1,135 days.
That’s the extant of time the United States has spent under a national emergency declaration. On Monday, the White House issued a single sentence press release noting that President Biden had signed into law House Joint Resolution 7 which ended the Covid pandemic emergency declaration first initiated by President Donald Trump on March 13th (backdated to March 1, 2020).
The emergency was “renewed” 13 times by the director of Health and Human Services— first Azar and most recently Becerra.
At this point, one is tempted to say: “… and thus ends our long national nightmare” but the damage and impact of the policies enacted during the declaration are just now being tallied and some are ongoing.
The healthcare system experienced significant disruption as a result of the disease but arguably more-so from Covid policies themselves. Medical errors increased in hospitals due to the constraints on resources and mandates. Millions of cancer screenings were missed, potentially causing a future surge in late-stage cases. HIV testing was disrupted, leading to delayed diagnoses and treatment.
Many of the Covid models that informed Covid policies proved to be flawed or unreliable, further eroding trust in the institutions that promoted them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) faced multiple controversies, including accusations of hiding data, unreliable data, and tracking millions of Americans’ phone locations. Additionally, the influence of unions on CDC policy raised concerns about political interference in public health decisions. Additionally, decisions to count Covid illnesses with the widest latitude led serious inaccurate death counts, prompting more fear and furthering egregious policies.
Privacy and censorship concerns related to Covid policies also loomed large. Governments and private companies used Covid apps to expand surveillance, stop protests, and profit from user information. Reports of CDC collusion with big tech have prompted multiple hearings on Capitol Hill. Credentialed experts, like Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya, were targeted for censorship by unelected government bureaucrats and even former officials used their influence to try and silence others – like yours truly.
The massive spending on Covid relief programs also had significant consequences — arguably leading to the many of the financial hardships we are experiencing today. In Canada, billions were wasted in poorly managed programs. Similarly, in the United States, the vaunted PPP loans – designed to help American businesses retain W2 workers – suffered over $80 billion in fraudulent claims. LIkewise, billions in aid went to hospitals that didn’t need the funds, raising questions about the allocation and oversight of any and all Covid relief funds.
One of the most significant consequences of Covid policies has been the impact on child health and development. Lockdowns led to a distressing increase in infant abuse and a surge in anxiety among children. Notably, the restrictions had a devastating impact on teenagers, as well as causing developmental delays in babies. The development of children was negatively impacted by masks and isolation, exacerbating speech and expression difficulties. The reporting of abuse was diminished by lockdowns, and the implementation of Covid regulations led to an increase in cases of child sexual abuse.
Globally, Covid regulations also led to a rise in child labor worldwide, with millions of additional child marriages predicted as a consequence of the pandemic. These policies contributed to a significant crisis in child development.
The consequences of Covid regulations on education are equally jarring. Learning loss was a significant outcome of lockdowns, as remote learning proved to be unsatisfactory and even a complete failure. The learning of 1.6 billion children was disrupted due to Covid regulations, worsening the global learning crisis. Students were greatly affected by the disastrous impact of lockdowns, leaving them ill-equipped for the future.
Despite evidence showing that immunocompromised children have a low risk of contracting Covid and that it is uncommon for children to experience Long COVID, the debate around vaccination and its effectiveness in children continues. The UK has initiated compensation payments for vaccine-related injuries, and some experts advise against children receiving boosters due to potential risks.
Interestingly, interacting with children has been shown to improve Covid outcomes, suggesting that isolation measures may not have been the most effective approach. Lastly, vaccination rates for other diseases among children continue to decline, raising concerns about future public health challenges – demonstrating the serious loss of trust in our health institutions.
Journalist David Zweig recently highlighted a Montessori school in Ithaca, NY that just can’t seem to shake the stringencies. Like some remote tribe in the Amazon, the school goes on foisting Covid mandates on its pupils long after its peer schools have moved on. A good majority of major universities still require vaccine mandates for their students and numerous public institutions will run visitors through the gauntlet of plexiglass and pandemic policies which are a distant memory in some states.
This litany of terrible consequences should trigger a long reflection on our deeds – even to the level of sackcloth and ashes – but don’t hold your breath. We succumbed – all of us – in one way or another to the terrible decisions. It took the climate lobby four decades to convince us that what we exhaled was killing the planet. It took the Covid lobby all of four weeks to convince us that what we exhaled would kill grandma.
