Now the Disgraced COVID 'Experts' Want 'Amnesty'?
American Thinker ^ | 3 Nov, 2022 | Tanya Berlaga

Posted on 11/03/2022 5:16:56 AM PDT by MtnClimber

A real doozy of an article in The Atlantic begs for mercy.

In her recent article in The Atlantic, a Brown University professor, Emily Oster, is calling for "pandemic amnesty." She is telling me to "forgive and forget" everyone who was yelling obscenities at me for not wearing a mask in a public park or calling me a mass murderer for posting a picture with a friend visiting. I must forget all this, the author insists, because all those people had nothing but my well-being in mind!

The author admits that many (if not most!) measures imposed on us by "the experts" were harmful and destructive. But "dwelling on those mistakes" is "counter-productive." After all, people who made these mistakes had only good intentions.

"As we now know," the author concedes, cloth masks are practically useless. People who got vaccinated spread COVID as easily as those who did not. Keeping children locked up at homes had disastrous consequences on their development. And some of the COVID "mitigation" measures — like beach closures in California — were outright dumb. But let's not "dwell" on them — because those were "complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty."

"We didn't know!" the author laments.

After three years of living through the pandemic, the author all but admits that "the experts" were just as clueless about how to approach it as your next-door neighbor. "The experts" did not know even the most obvious things.

They didn't know that wearing a dirty piece of cloth over your face would not amount to anything other than a sinus infection. Seemed like even a third-grader could've figured that one out — and many did.

They didn't know that walking on the beach was the safest activity one could do during a pandemic.

They also knew very early on that OBESITY and all the comorbidities related to obesity - hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes - were the second most critical risk factor leading to severe illness and/or death.

And yet, I could never get an answer to a simple question. If hypertension is a comorbidity, is it only when uncontrolled?

Big Pharma made sure the government gave them total immunity and the dumbass ‘experts,’ politicians in state and local government, medical professionals and institutions backed all that (dissembling, lies, misinformation, disinformation and suppressed information) up like a bunch of little lickspittle puppies and they cry “amnesty” and “sanctuary.”

No. Not no, but HELL no. They all need to be made to pay. DEARLY. And, the ones who knowingly abetted this vaccine travesty despite the suppressed warnings and tests need to go to prison, period.

“Apology not accepted. There must be criminal proceedings.”

What apology are you referring to?

I haven’t heard an apology from anyone, nor do I expect to.

Being a leftist/statist means never having to say you’re sorry.

They're catching up with the U.S.

We haven't had "prerequisites" for entering our country since Biden took office, unless of course, you try to do it legally.

The article neglected to include healthcare workers in the list of groups that lost their jobs for refusing the vax. My sister is in that group. (I was one of the “lucky” ones. My exemption was approved - I just have to fill out a questionnaire each morning, attesting that I have no symptoms. And it looks that that’s going continue forever, since I see no sign that CMS is going to reverse THEIR mandate. But at least I have a job. And unsullied blood.)

_______________________________________________________

The article also didn’t mention all those people whose formerly unsullied blood may now be sullied not through their own choice, such as my aunt, who was smart enough to not get vaxxed but had to get a transfusion a couple of months ago due to an injury.

I am glad for you that you still have your job and hope that you and the rest of us unsullied ones can remain so. Stay safe. Think carefully before you do certain ordinary things, such as getting up on a ladder to hang Christmas lights. Is it really worth the risk?

Andrew Tate was banned from social media platforms because he publicly shared that all these countries allowed corporate jets to fly in and out without masks or presenting documents showing the travelers had received the Jim Jones Jab. He knew because he did it regularly.

These governments violated "common" travelers while ignoring the wealthy. It was never about health or safety. Nuremberg II for all of them.

They want forgiveness AND amnesty? As a Christian, I am working on the forgiveness BUT forgiveness DOES NOT include amnesty. Amnesty is EARNED through the repentance process. Toward that end, how do you make up for a lost life? A broken life? Stolen lifetime earnings? Lost education opportunities? The blood of much of mankind cries out to the Lord for Justice and you MUST pay the price as I doubt the Savior will.

Forgiveness does not make what you have done to mankind right. You lied, deceived, forced, defamed, shamed by any and all means dishonest to make us do your will. Now we will unfortunately pay the price of your desires to use us as “Lab Rats”. The price? Death if we are lucky, in many cases; permanent disabilities if we are unlucky; there are reports of mothers passing on the “medicine” to their newborn children; and reports of blood transfusions passing it on as well.

I must stop here now as this has revived my utter hate of you and what you’ve done and now, I must struggle to find it in me to forgive you.

Again.

Yep, and in fact the normalization of obesity continues apace. Covid should have sparked a serious national conversation about the obesity problem, but of course that sort of thing doesn’t happen in Clown World.

There is such a long list it’s hard to prioritize, but I’d start with the NIH and NIAID for funding foreign bio research, the Collins and Fauci, the CDC for its lock-step POLITICAL submission, the FDA, Bill Gates funded Washington University IHME for their ‘scare’ predictions, all the Democrat Governors who intentionally exposed our most vulnerable by interning them in ill-equipped nursing homes, ‘vaccine’ producers, and then start in on the rest of the vaxx sheep tyrants.

They are getting nervous because they’re about to lose a willing supporter of their madness - the US Congress.

Indeed. It was/is about power and control and gauging your willingness to submit to authority.
