Mark Dolan: Covid has been the biggest “I told you so” in history. Never forgive and never forget. And when it comes to any of these disastrous Covid measures, never again.
I’m sorry somebody called you genocidal, Emily Oster. That must’ve been tough for you. You know what’s also tough? Getting your head kicked in by riot police because you had the temerity to protest against indefinite population-wide house arrest.
Or being fired from your university job and banned in perpetuity from the premises because you uploaded a video to social media complaining about the onerous and expensive testing requirements imposed upon unvaccinated staff. Or being confined to your house and threatened with fines because of personal medical decisions that had no chance of impacting the broader course of the pandemic in the first place. But somebody called this woman genocidal in French and she’s ready to move on, so it’s all good. ...
It is just hard to put into words how infuriating it is, to read this breezy triviliasation of the absolute hell we’ve been through, penned by some comfortable and clueless Ivy League mommyconomist who is ready to mouth support for basically any pandemic policy that doesn’t directly affect her or her family and then plead that the horrible behaviour and policies supported by her entire social milieu are just down to ignorance about the virus. We knew everything we needed to know about SARS-2 already in February 2020. The pandemicists and their supporters crossed many bright red lines in their eradicationist zeal and ruined untold millions of lives. That doesn’t all just go away now.
Jeffrey Tucker of Brownstone: "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" in asking forgiveness for their COVID lockdown lunacy that caused people and children to kill themselves
It’s been more than obvious since April 2020 that lockdowns were far too costly for individuals and society and could never earn a rational public-health defense. And the evidence was rolling in from one year later that the vaccine mandates were similarly indefensible.
Both tactics had in common the enormous use of state coercion that flew in the face of every principle of civilized government.
As we are constantly told, both people and government were panicked, and needlessly so. As it turns out, the infection fatality rate was not 2-3 percent, as the WHO had said early on, or 1 percent as Fauci told the Senate in March 2020, but rather 0.035 percent for anyone under the age of 60 (which is 94 percent of the population).
Covid has been highly transmissible and with it the resulting protection of natural immunity. The correct policy should have been to maintain all social and market functioning while the actual vulnerable population protected itself as it awaited widespread immunity. That’s how every generation for 100 years has handled infectious disease: as a medical and not political matter. ...
Where are the apologies? Sorry seems to be the hardest word. Faced with enormous failure, the machinery that did this to us has generally refused to say the simple word. It’s the hardest thing for people with power to admit their fallibility. Even though the whole world knows what they did and vast and increasing numbers are aware of the utter failure, the political class still insists on living in a fantasy land of its own creation.
There are exceptions.
Prime Minister Imran Khan apologized for lockdowns in April 2020.
Ron DeSantis of Florida has repeatedly said that the lockdowns were an enormous mistake and will never happen again so long as he is in charge. That’s very close to being an apology, though many residents are still awaiting the magic word.
Also in 2020, Norway’s prime minister Erna Solberg went on Norwegian television to say that she and others panicked and “took many of the decisions out of fear.”
That’s close to being an apology.
So far as I know, that’s about it. Until yesterday. The new Premier of Alberta Canada Danielle Smith has offered an apology to Albertans who were discriminated against because of their COVID-19 vaccination status. “I am deeply sorry for any government employee that lost their job and I welcome them back if they want to come back.”
Glory be! That’s precisely what we are looking for. Not just from a few but from all. The near absence of such apologies is driving the massive political realignment the world over, as furious voters demand admission of wrongdoing and justice for the victims. ...
For strange reasons of timing and loss of principle, the “woke” left found itself mixed up in lockdown politics and then the vaccine mandate. Many of them lined up with policies that violate the very rights they had spent decades defending. So much for the Bill of Rights, the freedom of movement, the appreciation for the classless society, bodily autonomy, and so on. The left lost its soul during these years, and thereby alienated multitudes of sane lefties who watched in horror as their own tribe abandoned them in favor of the authoritarianism they had long decried. ...
You mean all this suffering and horror was for naught? Once that realization dawns, fear turns to anger, and anger to action.

I'd like to know how many other maladies have an IFR of .035.
He had typical things being seen now in people post vax. They lose their personality. They lose their minds. They lose their capacity to think. They become demented. They can’t hear. They can’t speak. They can’t see. They are no longer the humans that they were. They are destroyed human beings. Their brains are destroyed. The doctor found something so terrible he had to publish right away.
oh, no worries! i'm sure you had your reasons?
you were "just following orders"?
you were just doing what the authorities said?
because i seem to remember a whole pile of excuses that sounded an awful lot like that being rejected back in the late 40’s. ...
it is precisely BECAUSE following vicious, evil orders is so easy in times of fear and that humans break and bow to authority with such ease that there must be sharp penalties, reputational and otherwise for so doing.
otherwise, you're just greasing the rails for next time. ...
“we trusted them so what we did to you because of it is not our fault” is not a real excuse. this is the exact form of authority submission we must build systems to be robust to, not to excuse away.
what emily suggests seems to me to be a recipe for doing this all again. ...
getting a disease wrong is one thing, but presuming the coercive dispensation to take whatever your “conclusion” is (especially if you are “in the dark”) and force it upon the rest of us because it makes you feel less frightened (or perhaps allows you to savor the dark frisson of being beastly to others while telling yourself you’re a good person for doing it) is not something you get amnesty for.
"I'm not saying COVID's not real," said the woman in the video after CVS employees refused her service. "I'm just saying, I'm not sick. I'm not sick and asymptomatic spread has been shown to be a myth, so why am I going to be treated like a sick person?" …
"Do you know that there have been fewer deaths in [2020] than in [2019]? All they've done is recategorize all the deaths. This is not what they're telling us it is. It's a lie. This is a lie, I'm telling you. It's a lie and everyone's buying it. And it will go on and on and on as long as they feed us this lie and we comply with it, and I am done. Tonight, I've reached a breaking point, I'm done. I know I'm not reaching any of you in here, I don't care."

