Beware of Phony Public Health Emergencies
As Dr. McCullough characterized the problem in his January 23, 2022 speech from the Lincoln Memorial, medical freedom is like a circle linked to the circles of social and economic freedom.
As he put it:
If we allow the circle of medical freedom to be touched, let alone broken, all of the circles fracture.
Because humans are capable of inflicting physical harm on others, the State has always reserved the right to arrest anyone who threatens others with violence.
When SARS-CoV-2 arrived, the State applied the same logic to everyone.
Everyone, we were told, could harbor the deadly virus, and therefore the State reserved the right to place everyone under house arrest.
Thus we see how a purported Public Health Emergency can become the mechanism for subverting our Constitution.
Shortly after SARS-CoV-2 arrived, Alex Azar, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, declared a Public Health Emergency, thereby providing legal justification for the massive pandemic response.
The exercise was so profitable for a host of public and private interests that the Biden Administration couldn’t resist the temptation to do the same trick with Monkeypox.
On August 22, 2022, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra declared the disease a Public Health Emergency.
In a society of reasonable grownups, a “public emergency” is a clear and present danger, to borrow Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s standard for justifying the restriction of freedom of speech.
A hypothetical danger of infectious disease—presented in erroneous or fraudulent simulations and modeling—is not sufficient to declare a Public Health Emergency.
When a true public emergency arrives, reasonable grownups— or people of “ordinary prudence,” to use a legal expression—are likely to recognize it and take steps to avoid it unless their powers of perception are distorted by propaganda or some other means of mass deception.
The scenario of a phony public healthy emergency, such as Monkeypox this year, was spoofed in the 2010 Simpsons episode House Cat Flu.

Every public health emergency is a scam except, perhaps, if it is local. National emergencies do not exist (unless there might be a nuclear war or an alien invasion). That is because these clowns think there is an emergency in some little part of the country and then they automatically claim it is a threat to the entire country and all without any facts or precedence. The CDC is famous for this chicanery because they serve no other useful purpose and need fake reasons to substantiate their existence.

@ “A hypothetical danger of infectious disease—presented in erroneous or fraudulent simulations and modeling—”
The same (“hypothetical danger”) is valid for the virus. There is no evidence of the virus itself. It can easily be proven hypothetical because no one shows the virus’s specimen. Once the hypothetical and imaginary scenario of the “virus” is accepted, things will start to fall into place, i.e., no “emergency state” and no need for vaccination.
