The Power of Public Health Agencies Must Be Curbed BY JAYANTA BHATTACHARYA MAY 19, 2023
Over the past three years, the public has seen first-hand the tremendous power the public health establishment wields. Using emergency power that most people never realized an American government possessed, public health violated Americans’ most fundamental civil rights in the name of infection control.
We endured three years of useless and divisive policies, including lockdowns, church and business closures, Zoom schools, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates and discrimination. Now that the WHO has declared the end of the covid pandemic and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has announced her resignation, it is time for states to take action to limit the power of public health so that a repeat never happens again.
Contrary to what you hear these days from those making poor decisions throughout the pandemic, many of the errors were not honest mistakes. Public health embraced positions at odds with the scientific evidence throughout the pandemic, for instance, by pretending that immunity after COVID recovery does not exist, and by overstating the ability of the vaccine to stop COVID infection and transmission. Despite many getting vaccinated, COVID spread and people died anyway, with tremendous collateral harm—both economic and in terms of public health—deriving from the favored policies of our public health institutions.
It is time to adopt laws to limit the powers of public health. MORE AT The Power of Public Health Agencies Must Be Curbed ⋆ Brownstone Institute

Agreed but we pretty much went on with our lives. We went to church, ate out and saw plays in another state that didn't have the craziness of passports. We didn't get the shots and no one in our family got them either. Without exception, every person we know who tested positive for covid was "vaccinated", That says it all.
