Fifteen days to slow the spread turned into, please forget we stripped you of your human dignity.
Brown University economist Emily Oster’s recent Atlantic article asks for amnesty for the people who brutally attempted to subjugate Americans with vaccine and mask mandates, lockdowns, and social distancing idiocy on the grounds: “We didn’t know.”
She claimed that during the height of the Covid insanity, “most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.”
No, Ms. Oster, they weren’t.
Most decisions were made by people, like flight attendants and front desk clerks, whose normal job gave them extraordinary gatekeeping powers, which they used to kick families off flights and deny Americans with disabilities public services.
Government officials, doctors, and celebrities instructed their followers to cut ties with relatives who refused to wear masks or take the vaccine. And they listened. Uncles were uninvited from meeting their nephews, parents disowned their children, and grandparents died alone in nursing homes.
They threw decades of medical knowledge out the window and replaced it with political propaganda, like proposing people double-mask, closing elementary schools, and dropping patients from the organ donor list.
To her credit, Oster is herself in a position to issue forgiveness. She was one of the few voices in the center-left mainstream using data to push back against some Covid measures for children at the time, and she too suffered vitriol as a result of her clearly justified dissent.

They wanted to ruin your life and make it impossible to keep your job, see your family, travel, and get healthcare, but now, because kids can’t read and a bloodbath awaits the Democrats in the midterms, they want amnesty for brutally enforcing the regime’s Covid mandates.
Americans excel at many things, but we have never been good at forgiving tyrants.
Nor should we be. People suffered real, tangible loss over the past two years when civil liberties were discarded by Covid thugs serving their despotic rulers. The American way of life demands justice and accountability from those who caused the harm.
