It is very hard to read Emily Oster’s “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty” article published on Halloween in The Atlantic without getting angry. To give her credit, she is the only Covidian who admits having been wrong regarding the covid fiasco at a time when some Covidians are even now insisting on face masks and additional “vaccines.” And, again unlike other Covidians, she also admits that face masks were useless, that the virus was not transmitted in the open air, that closing schools was detrimental and pointless, and questions the efficacy of the “vaccines.”
“But the thing is: We didn’t know,” she writes.
So, wouldn’t it be nice if we just moved on and not think about what happened? Nor hold people accountable?
No.
Oster is being disingenuous.
We did know.
Many of us, from the beginning, realized that something didn’t jive. Something just didn’t make sense. In April 2020, I wrote that the Diamond Princess cruise ship had been quarantined for many days because some of the passengers had contracted the Wuhan virus. Most of the 3711 passengers were geriatrics (not counting the crew). The cruise ship should have been a floating coffin, yet only 7 died.
As time progressed, everything the Covidians and the media and the politicians said was “disinformation” turned out to be accurate, and every recommendation, every assurance, every mandate, every cure they insisted on were not only worthless, but dangerous, even fatal.
The Covidians were impervious to logic, and when it came to facts, their brains were coated with Teflon—nothing would stick, nothing that contradicted their obsession. We were telling them again and again and they refused to even listen, feeling very self-righteous. They called us racists and Nazis and science deniers and white supremacists and every cliché that liberals automatically spit out in a knee jerk fashion against people who think for themselves, who are courageous, who will not instantly conform, who will not obey unquestioningly. We were insulted. We were assaulted.
Our basic freedoms were violated by politicians absolutely drunk with power, who did not adhere to their own lockdowns and face mask mandates, who insulted those of us who questioned their actions and their reasoning and who sent police to intimidate and attack us. These are politicians who shoved infected individuals in dwellings where the most vulnerable lived, resulting in thousands of deaths. In Australia, politicians even set up concentration camps and had the police brutalize dissidents. They closed schools and businesses down, resulting in a drastic loss in income while they themselves kept getting a regular paycheck. They forbade weddings, proms, graduation ceremonies, dances, attending the Olympics, vacation trips, churches and synagogues as being “superspreaders” (which was false). We were prevented from being with loved ones at their time of death and they died alone.
The “vaccine” was never a vaccine, it was an experimental drug. A true vaccine is the introduction of an inert form of bacteria or virus into the body for the immune system to naturally build up antibodies to that disease. The covid “vaccine” uses a different experimental approach altogether, called gene therapy, using mRNA.
A regular vaccine takes years to develop and, equally important, rigorous testing through Phase I, Phase II and Phase III trials. People who refused to submit knew this. And they remembered the thalidomide and cisapride (Propulsid) tragedies. None of the faux vaccines went through this process.
Ironically, these faux vaccines did not prevent infection or transmission of the covid virus. Numerous people got four injections and still got covid. Worst of all, m-RNA “vaccines” caused Bell’s palsy, blood clots, childhood dementia, syncope, myocarditis, menstrual alterations and outright fatalities, particularly in young athletes.
Some advocates of the “vaccines” collapsed before cameras while touting their benefit.
Yet, doctors and hospitals refused to treat patients who were not vaccinated and even refused to consider alternate, proven, treatments to patients with covid. As for those nurses and doctors who rebelled, they were persecuted—and still are.
Incidentally, the CDC admitted to have lied to the public.
And now, we are asked to forget about it and not hold any of them accountable. These same politicians are still around, these same journalists are still suppressing facts, these murderous pharmaceutical executives are counting their money in their mansions, and these equally murderous politicians who killed thousands of the elderly are seeking reelection or looking for another gig.
And we are expected to forget what they did to us “and just move on?”
I don’t think so.

Time to end all this stuff and get back to normal

Those who took the shots and openly wished the deaths of those who wouldn’t are dropping, and so few politicians and officials are it makes me suspicious they got saline.

The thing that would have slowed the spread of convid was to stop flights from China.
President Trump tried this and the woke world went hysterical as usual.
They are now, here in the U.K., combining the mRNA injections with the flu vaccine, untested combination but once again the powerful in the NHS created hysteria by claiming that there is a shortage of mRNA injections. This caused the sheep to form a line.
The root cause of it all is the U.N. owned World Health Organization that created the virus.
JUSTICE FOR VACCINE VICTIMS
No we will NOT just forgive and forget evil.

The photograph is enough evidence for any thinking human being to know that the woke hysteria was/is WRONG.

Something I have never seen mentioned.
Blood transfusions….
Is Vaxxed blood identified when donated?
I am pureblood. Me thinks we need a pureblood registry.
Beware!

No they are not labeling blood Beware of vaxxed blood if you need a transfusions

Congrees needsto have serious pversignt hearings of all administrative agencies that were responsible for what happened dufring the lockdown
Bruce says
Congress is part of the problem.
What you need is to have some of the perpetrators sued out of existence.
Pfizer still hiding behind its Emergency Use Authorization, otherwise they
would be sued out of existence for all the tragedy they’ve visited on the
populace.
Employers that fired people need to pay dearly to those they unfairly
and illegally discriminated against.
Coumo as NY governor should be up on negligent (or not so negligent)
homicide charges.

““But the thing is: We didn’t know,” she writes.” by Emily Oster This Leftist wants to be absolved of guilt with no connection to her conscience. Her continual denial of truth allows her easier trespass now and in the future. How can Oster ask for amnesty when she is not repentant or describes what she is sorry for. As far as I am concerned amnesty, forgiveness comes when sincere repentance is offered.
It was written by someone, “In order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems, they have to pretend not to know a lot of things…” Which Emily and scientists at the Nuremberg trials are stating. “We didn’t know”. Shame on Oster.

Amnesty? No.
I won’t ask for reparations for the physical and social ills we still suffer, But an amnesty for the propagandists and name-callers during the Era of Stupid? No.
DoRightNotWrong says
Pandemic amnesty is more of the psychopathic authorities’ typical screwing with the public’s mind, for THEIR benefits, of course. Nothing else.
First the psychopaths PLAN and execute a holocaustal operation called Covid-19 THEN they want to be acquitted of any wrongdoing. This criminal game is one of the key traits of psychopaths when they should be in prison lifelong.
But .. 99% of people STILL have NO clue that psychopaths are the leaders of all governments because most people prefer being asleep than awake to reality — read “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” … https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html
Why do you think not a single responsible psychopathic authority ended up in jail for their planned 2008 criminal economic collapse operation that destroyed the lives of millions of people around the world? NOW you know as you just learned a key lesson on psychopaths.

It’s like the old joke about the guy who murdered his parents and then begged the court to show him mercy… because he was now an orphan.
Emily Oster’s gaslighting isn’t fooling anyone. Not even Emily Oster.
Here are some quotes from her interview last week (7/nov) with far-left NPR, relating to the tremendous backlash to her ‘amnesty’ idea:
NPR:
“You’ve published this essay that’s calling for grace, that’s calling for forgiveness, and it’s got people all riled up again, writing and tweeting that it’s the wrong message, that we can’t just get over it.”
Oster’s answer, in part:
“I’ve particularly heard in the last few days, people who say, you know, I want accountability. I want to be able to have an apology. And there probably is space for some of that….”
Only she gave an apology with one hand and took it back with another:
“I think there was misinformation on both sides, actually, that does not deserve amnesty, that needs accountability.”
You’re the one who opened this box, lady.
The accountability starts with those who started this mess: CDC / FDA / WHO et al.
