The people who abused their power and imposed tyranny during the pandemic will do it again if we don’t hold them accountable.
He doesn’t exactly say who sinned, just that “We got things wrong,” and “Some officials made mistakes in the early days.” Things happened. Mistakes were made. It’s time to move on. Miller’s argument is basically a warmed-over, lightly Christianized version of the essay Brown University economics professor Emily Oster wrote for The Atlantic last November, which argued for a “pandemic amnesty” on account of how “uncertain” and “complicated” things were in the face of a once-in-a-century pandemic like Covid. The ruling class did its best, OK?
Oster’s piece elicited well-deserved scorn from many on the right, including our own Joy Pullmann, who noted that a genuine amnesty “requires an admission of guilt and a commitment to repairing the wrongs done.” The absence of such an admission and commitment to change, says Pullmann, is “an indication that you’re going to do it again,” and makes it impossible to rebuild trust.
Of course, the people responsible for shutting down the economy, closing schools and churches, destroying countless businesses, and condemning the elderly to die alone in their hospital rooms are not at all sorry about what they did. To this day, they don’t acknowledge any wrongdoing whatsoever. Certainly not Anthony Fauci, who in an April interview with The New York Times defiantly faulted ordinary Americans for failing to listen to him, the self-proclaimed embodiment of science.He doesn’t exactly say who sinned, just that “We got things wrong,” and “Some officials made mistakes in the early days...”

Do we include President Trump as among the sinners?
Even God requires repentance for forgiveness.
Trump got sucked in by the “experts”.
Trump was completely duped.
There was no such thing as “Operation Warp Speed.”
The drug companies had the virus and the “vaccines” ready to go for years before the plandemic.
One of these days he’s going to come around and lay it at Fauci’s feet where it belongs.
Trump was fighting the entire DC administrative state Swamp the entire time he was in office.
So he took a few dings and made a few. I DON’T CARE.
I have no doubt he loves America and the American people.
That means a lot more to me than your petty “gotchas!”
But "good intentions" had nothing to do with the SCAMdemic. The Swamp and the Lamestream media had to convince the public that the Black Death was sweeping across America in order to justify the no-excuse cheat-by-mail-in ballots that delivered the Steal to the Vegetable. There was no other way he could win. And the same thing was done to Kari Lake in 2022.
Thanks!

re:2
One has to ask for forgiveness and repent first.
For some there are no consequences for dupes and suckers
as long as they appear to love America.
Forgiveness is for G_d, not me.
Never forget what they did to you, your family, and your country
Do not forgive, ever.
Lampposts festooned with ropes should be all over America. Let them rot in the sun.
Trump was a believer in the "right to try" laws and thought that a rushed-through (warp speed) vaccine would be made available to people who wished to try it, presumably the elderly and people with comorbidities being among those who would try it.
But not the healthy -- not the rest of us -- and certainly not mandated upon us.

Trump was in over his head on Crisis Strategy.
Mike Pence was put in charge.
None. Crimes against humanity are not part of "oh, well, mistakes were made...."
And an act of contrition as proof, if I remember rightly.
The China Virus 2019 had a survivability rate of 99.7%
Medical Misadventure killed the rest.
No.
In case you forgot, he was ridiculed for not doing enough, not acting fast enough, downplaying Covid, willing to entertain alternative treatments, not mandating masks and questioning their effectiveness early on...
Trump was a target by those that caused the madness.
It’s one thing to push for a vaccine (Operation Warp-speed) and to offer help pay for the vaccine.
It’s an entirely other thing to MANDATE a vaccines use, mandate testing, mandate social distancing, violate your privacy rights, require old folk homes to take back positive tested folk... That crap was Biden and before the elections Shumer, Pelosi, jerks like Cuomo...
Trump was attacked: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-downplaying-virus-mocked-wearing-masks-months/story?id=73392694
Trump didn’t want half the crap which ensued. He was essentially pushed along by a media, bureaucracy and opposing party exploiting Covid for election gain.
Think of this. Had the elections been October 2019, who do you think would have won? Is there even a doubt?
The lowest unemployment in 50 years, low inflation, real net wage growth for the middle class, GDP growth exceeding all expectations...
Covid is what took away Trumps Royal Flush going into the elections, the economy.
***Trump was brought down with Covid.
***Pinning the Covid hysteria/madness on him now, would be the ultimate in irony.
Forgiveness? No, they’re to stand trial at Nuremberg II.
JP is Great...
Follow The SCIENCE!

Gravity and Ballistic Charts
are fairly trust Worthy.
This is the NYT’s trying to document how Trump is a bad guy not going along with the hysteria / madness and lists all his quotes that were heretical (how dare he disagree!) at the time: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-masks.html
Fauci (one of the real bad guys) and Trump had numerous disagreements that went public, and that too is easy to historically verify.
Pinning the Covid hysteria / madness on Trump today would be extremely unfair to Trump. It would be a dishonest argument. It would be taking one of the victims of this scam and making him into the culprit.
