Inside the US’s new “bio-defense strategy”

Guest Post by Michael Bryant

The Biden administration recently released its 2022 National Biodefense Strategy in response to “a need to prepare for future pandemics and biological threats.”

Building on its September Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing, the Biden administration  maintains that this latest program – what it calls ‘Biodefense’ – will be based upon the “lessons learned from the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic.”

The opening paragraph of the plan states:

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration fulfills a commitment that President Biden made on his first day in office: to review existing national biopreparedness policies and develop recommendations for how the Federal Government should update them, based on lessons learned from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other biological threats our Nation faces.”

It seems the President forgot that just a month earlier on 60 Minutes he plainly declared the pandemic was over. He also seems to be ignoring the fact that there are profound disagreements on what lessons were actually learned from the raft of disastrous COVID-19 policies enacted over the past two and a half years.

This becomes deeply problematic when these same disastrous COVID-19 policies become the template for both domestic and foreign policy over the next 5 years, or more, if the Biden administration and their sponsors have their way.

Putting aside the rather important question as to how it is we arrived at the point where democratic processes have been thrown into the dustbin, replaced by Executive Orders and presidential fiats, we need to understand/examine the particulars of this latest decree being sold as a ‘pandemic preparedness plan’ and the resulting landscape if implemented.

While the proposed plan is filled with typically opaque language a quick look at the fact sheet gives a  clear picture of what’s in store if this program gets rammed through.

The fact sheet opens with the obligatory ministerial doublespeak.

It outlines a set of bold goals to transform the nation’s biodefenses and health security by launching a whole-of-government effort across 20 Federal Agencies to detect, prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from biological incidents, in partnership with our international, state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners.

From the outset this makes clear that this is a blueprint which will encompass multiple government agencies and copious public resources. This also reveals the designs for this plan to be ‘exported’ to numerous international allies, agencies and organizations which fall under the US sphere of influence.

It goes on to state the following:

COVID-19 is the latest example of how biological threats can devastate communities across America and around the world, resulting in millions of deaths and trillions of dollars of economic losses globally.

This false presupposition that it was COVID-19 that wrecked communities and killed millions is slyly inserted in order to create the justification for such a plan. This is classic linguistic subterfuge, distorting the alleged disease with the response to the disease and the mandated policies.

This purposeful diversion is a transparent attempt to hide the fact that the insane collection of COVID-19 policies- from lockdowns, to ‘social distancing’, to masks, to contact-tracing, to PCR tests, to vaccine mandates- were all pseudo-scientific quackery that served to destroy civil society and maimed millions of people.

The Biden administration perpetuates these lies deflecting from the disastrous effects these policies had and are having on the general public. This duplicity also serves to provide cover for the sinister architects of these criminal policies.

This is especially important considering this attempt to turn their COVID-19 policy shipwreck into permanent state policy.
