The Atlantic: Say, Now That It's Known That the Institutional Left and Media and Democrat Party Got Nearly Everything Wrong on Covid, Isn't It Time to "Move On" and Stop This Petty Small-Minded Squabbling About Who Was Right and Who Was Wrong?

They'll never forgive us for what they did to everyone.

RAW EGG NATIONALIST
@Babygravy9

"For 2 years, with the full backing of the state and media, we ridiculed you and called you a stupid, immoral enemy of your fellow citizens. We said you should live out your days as a 2nd-class citizen, maybe in a camp. Now you have to forgive us, whether you like it or not."

Emily Oster at the Atlantic wants an amnesty for the people who spread covid misinformation negligently -- meaning, the government, the Democrats, and the media.

But she doesn't want an amnesty for people who spread misinformation willfully -- by which she mean people on the right and people who pushed back against covid lunancy.

How very convenient.


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.

You didn't know, but you all claimed you knew with 100% perfect knowledge, to such an extreme degree of certainty that it justified censoring and deplatforming anyone who disagreed with you, and firing them, and closing their bank accounts, etc.

But you "didn't know," you say now?


...

Some of these choices turned out better than others. To take an example close to my own work, there is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students' well-being and educational progress were high. The latest figures on learning loss are alarming. But in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people--people who cared about children and teachers--advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.

Oh they "advocated"? They screamed at people that they were murderers and pressured employers to fire them for merely speaking up?

That's "advocacy" now, huh?

...

Obviously some people intended to mislead and made wildly irresponsible claims. Remember when the public-health community had to spend a lot of time and resources urging Americans not to inject themselves with bleach? That was bad.

It was also a lie. Trump never suggested drinking bleach, as even leftwing media fact-checkers were forced to admit. He suggested using bleach for a very sound purpose: Disinfecting surfaces where covid might persist.

It was the media, not Trump, that began claiming that he had said people should "drink bleach."

Oh, and Democrats, of course. But I think I included them when I said "the media."

But I suppose your lie about that is something else we're to have an "amnesty" about, huh?

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

I emphatically disagree. Most errors were made by people engaging in Competitive Bidding to push covid fanaticism into places where reasonable people -- like the Republican Administration then in charge of the Executive -- simply could not follow.

This was 90% about laying the groundwork to push Trump out office. Did Trump say he was okay with masks? Okay then -- we're now pushing Two masks. Or three masks.

Did Trump say he's okay with six feet of social distancing? Okay, let's move the goalposts -- ten feet of social distancing.

Whatever covid mitigation policies Trump signed on to -- which were already anti-scientific and essentially bureaucratic voodoo -- the left had to demand an even greater ask because you can't say Trump is Murdering People if he just does what you ask him to do. You need him to refuse to do what you demand of him, which means you are obligated to continually escalate your absurd demands until they are simply impossible to comply with.

And of course, there was an absolute ton of Virtue Signaling -- "I Believe In 'Science'" -- and a lot of hysteria from neurotic leftist women (and effeminate men) prone to gales of hysteria already, and the need to cultivate their hysterias for political gain.


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.

How often were "The Experts" who claimed to always be right proven right?

Like... 15% of the time

In some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons.

You mean Republicans -- they just got "lucky." They advocated policies for Evil Selfish Reasons but then just happened to turn out to be right.

Whereas the Liberals advocated policies for Good Selfless Reasons, all based on The Science (TM), but darn it, they just kept turning out to be wrong! Oh fiddlesticks!


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.

I don't remember the left ever permitting the right to get off scot-free for the Iraq misadventure. And the left is still running on the claim that the 2020 Election Denial is the worst thing ever.

Tell me, Emily, do you also propose an amnesty, a Let's Just Call It a Draw on that, or do you intend for the left to continue lashing the right for as long as it is politcally useful to do so?

(Which, by the way, it stopped being about six months ago.)

Once again, it's only the right which is expected to not claim a victory on the facts that it earned, at no small cost -- we've had to pay the cost of being right with vitriol, harassment, censorship, punishment from all the financial institutions the left has wrangled into enforcing it collective political will, etc.

The right suffered for being right -- but we're supposed to just say, "And the left was equally right, in its own way."

Go fuck yourselves in the heart with a knife.

These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive.

The same could be said of the January 6th committee but full steam ahead there, huh?

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.


We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge.

Once again -- some purveyors of willful disinformation, like Randi Weingartner and Anthony Fauci, will be absolved, but others -- like Trump, who never claimed that people should drink bleach -- will be forever stained with a lie made up by the left.

