We had a sense that this was going to be the outcome at ACIP.

Unfortunately, just as the things were lining up, and we had, you know, we put out calls to people to write into the CDC.

We all took part in that opportunity to try and get them to stop making this, I think, grave error.

I think this will go down as one of the biggest catastrophic errors in science.

So, you know, this really, you know, in many ways, I think we saw this starting to, you know, ramp up really with an announcement that Biden made.

I think what makes the context of this so important is looking at what President Biden said just a few weeks ago about the state of this pandemic.

So let's take a look at that first.

Is the pandemic over?

The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over.

If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape.

So it's amazing, right? We had just a few weeks ago, the President of the United States saying the pandemic is over, right?

Which I think for most people, it's great. We can let down our shoulders. This entire ridiculous trade we've been a part of has ended, and we can all move on with the rest of our lives.

Yeah, just weeks after that comment by the President, we have Javier Bacera from HHS. He's the Secretary of the Head there.

He came out and renewed the public health emergency that is the COVID-19 public health emergency.

So kind of going against what Biden was saying.

So now we're still in a public health emergency. And of course, one of the reasons for that public health emergency here.

We have that right here. Let me go ahead and read that. Renewal of determination that a public health emergency exists.

Remember, this is coming from the Biden administration. So he's not going against it. Biden must be going along with it as a result of the continued consequences.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on this date and after consultation with public health officials is necessary.

I, Javier Bacera, Secretary of Health and Human Services pursuant to the authority vested in me under section 319, the Public Health Service Act.

Do you hear about Renew effective October 13th, 2022? A few days ago, the January 31st, 2020 determination by former Secretary Alex Azar that he previously renewed on April 21st, 2020, July 23rd, 2020, October 2nd, 2020, January 7th, 2021.
