President Joe Biden declared the COVID-19 pandemic is “over” in a statement that took officials in his administration by surprise and led to questions about why the Government continues to enforce federal mandates and seek more funding to fight the disease. The Mail has more.
Biden’s statement, made during an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes that aired on Sunday night, came as a surprise to administration officials, two senior health officials told the Washington Post.
And his seemingly off-the-cuff comment may have torpedoed his request to Congress for $22.4 billion in funds to fight the pandemic. Republicans were already wary about supporting the funding and Biden’s declaration didn’t win him any support.
“The pandemic is over,” Biden told CBS News. “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, and so I think it’s changing.”
Earlier this summer, the U.S. renewed its order designating Covid a national emergency. The designation was set to expire in October. It gives the administration flexibility to combat the pandemic, including rapidly authorizing treatments and keeping many Americans covered by Medicaid.
The World Health Organisation also says Covid remains a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
And Ashish Jha, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said earlier this month that Covid was still out there.
Yet more policy confusion in the Biden administration.

These WEF/Global Reset/BBB pawns all speak our of both sides of their mouths.
One side says what needs to be said to get votes, the other says what their corporate eugenisist masters tell them to say.
They interchange between the two as it suits them.
As they they control the media, they are never held to account for their Janus faced deceit.
November is coming and he needs to get his base of drones to the polls to vote like sheep. Not long afterwards, some other emergency will come to require their despotic rules.
Its not confusing if you know what they want.
this is not policy confusion. multiple objective forensic indicators demonstrate that ‘covid vaccinations’ and accompanying covid policy are one of the cutting edges of the World Economic Forum / World Health Organisation criminal assault on humanity with intent to impoverish, digital enslave, and genocide. in classic coercive control style, WEF/WHO are doing this using a dissembling cover of pretending to ‘help’ us, for our own benefit. in this context, the sadly dementing president of the United States of America is merely an useful idiot.
Does this mean that the TUA on the vaccines expires with it?
You’d have though so; theoretically “Emergency Use Authorisation” (EUA) should expire at the end of an “Emergency”, otherwise certain firms would always want an “Emergency” at the start of marketing any new product, instead of the normal financial risks with any new drug being developed and marketed.
However, it is probably normal for some like Biden to say things that are not on the script, disrupting “officials” to some extent.Wait and see. Reminds me of an old Party Political conference when the “Autocue” failed, leaving a certain leader alone, and having to make it up as he went along on a live broadcast!
Dictators don’t always read the script.
Indeed, Biden thus needs to remove all remaining mandates and restrictions. Yesterday.
To paraphrase former President Reagan: “Mr. Biden, tear down this plexiglass!”
An American view, from Vinay Prasad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_cNez3_1kQ&list=WL&index=6 Including a novel definition of “pandemic”. The concept that it’s political in the main, rather than anything else, makes sense to me.
My granny makes more sense than JB, and she’s long since been sectioned.