We will not "move on" until we have had a strict account of who got what right, and who got what wrong.

It's called a reckoning. It's called a final weighing in the balance. It's called a political accounting.

We cannot go into the future trusting the same "experts" who gave us such terrible "expert" opinions in the past -- and told us that their "expertise" was so beyond question that anyone challenging it must be censored, deplatformed, and de-banked.

After a great public controversy, the public is owed an accounting of who got it right, and who got it wrong. And who covered up the obvious truth, such as covid being created in a lab, and Anthony Fauci having funded it, and then used his influence with the media, and as the man controlling government research grants, to smear and defame anyone who spoke the truth about this.

Instead, the left wants -- get this -- Participation Trophies for everyone.

You selfishly, insanely inflicted two years of irrecoverable developmental delay on tens of millions of children, but hey...


Alex Berenson linked some old stories showing why we cannot just "call it a draw:"

livingwills.jpg

paddleboatarrested.jpg

Backyard gardening is of course the safest hobby one can engage in. Not only is it conducted only with close family members or completely alone, but any food you produce reduces your need to go to the market.

So of course Governor Whitman made it illegal to buy seeds. Gotta protect Amazon and WalMart.

seendsarenonessential.jpg

Here's another example of why we must not forgive until those in need of forgiveness first admit they are in need of it:

If they are never made to confront and confess their errors, they will keep making them forever.

Like Kathleen Parker. Who demands, at this late date, that we all mask up again, for her psychological safety.

kathleenparker.jpg

This Sentient UTI, this Vaginosis Given Form and Flesh Kathleen Parker caught covid and because the entire world seemingly revolves around the trivial quotidian dramas and terrors of sexless, graceless, childless leftwing women who aged out of middle age when Seinfeld was still on the air, we all now have to put our masks on again.

Should we all just "call it a draw" with the Kathleen Parkers of the Democrat Party? The crazed cat-lady Karens, low-value and low-status women who thirst to exert control over everyone around them, and do so by shrieking until the Democrat Party sees a demographic complaint it can satisfy and exploit and begins encoding their hysterias into positive law?

Should we just keep Turnkey Fascism in place so they can do this all again next time, the next time a Fauci Special escapes from a lab?

No, we won't be doing that, Emily.

Never Again, Emily.

Never Again.

And if we have to hurt the feelings and bruise the egos of you and your Cat-Lady psychopath friends to make sure this can never happen again... so much the better.

I will never forget Dr. Guy P. Benson, M.D., Ph.D., shrieking "WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING?!" after one Trump statement (or statement by his panel of covid idiots).

Sad little bitches like Guy (and AllahPundit) became Instant Twitter Experts within literally days of the covid outbreak.

Posted by: ace at October 31, 2022

Odds that I will be forgiving and forgetting that? Zero point zero zero zero zero percent chance.

Have either of those assholes admitted a speck of error yet? Or are they still "Emily Oster-ing" their way through this?

Trump talked about using UV as a surface disinfectant. He also mentioned as a hypothetical possibility that it would be great if we could do the same internally, such as in the lungs.

The left turned that into drinking bleach, meanwhile, there was actual therapies being developed - however immature at the time - to do exactly as Trump was talking about in a hypothetical sense.

89 Amnesty requires a degree of innocence.

They have none: It was a willful, intentional destruction of all laws, norms and procedures to illegally force ineffective and useless measures solely for the purpose of compliance, not health and not safety.

They robbed a bank, shot the security guard, raped a teller and now act like they deserve amnesty because "we only stole $500!"

We knew they were lying when protesting in the streets was more important than Covid 19 and going to church wasn't.

And the one-up-Trump thing is absolutely real. We should have had a Summer of Sun rather than a Summer of Rage, but one would have helped people be healthy and help "herd immunity" be reached while protecting the elderly and unhealthy. But that would have made Trump look good.

So it was what it was, but it wasn't LUCK to figure out that the official information was lies.

People were locked into their homes and denied education and livelihood. People were not allowed to sit at the bedside of loved ones in the hospital, to be at funerals and weddings.

Sleuths on Twitter including Berenson have gotten ahold of documents that proved they knew right from the jump where the virus came from and they worked together to push the lie of the wet market and made sure that anyone in the medical community who went against them was punished.

And Fauci worked to take down Trump by working with the media whenever he could to make Trump look bad.

Fuck him. No amnesty. Prison.

