National Covid Emergency Declaration Issued Very Quietly by HHS Secretary Two Days After Biden Ends the Emergency by Signing HJ Res 7 into Law. This Does Not Look Valid at all!

Big Picture & Opinion by Stevie Leff Apr 25, 2023 Updated Apr 25, 2023

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

THE COVID NATIONAL EMERGENCY WAS ENDED AND THEN REVIVED 2 DAYS LATER BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.

WAS THIS THE PLAN ALL ALONG TO QUIETLY KEEP BOTH THE CONGRESS & BIG PHARMA HAPPY BY ALLOWING THE VACCINE MONEY TO KEEP ON ROLLING IN?

THE FACTS:

Despite the fact that President Biden officially ended National Covid Emergency by signing H.J. Res. 7 on March 13. The Department of Health & Human Services felt it necessary to issue a new declaration that the National Covid Emergency has & will continue! Are they not bound by the law? Let's see:

On March 15th, just 2 days after the law ending the national emergency was signed by President Biden, The Department of Health & Human Services Secretary put out the new and amended COVID-19 Emergency Use Authorization Declaration and stated:

Covid Over

The law ending recovered state of emergency

"… On March 15, 2023, the Secretary amended the February 4, 2020 determination made pursuant to section 564 of the FD&C Act and determined pursuant to his authority under section 564(b)(1)(C) that there is a public health emergency, OR a significant potential for a public health emergency…"

The justification that the HHS Secretary uses to declare an Emergency Use Authorization Declaration is given in the second paragraph of the Notice that on March 20, 2023 The Department of Health & Human Services published in the Federal Register that cited the March 15, 2023 Declaration:

Breaking down the Secretary's Justification:

1. The Covid Virus is "constantly evolving." As every single virus does, duh.

1. The Virus in the past has caused many deaths in the past. "6.8 million deaths worldwide"

1. The reason for the large amount of deaths in the past is "…due, in part, to variations in the virus that may allow it to spread more easily or make it resistant to treatments or decreased vaccine effectiveness." (Same argument as in #1 above)

1. There is also a risk that eventually a variant will emerge that will escape the protection provided by the current generation of vaccines against severe disease. (A restatement of 1, 2 & 3 above)

1. Evolution of the virus also raises similar concerns about the continued efficacy of certain categories of therapeutics, such as monoclonal antibodies. (A restatement of 1, 2, 3 & 4 above)

1. The large number of mutations in the Omicron variant sublineages and the ongoing evolution of the virus remain a concern for potential evasion of vaccine immunity. (A restatement of 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 above)

The Secretary of HHS then states: In light of this, I have now amended the February 4, 2020 determination to recognize the fact that there is “a public health emergency, or a significant potential for a public health emergency, that affects, or has a significant potential to affect, national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad” and that involves a biological agent…

To summarize the Secretary of HHS's justification for declaring an Emergency Declaration, he has stated that because in the past the Covid Virus has killed millions and because it has evolved, like all virus' do, and because in evolving, the virus' mutations "MAY" allow it to spread faster and that there is a "RISK that eventually a variant will emerge" in the future making the virus more resistant to the vaccines and treatments, that in conclusion, that potential "evolution of the virus raises CONCERNS" about the continued effectiveness of vaccines and treatments.

To summarize the Secretary of HHS's justification for declaring an Emergency Declaration, he has stated that because in the past the Covid Virus has killed millions and because it has evolved, like all virus' do, and because in evolving, the virus' mutations "MAY" allow it to spread faster and that there is a "RISK that eventually a variant will emerge" in the future making the virus more resistant to the vaccines and treatments, that in conclusion, that potential "evolution of the virus raises CONCERNS" about the continued effectiveness of vaccines and treatments.

THE LAW:

Regulation cited by the Secretary of HHS as codified in Title 21 Section 360bbb-3 (b)(1)(c) & referred to as section 564 (C) States in relevant part:

564 (b) Declaration of emergency or threat justifying emergency authorized use; (1) In general the Secretary may make a declaration that the circumstances exist justifying the authorization under this subsection for a product on the basis of:

(C) a determination by the Secretary that there is a public health emergency OR a significant potential for a public health emergency, that affects, or has a significant potential to affect, national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, AND that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent or agents; or (D) the identification of a material threat pursuant to section 319F–2 of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 247d–6b] sufficient to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad and that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent or agents.

