The “Disease X” Dilemma

Government’s gambit for greater control

As if Americans didn’t deal with enough tyranny in the name of Covid, we’re now being introduced to “Disease X.” “What is Disease X” you ask? At the moment, nothing. The term is merely a designation for any as yet unknown viral “threat” to our democracy™ (well, an alleged threat anyway).

The (alleged) purpose of having such a designation is to encourage “scientists to work on medical countermeasures for unknown infectious threats” (What Is Disease X? How Scientists Are Preparing for the Next Pandemic).

Enter H.R. 3832. Titled, “The Disease X Act of 2023,” H.R. 3832 was introduced in the House of Representatives in June 2023. This bill, sponsored by Lori Trahan of Massachusetts, was co-sponsored by another Democrat and two Texas Republicans, one of them being Dan Crenshaw. The bill expands the federal government’s “emergency powers” to deal with health crises. The claimed purpose is “to establish a program at BARDA for developing medical countermeasures for viral threats with pandemic potential.” In other words, Congress is seeking to bolster government’s power to vanquish the next virus. Because with all the ginormous genius of our best and brightest, Congress was able to conquer Covid so quickly.

Back to BARDA, if you’ve never heard of it, don’t fret - the Internet is your friend. BARDA is the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), an office under the  US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The bill gives BARDA authority to perform “advanced research” of viruses, and “advanced manufacturing of medical countermeasures.” In other words, our Congressmen believed Covid so successful that they want to bring Wuhan to the U.S. and engage in disastrous viral gain of function research on American soil. Oh, and guess who gets to pay for it? If you guessed our Congressmen, stop reading now. It’s all on you.

You also get to foot the bill for attempting to develop, and potentially (and unconstitutionally) mandate the use of countermeasures a la the Covid vaccine.

As this bill seeks only to modify text in existing Title 42 statute (42 U.S. Code § 247d-7e) it is actually incredibly short and easy to read - all-in-all about ten sentences, some of which simply indicate changes in punctuation.

The meat of the bill lies in two clauses to be added to the statute:

(C) by inserting after clause (ii) the following:

“(iii) the identification and development of platform manufacturing technologies needed for advanced development and manufacturing of medical countermeasures for viral families which have significant potential to cause a pandemic;

“(iv) advanced research and development of flexible medical countermeasures against priority respiratory virus families and other respiratory viral pathogens with a significant potential to cause a pandemic, with both pathogen-specific and pathogen-agnostic approaches;

Even without the context of the statute into which they are being inserted, these clauses carry much cause for concern. “Identification of platform manufacturing technologies needed for advanced development and manufacturing of medical countermeasures” - read: rushing untested, unproven, dangerous, even life-threatening concoctions (I won’t call them medical treatments, “vaccines,” or other legitimate terms) into production and circulation. This is what was done with the Covid shots (they are not vaccines, and despite the CDC changing their definition of “vaccine,” the Covid shots still don’t fit - if you want me to explain, ask in the comments). Of course, the government, pharmaceutical firms, and many others in the “healthcare” (sick care?) industry will still deny the danger of those doses, but study after study (not to mention an abundance of anecdotal evidence) belie their rabid refusals.

Assuming the “countermeasures” are safe (in the case of Covid, they weren’t), there are other constitutional questions at play. First and foremost, where does the Constitution grant the government any authority whatsoever to be involved in dealing with “healthcare”? I’ll give you a hint: nowhere! The federal government has no business injecting itself into the medical arena. Second, if the government does unconstitutionally intervene in an alleged medical crisis, what constitutional authority exists to force or mandate citizens to wear masks, take medicine, or do anything for that matter? Answer: none. They can no more force you to wear a mask than they can force you to wash your hands. In fact, quite the opposite. These are all a matter of liberty, and according to the Fifth Amendment (and many State Constitutions), “no person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The government can not force any medical treatment (especially if it has not been properly vetted - and the Covid shots never were), as even the government admits in citing the Nuremberg Code on the HHS website.

The second additional clause is more egregious. This clause allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award money for “advanced research and development of flexible medical countermeasures against priority respiratory virus families and other respiratory viral pathogens.” When combined with the context of 42 U.S. Code § 247d-7e, which includes “research on and development of research tools and other devices and technologies,” one can only assume gain of function and other pernicious practices are to be authorized. Of course, as with the safety of the shots, much raillery remains regarding Wuhan as the source for Covid. For many, such as myself, however, there is no question as to whether the Chinese lab was the origin of the outbreak. Do we really want the same happening on U.S. soil? And do you want the government dipping into your wallet to fund it?

As with so much in which the Federal Government involves itself, this is all well beyond the bounds defined in the Constitution. The Constitution does not say the government’s powers are limited except in case of medical emergency. Even if it did, there’s no evidence that Covid ever was the emergency of epic proportion the experts™ claimed nor that there ever has been a true pandemic. This bill is nothing more than tin-pot tyrants seeking to enact more tin-pot tyranny. Frankly, I think all of Title 42 needs to be tossed in the incinerator as there is no Constitutional justification for anything contained therein. In the meantime, are you ready for the next scamdemic? Because this bill is clear evidence that the government is preparing to perpetrate their next plandemic upon us.
