No Amnesty

By now, you've surely heard of the "olive branch" that has been extended for "Pandemic Amnesty." Make no mistake, the only reason the Left wants "amnesty" is because they have been proven wrong in every aspect of the "pandemic."

The death rate was no different than a severe flu. 

The "vaccine" didn't prevent you from catching it. 

The "vaccine" didn't lessen the severity of it. 

The "vaccine" didn't prevent you from passing it on. 

The "vaccine" didn't reduce your likelihood of death. 

The "vaccine" had all of the negative side effects warned by the "conspiracy theorists" and worse. 

The lockdowns didn't work. 

Social Distancing didn't work. 

Masks sure as Hell didn't work. 

They closed your church and schools.

They took your job. 

They made you cancel family gatherings, funerals, and even visiting loved ones in hospitals. 

Now, they simply don't want to be held accountable for all of these failures. 

Below is a series of quotes from the article and a short remark:

There is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long. 

Yes -and we told you that in 2020!

When the vaccines came out, we lacked definitive data on the relative efficacies of the Johnson & Johnson shot versus the mRNA options from Pfizer and Moderna. ... This misstep wasn’t nefarious. It was the result of uncertainty.

None of them worked... at all! Stop pretending any of them did anything other than hurt people! 

Misinformation was, and remains, a huge problem. But most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.

NO! Fauci and the "scientists" were following the money!

Given the amount of uncertainty, almost every position was taken on every topic. And on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong. In some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons. In other instances, they had a prescient understanding of the available information.

We weren't "right for the wrong reasons," nor did we have "a prescient understanding of the available information" - we have critical thinking skills... and we tried warning you! 

The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat. Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. All of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of social energy and to drive the culture wars, especially on the internet. These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive.

When your side loses, which is often, they don't know how to handle it. Hell, they don't know how to handle much of reality. 

The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well. 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.

Let's acknowledge that freedom is the only effective choice.
