Horowitz: Chip Roy calls on House Republicans to use pandemic reauthorization bill for COVID reckoning
Conservative Review ^ | August 7, 2023 | Daniel Horowitz

How many more 20-year-old basketball players do we need to see come down with myocarditis before there is a reckoning on the COVID shots? Rep. Chip Roy has taken up our call to use the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act to force a conversation, and hopefully policy changes, on this very point. Will GOP leaders embrace this opportunity?

Absent reauthorization at the end of this fiscal year, BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority) and the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response – two agencies instrumental in the biomedical surveillance, tyranny, and experimentation state – will cease to exist. This is why Chip Roy is calling on his colleagues to refuse to consider reauthorizing these offices without the following list of reforms:

Returning PAHPA-related funding to pre-COVID levels to stop public health bureaucrats from undermining liberty for Americans and to curtail corporate cronyism. This is an important recognition that the pandemic was supposed to be a “once-in-100-years event” and should not become a permanent industry. Oh, and if we believe it is now a permanent threat, then clearly it’s not natural, and what we need is more law enforcement than public health!

Reforming vaccine liability to secure proper compensation for those injured by vaccines to ensure that health care corporations are not given a free pass for any harms they may cause. This is probably the most important reform, because it is what ensures that vaccine makers actually have an incentive to make them safer. With the discovery process inherent in lawsuits, there is no way the vaccine companies and their supporters in government can continue obfuscating safety data needed for informed consent.

Establishing a commission to review vaccine liability and efficacy. Normally, commissions are a cop-out for doing something more substantial, such as the old congressional trick of creating a debt commission rather than actually cutting spending. But the debt is an open and known problem with nothing further to study. The problem with vaccines is that the public does not have the full background on rationale, safety, and efficacy data. Not all vaccines are equal, and we need a commission (with a diverse set of backgrounds and views) to sort this out. Just the creation of a committee itself implies that not all is imperviously utopian with vaccines, as the industry and the medical field want you to believe.

Auditing and making public information about “Operation Warp Speed,” including the role of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. There is now a lot of information showing that the manufacturers and the FDA/CDC knew during the clinical trial period, as well as the early days of the commercial use of the vaccine, that there were serious safety issues, but chose to cover them up. All that information needs to be made public.

Asserting American sovereignty over the World Health Organization and other international treaties and bodies. Part of what the left wants to do with reauthorizing PAHPA is to use the office of ASPR as a conduit to implement the pandemic agreement being crafted by the WHO. That agreement is going to be voted on next year and, if passed, will dramatically expand the powers of the WHO to declare more emergencies in perpetuity. Stopping the WHO is a bare minimum prerequisite to funding any pandemic-related agencies.

Imposing total data transparency on Health and Human Services, notably related to the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response’s COVID-19 response. Which data were used to promote lockdowns, masks, remdesivir, and the COVID shots? Because no real-world experience shows efficacy to any of the preferred countermeasures. If these agencies embody the science, then they must show us the science.

Auditing PAHPA-related procurement authority as it relates to COVID-19 to determine to what extent corporations exploited COVID-19 to make profits. This one is where we will uncover the pay-for-play. To what extent were decisions driven more by money and connections than data? How could something as toxic as remdesivir ever get approved? Where did Moderna come from, and how has it suddenly become a big player with a dozen more mRNAs in the pipeline?

Limiting or banning Chinese-manufactured goods from the Strategic National Stockpile.

Ending COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restricting federal powers to demand compulsory vaccination. Although most of the mandates have been canceled, there is shockingly nothing on the books to prevent vaccine and mask mandates from returning. These same agencies still believe in them as the go-to measures for flu outbreaks or any other endemic or pandemic virus. It goes without saying that no new pandemic funding can be appropriated without burying all mandates forever. I would add that no vaccine mandates of any genre can ever be legal.

Creating an independent Office of Inspector General for the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Food and Drug Administration. Even though these agencies are in two different departments, they need unique scrutiny as one.

Immediately requiring Senate confirmation of the CDC director, including Dr. Mandy Cohen. We need to use her confirmation process as a conduit for a national reckoning, so naturally, no new funding should go to any public health agency without first embarking on this process.

Reforming congressional authority over public health emergency powers. It is shocking that we’ve gone three years since the world was remade by executive order and Congress has still not limited the president’s emergency powers to suspend the Constitution. No emergency declaration should be allowed to continue for more than 30 days without congressional approval.

Banning taxpayer dollars from funding gain-of-function research. This one also is obvious, although the language of gain-of-function needs to clearly prohibit any research that makes a pathogen more transmissible or pathogenic. Also, there must be a private cause of action for citizens or states to sue public and private actors engaged in such research – either at home or abroad.

It’s not a question of if but when another plandemic will be created. The Biden administration has just picked its replacement for Anthony Fauci as the new head of NIAID. Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo is just as fanatical and outspoken in support of lockdowns, masks, the WHO, and mRNA as Fauci. Nothing will change on its own, especially as officials continue to approve RSV shots with very concerning data.

“Failure to include these reforms risks not just the reauthorization of PAHPA altogether, but the support of our constituents who demand accountability,” the letter led by Rep. Roy continues. “We encourage House Republicans to come together to make further reforms to advance only a legislative package that protects the rights of all Americans, strengthens congressional oversight of the public health system, and ensures accountability for the failed COVID-19 response.” The letter was signed by 19 members of Congress, mainly from the Freedom Caucus. It's about time an issue that affected civilization more than any other be addressed by more than a handful of backbenchers. GOP leaders need to lead or get out of the way.