Narrowing it down above, lets dissect the Regulations (requirements)and look at the necessary elements that are necessary assuming the most favorable argument and facts that the Secretary could assert:

(1) a SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL for a public health emergency,

(2a) that affects or has a significant potential to affect national security or (2b) the health and security of United States citizens living abroad and

(3) that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent or agents.

Analyzing the statute, it seems clear the the Secretary of HHS could NOT rely on the fact that under subsection (c) that there is a public health emergency because two days earlier Biden officially ended National Covid Emergency by signing H.J. Res. 7 on March 13. So we are then left with one choice that even though it has not been specifically stated by the Secretary, we must assume that he is basing his emergency declaration on the fact that there exists, emphasis & numbers added for clarity, (1) a significant POTENTIAL for a public health emergency, that (2) affects, or has a significant potential to affect, national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad and (3) that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent or agents.

APPLYING THE LAW TO THE FACTS:

In order for the Secretary of HHS's declaration to be valid, it has to show, as required by law stated above, that there is ;

(1) a SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL for a public health emergency,

(2a) that affects or has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad and

(3) that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent or agents.

The Question then is, looking at the Secretary of HHS's declaration: does a virus that mutates (as all do) which mutations MAY allow it to spread faster, and that there is a RISK that a new more dangerous variant MAY emerge and that POTENTIAL evolution of the virus that raises CONCERNS, EQUAL a significant potential for a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security as required by law. I just don't see it but let's just go with it.

CONCLUSION:

Easiest first. Because the Declaration is called: COVID-19 Emergency Use Authorization Declaration, and mentions "novel (new) coronavirus (nCOV) first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in 2019," # (3) above can be considered to be satisfied as Covid-19 is a biological agent, a virus, that can also be characterized as a disease. So # (3) is satisfied.

Looking at (1), there would need to exist now a known significant potential for a public health emergency. We have scoured the internet and news from all sources including government agencies and bodies and can find absolutely no evidence of any new Covid strain or potential Covid Strain that would be even remotely considered to have any potential, let alone significant potential for a public health emergency. The Secretary of HHS made no statements as to any facts or situations that could even remotely justify any reasonable conclusion that there is a public health emergency OR a significant potential for a public health emergency.

His statement was pure conjecture and nothing more. Given this objective search result and the fact that neither the CDC, NIH or any other federal agency or body has made any statements about any potential Covid dangers to cause any health emergency, we are at a complete loss as to how the Secretary could possibly justify the fact that there is any significant potential threat from Covid-19 that could create a public health emergency.

Even if we were to assume that the Secretary could justify #(1) above, he would then need to show that the potential for a public health emergency would have a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad. We cannot imagine how this leap of logic could possibly be made except in a clown world.

Given the fact once again that as of March 13, 2023 there is a law on the books that states that, "…the national emergency declared by the finding of the President on March 13, 2020, in Proclamation 9994 (85 Fed. Reg. 15337) is hereby terminated," and that the Secretary of HHS's Declaration was issued two days later on March 15, 2023, that the Secretary's statement was nothing more than pure conjecture. With absolutely no facts stated by HHS, we do not see how it would be at all possible to defend the Declaration as being anything other than a misuse of power and contrary to existing law.

Additionally, The Department of Health & Human Services Secretary should be legally estopped from claiming and issuing a Declaration of a Health Emergency since his boss and binding authority signed into law, 2 days before H.J. Res. 7 officially ending the national emergency.

We do know that the vaccines and their Emergency Use Authorization could not continue unless an Emergency was in effect. We believe that this was how they planned it as well as the fact that this only could have happened in a possible under the table deal where Republicans OK'd this abuse of power by HHS to keep the vaccines flowing while in public at least ending the national emergency.

More to follow on this and the vaccine replacements with new emergency use authorizations from the FDA.
