Surber: Kovidians want amnesty
2022-11-03
[DonSurber] Now that the truth is out about covid, those smug and self-righteous pushers of vaccines that did not vaccinate and masks that didn't work are demanding we just forget about the whole thing.

Emily Oster of The Atlantic wants to declare Pandemic Amnesty, which would forgive her and the rest of the Faucists who cheered the use of the power of the state to shut down the economy and force people to take shots or lose their jobs.

She wrote, "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.

"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. In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing. Treating pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others is preventing us from moving forward."

Heated up?

Every one of those mocking chimps on late-night TV mocked the hell out of those who dared question authority.

#6  No Amnesty.
Move to Brazil, they have no extradition so the Kovidians can retire safe there. They also have a new socialist government so they can live the dream.

#4  Britannica:

Amnesty is granted usually for political crimes against the state, such as treason, sedition, or rebellion. It is addressed generally to classes or communities and takes the form of a legislative act or other constitutional or statutory act of the supreme power of the state.

Fuck You again.
