That’s the difference between an apology and atonement - an apology makes you feel better and does nothing of substance for the victims. Atonement is making it as right as possible (lots of money in this case), is uncomfortable for the atoner and has some real value to the victim.

OK, let’s determine the parties that should atone.
Here are some of them IMHO:
1) The city of New London
2) Pfizer
3) The Federal Government via the 5 idiotic members of the Supreme Court.
