” after “emergency”. News reader expressed his concern about affordability.
Evil companies still have bigger plans for looting by making people sick at best.

I always thought that since the EUA declaration depends on the existence of a public health emergency, once that emergency is declared over, all products authorized under EUA but not FDA approved (like COVID-19 booster shots or shots for those under 12) would have to be withdrawn.

But apparently the Emergency Use Authorization declaration has a life of its own and does not automatically die with the emergency that justified it.

In other words, the end of the public health emergency on May 11 does not mean that the end of availability of the“emergency use only” medical products.

Crazy!

Details here:

https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/faqs-what-happens-euas-when-public-health-emergency-ends

This means that organizations will still be able to require staff and the public at their events to be “up to date” on their vaccinations even if the FDA never approves them, as long as the The HHS never revokes the EUA declaration. And why should it?
