The Pro-vaccine crowd wants us to forget everything...
LET’S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/covid-response-forgiveness/671879/
We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.
These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is:
We didn’t know.
Some of these choices turned out better than others. To take an example close to my own work, there is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high. The latest figures on learning loss are
alarming. But in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.
.......
We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge. Los Angeles County
closed its beaches in summer 2020. Ex post facto, this makes no more sense than my family’s masked hiking trips. But we need to learn from our mistakes and then let them go. We need to forgive the attacks, too. Because I thought schools should reopen and argued that kids as a group were not at high risk, I was called a “teacher killer” and a “
génocidaire.” It wasn’t pleasant, but feelings were high. And I certainly don’t need to dissect and rehash that time for the rest of my days.

The Atlantic Wants to Declare a Pandemic Amnesty. I Say Hell No.

So let’s get very clear who Emily personifies. Emily personifies the mom who scared her four-year-old son so badly about a virus that had a minuscule chance of harming him that he screamed at another girl trying to enjoy a leisurely stroll on a bridge. Emily personifies the woman who accused you of wanting to harm people’s grandparents for not wearing a mask while food shopping. Emily personifies the woman who gave you snide looks when you tried to eat on an airplane, and Emily calls you a dangerous disinformation spreader if you advocate for informed consent before taking a novel gene experiment.
Emily is now trying to move the goalposts because they’ve lost, and accountability isn’t attractive.
Understand, these are the people who destroyed global life for two straight years for no reason other than blind tyranny. The data showing this was out early, but people like Emily said it was all misinformation while also believing that a HOMEMADE CLOTH MASK would stop a microscopic virus from entering your airways. Very data driven. Very “science.” I will give it a minute. I know it’s hard to even comprehend. I mean, data and analytics and all.
These are the people who advocated the unvaccinated be locked in their homes, unable to travel, fired, a scourge on polite society. The people that said the unvaccinated should be shunned, scorned, and ridiculed, all while trying to coax YOUR FAMILY into getting a shot for the good of the elders. A shot, by the way, that has been proven so deadly, we are seeing a once in a lifetime happening surrounding
excess deaths. Let that sink in for a moment.
And now that all of this information is coming out to the fore, now that we will have Fauci sitting for depositions, and the proof that all of the establishment “Emily’s” have colluded with social media so YOU couldn’t speak is coming out, Emily wants to just let bygones be bygones and move on. I mean, people make mistakes, right (nervous laugh.) We can’t FAULT people for making mistakes!
Oh, no, Emily, we can, and we will. COVID and everything surrounding it will NOT be swept under the rug so that people like you can avoid being held accountable for the absolute HELL you put everyone through for more than 2 years. We will not allow you to decimate the human race and all of society and walk off into the sunset because “we made a mistake, mmkay?”
The stolen election, the babies who didn’t get to see faces for years and learn human interaction, the kids who committed suicide because you ripped them out of school, the kids who missed their proms and graduations, the families who couldn’t bury their dead while George Floyd had 6 funerals, the children who didn’t get to say goodbye to their moms and dads in nursing homes, the evil mRNA rollout and ongoing fall out from that- the most consequential human suffering in history, the death, the destruction, the economic fallout, the censorship, the lies, the tyranny.
We won’t forget your demonization of safe and effective early treatment that could’ve saved thousands of lives and the forced treatment using unsafe drugs like Remdesivir. We won’t forget how you have attacked world-renowned physicians who have stepped up to be the champions to save those lives, stripping them of their licenses and
credentials because they didn’t toe the line. We won’t forget what you have done to taint the population on the safety and efficacy of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Horse paste, anyone? We also won’t forget how you tried to gaslight the world into thinking President Trump said people should inject BLEACH. You even pulled this little bit of misinformation into your “Amnesty” request. You have learned nothing. You know nothing. And you will not be forgiven for continuing your ignorance in favor of your societal “safety.”
You should learn a thing or two about COVID. You can start
here.
No, you don’t get “amnesty” for this level of destruction. There will be justice and accountability, and this will never be allowed to happen again.
And a warm and fuzzy little op-ed in “The Atlantic” isn’t convincing anyone otherwise.
If you missed my message to humanity, read it now