The Covid pandemic policies have had far-reaching impacts on our society. People now have lowered trust in public institutions, raised worries about privacy and freedom of speech, and the financial ramifications will persist for a long time. As we tally up the damage, it’s vital to draw lessons from these missteps so future responses are more balanced, open, and successful in tackling public health crises without compromising civic rights and public confidence.

Kill every GAWD DAMN one of these sub-human PARASITES.
Look……………..the ruling elites are trying to KILL you and your family.
Grow a pair and at least show DEFIANCE on the street and interweb.
And I got it…………..some here think Im a fbi/cia/nsa/fda/doe/FU glowie.
Again……………grow a pair and get off the outrage-go-round.
Your silence is their greenlight.
Thanks Langley bot. You the best provocateur agent evah!!!
Since the chinks released the wuflu intentionally just nuke the god damned fish eyed bastards back to the stone age
You still think it was the chinks that released it?
The critical thinkers knew from the get-go that “it” came from the good ole USA.
There is no bug. A narrative was released, though. And it’s continuing:
Western media attempts listlessly to stir new panic about surging infections in China, studiously ignores what is actually happening there

Another Langely bot.
I always looked askance at this guy. Maybe I was wrong. Or maybe it was just the bow tie.
Either way, this is worth listening to:
you’re mistaking Hart for Jeff Tucker. But I agree, these guys at Brownstone are part of the problem. They regurgitate alot of the official narratives and garbage data that have kept this thing going
Sorry, link failed to load.
Here’s the guy I was referring to:
“Dr.” David Martin speaking at EU Parliament.
In summery the federal government is the enemy of every American past, present and future.
This isn’t over. It’s just Act One of a larger opus. When the credit markets implode again we’ll get Act Two but they need to play for time until World Health Organization pandemic treaty goes live mid-2024. Just before elections, what a coincidence.
The Big Plan.
“…a Montessori school in Ithaca, NY that just can’t seem to shake the stringencies…”
Ithaca, home of Cornell University itself a hotbed of left wing socio-political liberalism. Where anti-intellectualism reigns ever so powerful.
The precious little Montessorians are most likely children of Cornell’s faculty aristocracy, those who are not held accountable for their classroom “teachings” but exempt from the punishment of reality because of their privileged tenure.
What better place for those up and coming little neo-Marxists than in Ithaca?
how things have turned around… a generation or two ago, montessori schools were a place where kids were learning to think and operate independently.. and now theyve become woker and more ideological than the rest of the lot!
Stop that bullshit right there.
All “models” of CONVID are computer-generated, just like the entire Plandemic itself — á la Event 201 — so let’s call out the entire hoax: an AI-controlled exercise under the guise of a public health emergency. It all makes sense when you consider this. Do you really believe humans would or could have ruthlessly executed such a plan, with a respectable success rate? Come on — left up to humans, somebody would have fucked it all up.
Nonetheless, it still took human complicity to accomplish its goals, and that took complicit humans, of which there are apparently many (and some in waiting). Taking AI public is just another way for them to rub in our faces that which has been in control of our entire country since one of the Joes took office (or at least a green-screen facsimile thereof).
Why do you think Bill Gates has been promoted as the Mad Baby Genius behind it all? Why would any of us be interested in the thoughts of a pie-in-the-kisser geek like him?
All viruses are computer models; Event 201 just proved how powerful computers have become. AI is only a reflection of the people who programmed it.
You hit the nail on the head. The only thing you missed is yes they do release many genetically altered toxins.
Toxins I will totally agree with; viruses, not at all.
Until Big Pharma took over, mankind did just fine with natural immunity.
All models are wrong, but some models are useful.
– George Box
And let’s not forget all of the climate hysteria comes from computer models projecting temperature changes in the next 100 years. Computers run on programs that can contain the prejudice of the programmer.
Yes. And yes.
Your argument is basically the old saw about conspiracy theories, that is “C’mon, do you know how many people would have to be in on it?”
The answer is surprisingly few to propagate the foundational lies. After that, the people who buy the lies go on to behave based on what they expect to be true.
The bastards are still pushing the clot shots.