The Atlantic's trial balloon of amnesty has culminated in the trending hashtag "Nuremberg2"
Fines for the unvaccinated: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
House arrest: Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Imprisonment for questioning the vaccine: Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.
Forced quarantine: Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Stripping people of their children: Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That’s much more than twice the level of support in the rest of the electorate – seven percent (7%) of Republicans and 11% of unaffiliated voters – for such a policy.
Emily Oster: let's just forget this happened.
A quick review of the requisite disregards for a Plandemic Amnesty:
☑️ Killing millions in hospitals, especially the elderly who were alone and slaughtered with Fauci-approved Remdesivir.
☑️ Killing millions more with those toxic injections posing as medicine.
☑️ Killing babies in the womb with those toxic injections.
☑️ Potentially rendering younger generations infertile or sterile.
☑️ Locking down society and destroying livelihoods.
☑️ Coercing millions to be injected with this toxic shit while threatening their jobs, healthcare, and participation in society.
☑️ Closing schools, robbing children of two years of their lives, forcing masks, encouraging discrimination and harassment of those with common sense and functioning brains who saw this whole scam as just that.
The list of unforgivable crimes will remain so absolutely unforgivable barring mass trials followed by mass executions. Those who have been paying attention or have suffered from these crimes personally know exactly how unforgivable they are.
I’m sorry to be harsh but Professor Oster is nothing but a Covid-19 grifter who is actually advocating for Pandemic Amnesia, not Amnesty.
I know that quite some time has passed, but I think it’s important to remember some of the basic problems that brought us to this juncture.
Things We Should Never Forget
1: Lockdowns were Never Part of the Plan
The WHO and CDC had publicly available pandemic plans in place based on a century’s worth of experience.
Do you know what wasn’t in these plans? Widespread lockdowns and mask wearing.
Do you know what was in these plans but completely absent from the Covid response? Risk-benefit analyses and the consideration of ethical issues. ...
2: They Shut Down Access to Repurposed Drugs
The establishment not only shut down all debate about repurposed drugs (HCQ, Ivermectin), they also moved aggressively to even restrict access to such treatments under the supervision of your own doctor. ...
3: They Lied about the Nature of the Virus
They refused to acknowledge anything that was widely known to be true about the “novel” virus:
It behaves like other coronaviruses
There are significant numbers of asymptomatic cases
Pre-existing immunity exists (indicating T-Cell immunity)
Vaccines for respiratory viruses don’t provide sterilizing immunity, thus don’t stop transmission
Natural immunity is superior to vaccine immunity and long lasting ...
4: Vaccine Mandates
Mandating somebody to get vaccinated with an experimental mRNA vaccine for a respiratory virus that, depending on age/health, poses fairly little risk is unethical and an abuse. Add in the fact that the vaccines don’t offer sterilizing immunity and now there is also no community benefit from the vaccine.
These things were pretty clear early on. Any discussion about mandates should have ended when it became clear that vaccines don’t stop transmission. ...
5: The Stupid Post-Vaccine Mandates
For some unexplained reason, they thought it would make sense to keep vaccinated and non-vaccinated people separate after everyone who wanted the vaccine was able to get one. Again, this makes no sense if the vaccine doesn’t provide sterilizing immunity.
Remember when they said this was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”? They lied.
The correct action would have been to go back to normal. Instead they kept us on pandemic watch indefinitely while establishing no endpoint for ending measures. ...
6: The Vaccination of Children ...
7: School Lockdowns ...
Ben Shapiro has long been a promoter of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, telling his millions of followers that they were “dopes” if they decided against submitting themselves to the grand experiment.
On Tuesday, Shapiro admitted that, like many others, he had been lied to and deceived about the efficacy of the vaccines, particularly with regard to their ability to prevent viral transmission.
On Tuesday’s episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” Shapiro admitted, “It is now perfectly clear that we were lied to. And we were lied to at a very high level and from very, very early on by both the vaccine companies, in terms of the ability of the vaccine to prevent transmission, and … by our politicians who apparently knew better.” ...
Shapiro, who is also a lawyer by training, suggested that “there may need to be actual criminal prosecutions if you are disseminating false health information to people on the basis of zero evidence.”
Like YOU did, Ben Shapiro?
Like YOU did, Ben Shapiro?

And now they want "amnesty".