Nah, there's mountains of the stuff. It's cheap to make, which was one part of the problem. The other problem was the need for an emergency declaration to justify fast tracking the "vaccines" and most importantly blocking any legal liability.

If there's a conventional treatment, even off label, it would negate the liability shield through mitigating said emergency.

Well, we already know what the media's response would be, there was a pandemic in 2008 - 2009, the media didn't even deign to ask the scomf a single question about it till there were over 1000 recorded deaths, and then he hand waved away saying he would appoint a task force to monitor the situation and the media said that was good enough for them.

251 It is going to take like 10 years for people to get back to normal.

Culturally, lock downs ruined how we look at work. Very little work happened during Covid for large swaths of the economy, it was a 1-2 year vacation. People got used to that and still want it.

Then you have our fiscal problems, and I can't give Trump a pass on that, he was outbidding everyone on Covid relief to try and get re-elected. PPP was maybe the single worst economic act we passed in 100+ years.

But there'd be people on bikes with masks, walking in the air with masks, driving alone in their car with masks. There was one person I'd drive past on my commute home and after her being gone for months I saw her again, riding her three-wheel bike with it's basket on her commute home, down an entirely vacant sidewalk, no person in sight, with a mask on her face.

I was very pro-vax before Covid, now I think I'm done with any and all vaccinations. If they can't call out the Covid vaccine for complications, they would also "bury" and adverse effects for all the others.

As I posted a couple of weeks ago the huge University of Michigan Medical School and hospital/doctors offices are under complete mask mandates from their administration. You cannot get past the entrance without donning a surgical mask after answering questions about Covid exposure. You have to wear one regardless of what kind of test your taking, including stress tests that require treadmill exercise. It’s insane still.

So true. I don't like to think of myself as a kook weirdo, but if your doctor requires a mask, how can you trust them for other advice/treatment? I see two specialists every year and neither requires a mask. My primary doctor requires a mask. This bothers me.

There is a psychology study where the mark in the group chooses the wrong option when all the other "testees" choose the obvious wrong choice.
That was what masks were, a command for everyone to agree this was the worst thing evar because everyone said so, see? They wear the mask!

No matter that they can't get groceries, a haircut, go to the dentist, the clinic or to the dog park without it.

I spent more time with him when he was in the hospital for pneumonia for a week when I could sit by his bed, then I did for all the other time he spent in his nursing home because the rules are that . . . nonsensical.

Many of the ODs are "good kids" who dabbled. Go to any fancy suburban HS or prep school and they'll likely have a graduate who died.

436 Of course she's wrong.
The CDC had influenza pandemic guidance published in late 2019 on its own website that stated:
1) Masks don't work.
2) Travel bans don't work
3) Shutting down schools were a last resort basically if every single teacher & student was sick anyway.
4) Lockdowns don't work.

But they threw that all out the window in 2020 for a very flu-like respiratory virus so that they could get rid of Trump. As China dictated to Fraudci and other key bureaucrats they bought long ago for insurance.

I know personally of a number of deaths caused by a "mystery" illness on the West Coast in the last 3 months of 2019, a good while before the virus was "officially" discovered. The symptoms were identical to the Wuhan Flu symptoms.

You're forgiven immediately. Your performance of the prescribed penance is because you want to do so, but you're forgiven even if you don't perform the penance. And it's recommended to give a penance that can be done in church. I got a Rosary after being lapsed for 30+ years.

478 Fvck your selfish attempt at seeking absolution all you mewling fearmongers. And this is why:

This is from pg 462 The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History by John M. Berry.

"In 1918 the lies of officials and of the press prevented the terror from becoming concrete. The public could trust nothing and so they knew nothing. And this terror prevented one woman from caring for her sister, prevented volunteers from bringing food to families too ill to feed themselves and who then starved to death, prevented trained nurses from responding to the most urgent calls for their services. The fear, not the disease, threatened to break the society apart. As Victor Vaughn - a man who did not overstate to make a point - warned, "Civilization could have disappeared within a few more weeks."

Utter nonsense. Every "mitigation" measure was either long known to be useless, or very very quickly proven to be irrelevant. From the first weeks, data scientists were documenting how there was no correlation between case numbers and any/all "policies", anywhere. Which was utterly unsurprising, as it tracked with what was long known.

Many of these rational voices were actually on the twatters, that's how they got their word out. I'd bring select issues here to discuss, but as far as I can recall, there was always some squirrel to chase (China!!! lab origins!!!) which was irrelevant to the big immediate urgent issue - ending all the "policies" and getting back to normal, with a very bad influenza season as background (the reality).

