That proclamation was tricky to reconcile with President Biden\u2019s announcement last month on 60 Minutes: \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/60Minutes\/status\/1571652540592050176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1571658587705081859%7Ctwgr%5E4b35a86209ad09022fb983ad7c6d6dc60d03f4bf%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com%2Fed-morrissey%2F2022%2F10%2F13%2Fquelle-surprise-biden-renews-covid-emergency-for-another-90-days-n503108\">pandemic is over.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 Apparently, that was malarkey\u2014perhaps part of the Democratic messaging for the midterm congressional elections.<\/p>\n<p>Americans have officially been living under a state of COVID emergency since President Trump issued the first declaration in early 2020. The latest extension of came via a bureaucratic form letter <a href=\"https:\/\/aspr.hhs.gov\/legal\/PHE\/Pages\/covid19-13Oct2022.aspx\">posted online<\/a>: \u201cAs a result of the continued consequences of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, on this date and after consultation with public health officials as necessary, I, Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Health and Human Services\u2026 do hereby renew\u201d the emergency for another 90 days.<\/p>\n<p>By this standard, as long as there are any \u201ccontinuing consequences\u201d from the pandemic, Biden can perpetuate the emergency that gives him vast additional powers. Administration officials warn that COVID cases could increase in the coming months. Plus, another asteroid might pass within 100 million miles of earth, so better safe than sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s emergency perpetuation seeks to provide a legal whitewash for his $500+ billion student loan bailout charade. Biden justified the bailout by citing the HEROES Act of 2003\u2014a law passed to assist soldiers and their family members during the Global War on Terror. Law professor Jonathan Turley wrote, \u201cBiden had promised to wipe out tuition debt in the [2020] campaign and simply <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/judiciary\/3622339-college-loan-forgiveness-plan-reveals-bidens-constitutional-cynicism\/\">hijacked the Act<\/a> for that unintended purpose.\u201d Biden previously admitted that the law would not justify blanket forgiveness of college loans but he and his advisors decided to force Americans to pay any price for Democratic votes in the midterm elections. The administration provided no evidence that the beneficiaries (who earn up to $250,000) have suffered any financial harm from the pandemic. College graduates are doing much better financially than other Americans who will get stuck with the bill for their schooling. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerfinancemonitor.com\/2022\/10\/07\/state-attorneys-general-sue-to-halt-cancellation-of-student-loan-debt\/\">Lawsuits are challenging<\/a> Biden\u2019s debt cancellation and the Supreme Court might nullify Biden\u2019s decree.<\/p>\n<p>Extending the emergency also enables the federal government to continue providing Medicaid and Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program benefits to 15 million people who would not otherwise qualify. As CNBC noted, \u201cThe emergency declaration gives federal agencies broad authority to expand certain programs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/10\/13\/us-extends-covid-public-health-emergency-.html\">without congressional<\/a> approval.\u201d In other words, the Constitution\u2019s checks and balances continue to be a relic in the age of COVID.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s emergency extension was a non-issue for the vast majority of the press. Since the start of the pandemic, much of the nation\u2019s elite media have gone to the barricades to demand ever more destruction of Americans\u2019 rights and liberties. The tone was set in the first months of the pandemic by Pulitzer Prize-winning <em>New York Times<\/em> reporter Donald McNeil. He urged politicians to \u201cgo Medieval\u201d on COVID-19 with tactics \u201cfrom the era of the Black Death\u2026pen terrified citizens up inside their poisoned cities\u2026Harsh measures horrify civil libertarians, but they often save lives, especially when they are imposed in the early days.\u201d<strong> For more than two years, the corporate press has been far more likely to condemn politicians for respecting freedom than for pointlessly placing tens of millions of Americans under house arrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The media cheered the most intrusive emergency dictate of them all\u2014Biden commanding every American working for a large company to get injected with the COVID vaccine, or forfeit their job. The Supreme Court slapped down that edict but disgracefully approved Biden\u2019s vax mandate for health care workers, resulting in thousands of hard-working nurses being fired.