The Atlantic is Asking for "Pandemic Amnesty" and Forgiveness
A new Shift in Public Discourse

Wow. The Atlantic has a
front-page article (
archive link) by Prof. Emily Oster, asking for “Pandemic Amnesty”.
How interesting. The Atlantic is one of the most forward-looking and yet curated publications and they do not publish rubbish and random musings. And now they have a prominent author asking for “amnesty” and forgiveness.
Nobody is asking for amnesty for good deeds, right?
The article rambles and weaves to avoid mentioning anything specific as to who and what the amnesty would be FOR. What are the specific misdeeds that The Atlantic wants to be forgiven? Emily’s article is NOT clear.
It talks, strangely, about people voluntarily wearing masks in foreign preserves:
~Snip~
The author surely did not publish this Atlantic article out of honest-to-goodness concern for the nebulous advocates of “bleach injections”. She wants some other acts — and some other players — to be forgiven instead. Prof. Oster is coy about who those people are.
I am sure that she is asking for amnesty for our “Covid response leaders”.
She published her article, before the midterms, because she is concerned about disappointed people starting to ask questions. Questions, such as
- Why is my vaccine not working for me?
- Why was I/my friend/my coworker injured by the vaccine and ignored by the medical community?
- Why am I sicker than before?
- Why am I having multiple Covid infections after being vaccinated?
- I was told that my vaccines “stop transmission”, whereas the authorities knew they don’t
- Why did unaccountable private interests take over the entirety of public response?
- Why did the above private interests make billions of dollars, while my business went bankrupt?
- Why was I lied to by the TV and media, while the truth was suppressed by Internet giants profiting from the pandemic?
~Snip~
Is it possible that everyone acted in our best interests and that the mistakes were unintentional?
Are the people asking for amnesty confused well-wishers, or are they Covid Criminals who poisoned millions through malice, greed, and reckless disregard for safety? We’d need to know what happened, first, to have the answer!
Only after an investigation that uncovers what transpired, will we be able to judge whether an “amnesty” is appropriate and if so, for whom. Not before.
If such an investigation uncovers crimes, such as violation of national laws or
crimes against humanity, then I hope that legally convened courts will be able to assess legally appropriate sanctions against individuals involved.
Should some of those people be amnestied? It is a legitimate question that needs to be addressed — but only
after we know what happened.
Commentary:
There's a legal concept called "Criminal negligence." That happens when a person is so profoundly ignorant that it causes harm in others due to their inactions. I.e. being very stupid has a cost. Their lack of doing their own research is criminal. Thus criminal negligence.
The beginnings of asking for mercy.
Forgiveness and repentance go hand in hand. Atonement and retribution are further considerations. Does she offer to atone? No. Oster claims we need to "forgive one another." Unadulterated bull crap. There was only one vicious, cunning, fear precipitating, economy and societal shattering narrative coupled to the orchestrated drive to jab everyone.
She's trying to manufacture an Orwellian memory hole.
Like the Jan 6th persecuted, until there is amnesty there shouldn't be amnesty for those that perpetrated the Covid hoax. Prosecute every single person involved that deceived the public about the Covid virus and the “vaccine.” Prosecute every politician involved in the lockdowns, the vax mandates and the mask mandates
Then throw them all to the crowd.
