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?

I will never forget. The world is a far crueler place than I could have imagined, with people wishing you (including the potatus) death over Christmas last year. I think the hardest thing for me will be to find a way to convince my son that most people are simply ignorant/patsy/evil. I will have to break the news that is 1,000,000% worse than there is no Santa Claus. What should we tell our children about the evil that is continuing to be committed? I'm open to suggestions, because frankly I'm on the autism spectrum and can't do better than tell the truth as I know it.

Read them Aesop's parable about the wolf and the lamb. Explain that when people want to hurt you for their own profit, they first look for a way to blame you.

CORUSCANT — Acknowledging past decisions that, while well intended, were destructive, and learning a ragtag team of rebels might win again, the Galactic Empire has proposed amnesty for anyone who may have gotten a little carried away and blown up several planets.

"This is supposed to be a happy galaxy. Let's not bicker and argue about who annihilated whose planet," wrote Grand Moff Ardus Kaine in a guest opinion piece published by The Atlantic after polls showed destroying Alderaan just to get a politician to squeal did not sit well with the galaxy's citizens. "Oopsies happen. Forgive and forget, I always say."

Kaine expounded on the need to forgive those who were forced to decide to erase entire systems from the galactic map while not having all of the information available at the time. ...

kitten corner: the price of forgiveness
reparationing the rift

so, are there gonna be maybe reparations or something?

because otherwise i don’t think even “amnesty international” is gonna go for just forgiving this…

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten added to the outrage by voicing her support for The Atlantic’s calls for an “amnesty.”

Weingarten used her influence to ensure schools kept their doors closed to children during the pandemic.

She also forced mask mandates on children despite no scientific evidence to support masking policies.

Her actions led to disastrous consequences for students.
