The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act' (commonly referred to as the Prep Act), passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in December 2005, is federal legislation designed to provide immunity from liability for certain individuals and entities involved in the development, manufacture, distribution, and administration of "covered countermeasures" during a declared public health emergency.[1]

Overview

The Act is activated upon the declaration of a Public Health Emergency (PHE) by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Such declaration is entirely arbitrary, based solely on the HHS' opinion, and requires no justification and is non-reviewable by the judiciary branch, nor by Congress.[2]

  • The PREP Act enables the “non-investigational” (outside of the law, regulations and liability-free) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) pathway for drugs, vaccines and other medical products.[3]
  • EUA pathway allows for the bypassing of ALL regulatory requirements for clinical trials, manufacturing quality, safety, and labeling due to non-enforcement of those laws for countermeasures under arbitrarily-declared pandemic emergency.[4]

The definition of "covered countermeasures" is vague and includes vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, treatments, and other items. This definition can even extend to targeting technologies (mandates for false-positive PCR or lateral flow tests), and according to Sasha Latypova also covers sophisticated informational weaponry, such as coordinated media lies, propaganda and censorship.[5]

Criticism

Katherine Watt called the framework created by the PREP Act and related legislation as the "American Domestic Bioterrorism Program", arguing that it legalized actions that were previously illegal under the guise of public health. This constitutes an overthrow of the U.S. Constitution.[6]

Sasha Latypova pointed out that the PREP Act creates a "license to kill" with covered weaponry/”countermeasures” by covered persons, as long as the perpetrators claim they are acting in an emergency in the interests of public health and HHS’ orders are followed.[5]




Use

As of 2026, the PREP Act is invoked for countermeasures related to COVID-19, Marburg virus, Ebola, Zika, avian flu, RSV, monkeypox, anthrax, and smallpox. {SM}}
