The Atlantic has come under fire for suggesting that all the terrible pandemic-era decisions over lockdowns, school closures, masking, and punishing an entire class of people who questioned the efficacy and wisdom of taking a rushed, experimental vaccine - for a virus with a 99% survival rate in most, should all be water under the bridge.
"We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID," writes Brown Professor Emily Oster - a huge lockdown proponent, who now pleads from mercy from the once-shunned.
"Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward," she continues.
Except, they weren't “in the dark” about Covid. There were numerous sources pointing out the actual science that ran contrary to the mandate claims, and they were deliberately silenced by a vast media campaign. Evidence suggests that media platforms worked in tandem with Big Tech, the CDC and the Biden Administration. It was not a simple matter of overreaction, there was collusion to remove all counter-information.
Nice try, Emily. --->READ MORE HERE
I refuse to declare blanket amnesty for the pandemic. Yet that is what one opinion writer for The Atlantic believes should happen. Generously award blanket amnesty, move on, and don’t hold anyone accountable.
In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks. Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”
These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.
Oh honey, we knew a LOT by April. We knew even more by May of 2020. Wilful blindness and following the “experts” like sheep is ZERO excuse.
It may not have been evident to Emily and her family, but we for damned sure knew that the lockdowns continued past the entire “three weeks to flatten the curve” bullshit would bring harm far too many. And…they did. It wasn’t just the horrors of good people dying in nursing homes, or lone paddle boarders getting arrested WHILE on the ocean. Oh no, it was way more than that. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