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most outrageous and least recognized COVID power grabs is the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s continuing use of \u201cemergency\u201d authorization for COVID vaccines and boosters. That legal category means that pharmaceutical companies have zero liability for any harm\u2014injuries, deaths, sterility\u2014resulting from the COVID vaccines that politicians forced upon Americans. The FDA rushed its approval of the COVID vaccine, spurring resignations of its top vaccine experts. The failures of the original COVID vaccines have resulted in an endless series of boosters, each of which is rubber-stamped by federal bureaucrats with little or no evidence. Biden administration officials are out whooping up the latest COVID boosters but never mention that the FDA approved Pfizer\u2019s application based on zero evidence that the latest injections were effective for humans. Instead, Pfizer provided \u201cevidence\u201d from testing the boosters on eight mice. That was enough to justify forcing everyone in the nation who must get vaccinated and boosted to get re-injected.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA is championing injecting young children with emergency use COVID vaccines, even though the Center for Disease Control estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/71\/wr\/mm7117e3.htm?s_cid=mm7117e3_w\">that 75% of children<\/a> and adolescents had already had COVID infections as of February and thus have natural immunity to subsequent infections. Despite no reliable safety data for the boosters, politicians continue to pretend that mass submission to mindless edicts magically guarantees public health. The CDC website blithely declared: \u201cAny side effects from getting the [COVID] vaccine are normal signs the body is building protection.\u201d Yet COVID vaccines spurred more than a million reports to the FDA Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)\u2014vastly more than for any prior vaccine in history.<\/p>\n<p>A recent survey revealed that 40% of Americans <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/changing-america\/well-being\/prevention-cures\/3686866-4-in-10-misrepresented-covid-status-adherence-to-public-health-measures-research\/\">admitted lying<\/a> about their COVID vaccine status or adherence to health dictates. Unfortunately, there is no chance of getting honest responses from politicians and government health officials about how often they deceived the public with their promises of \u201csafety through endless submission.\u201d Remember when Biden promised that people who got vaccinated would not get COVID or spread the disease? Remember when Biden said he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-55193939\">wouldn\u2019t impose<\/a> a vaccine mandate? Remember when the Center for Disease Control ludicrously promised that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/14\/health\/cloth-masks-covid-cdc.html\">wearing cloth masks<\/a> would protect people from getting sick? Remember when Fauci\u2026alas, space limitations preclude listing all the brazen flip-flops from \u201cAmerica\u2019s scientist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biden\u2019s emergency extension should spur Americans to recognize how fighting COVID with a political iron fist is an unmitigated disaster.\u00a0<\/strong> A virus with a 99% survival rate spawned a 100% presumption in favor of despotic remedies. Governors in state after state imposed lockdowns that former Attorney General Bill Barr aptly called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/09\/17\/william-barr-coronavirus-lockdowns-slavery-416776\">\u201cthe greatest intrusion on civil liberties<\/a>\u201d since the end of slavery. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito lamented that the pandemic \u201chas resulted in previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/supreme-court\/justice-alito-calls-covid-restrictions-previously-unimaginable-cites-danger-religious-n1247657\">unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>But ravishing freedom failed to prevent more than 200 million Americans from becoming infected with COVID. Amazingly, the failure of repressive COVID decrees has done nothing to humble the political class.<\/strong> Instead, Biden and many state and local officials continue to behave as if merely reciting a single word\u2014Covid\u2014entitles them to tyrannize other Americans. Many repressive policies are simply Political Science 101, using deceit and demagoguery to seize more power.<\/p>\n<p>In his raging Philadelphia speech last month, Biden declared, \u201cToday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/09\/01\/remarks-by-president-bidenon-the-continued-battle-for-the-soul-of-the-nation\/\">COVID no<\/a> longer controls our lives.\u201d <strong>But Biden has no intent to forfeit any control over Americans that he unjustifiably seized during the pandemic he says no longer exists. Nothing in Biden\u2019s oath of office entitled him to turn the Constitution into COVID road kill.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Libertarian Institute, October 18, 2022 Joe Biden\u2019s COVID Dictatorship Will Never End by Jim Bovard | The Biden administration formally decreed last week that America\u2019s COVID \u201cemergency\u201d continues.