Thalidomide is a wonder drug; it's so useful, it's still used today (under stringent controls, of course). No one knew about its teratogenic properties at the time.

Also, while the FDA crows about keeping it out of America, they only kept it out because they were so inefficient. By the time they were ready to approve it, the first reports of teratogenicity were coming out of Europe.

They published a meta-study they had funded, which (surprise!) merely confirmed *decades of actual scientific research dating back to the 1940s* showing no benefit from masks in preventing spread of ILIs. There was one (very suspect) tiny little caveat pretending that N95s properly fit/worn in a clinical setting (all of that) had *some* benefit.

May 2020. The same time the repugnant POS Fauci changed their "guidance". Based on ...... nothing, of course. Oh, the obese dumbshit Redfield later 1) just wanted to test to see how stupid Americans are, and how collapsed the scientific/medical community was, or 2) actually believed, that some lame anecdote from a hair salon in MO was the basis for the guidance.

The woman who isn't a feminist? Will fight the Nazis and they're horrible plans for hearth and home and family.

635 Sure, perhaps "natural" agriculture can only support 2 billion (Depending on what you mean by natural, I really don't believe that's true). Given the two options, with an excluded middle, of "Abandon natural agriculture" and "Murder 6 billion people"... it's telling which option the lunatics choose.

645 world population in 1800 was about a billion, that is when, with more modern techniques plus the end of the Dalton minimum allowed greater crops and population growth in Europe. Ending things like the corn tax in England also helped since agricultural famines tend to be localized and food can be brought in from abroad.

Video inside his car showed the impact, Dale barely moved. Then an explosion then something shot into the head area. I think he was decapitated, which is why the headrests have neck protection that extends out beyond the throat.

661 @656 stu-mick-o-sucks-With the exception of NASCAR and other forms of late model stock car racing series in the United States, Indy Car and other forms of auto racing around the world were mandating drivers wear neck/head restraining devices(Hans, etc) because of the rash of basilar skull fractures at the time that, yes, left a lot of these drivers heads only being held up by their skin. "Decapitated".
There was no video of Earnhardt's body during the crash. The in car camera only caught the view of the driver, not of the driver. That crash did not look as violent as some but it was hard enough to do what it did to a man that had not long before had surgery on his neck due to injury from wrecks in stock cars.

The CDC still had studies up showing how masks didn't stop the flu virus.

The knowledge on masks was out there for just about everyone to see. Maybe May, but no later than that.

663 None of this is an apology. None of this is remotely close to an acknowledgment that “one side” was wildly wrong and used every opportunity to wreck lives, livelihoods, and small businesses. None of this remembers the tyranny of arbitrary and capricious “regulations” and edicts against churches, while excusing and even encouraging BLM riots.

I remember. I remember how my job and my credentials to do my job were threatened when I did not comply. I remember the explicit, specific threats made long after we knew it wasn’t anything like they said. I remember being told that this wasn’t a hill to die on, to do as I was told or I would be fired and unemployable. Nah, you can try to memory hole what you did to us, but I’m not forgetting anytime soon.

667 Remember this:
The economy was going great. Presidential elections have historically turned on the condition of the economy.

The Covid panic was created and nurtured by Democratic governors to slow the economy and defeat Trump.

But, like the idiot that lit a fire on a wooden floor to get warm but burned down his house, it got away from them.

668 I'm a teacher. Out of my Pre-K class of fourteen 4 year olds, ten of them were referred for speech therapy services last year. More than 70%. I have never seen anything like it.

The plummeting test scores in elementary school are just the beginning. All because of mask mandates that didn't even affect transmission. All to acheive political ends by sacrificing children's development.

I am not likely to forgive and forget.



Posted by: Lividilla at October 31, 2022 11:32 PM (J0h3l)

669 And for those of us in healthcare, we're going to be condemned to keeping the effing masks on ad infinitum, because, "The Science!" And schoolkids will be subject to a useless Covid vaccine because of CDC "recommendations," bought and paid for by Pharma.

670 Along with the Bleach blood libel, remember the case of the Very Intelligent Person with a Very Intelligent Husband? The ones who, despite being the very good liberals they are to the point of donating only to Democrats,, heard Trump mention "hydroxychloroquine", decided that they needed the closest thing they could find from the aquarium store.

The husband died, but the wife, Wanda Lenius, lived. They're calling it an accidental death, and no new news could be found.

Still call it murder, just by something other than cyanide or arsenic. Would be interesting to see what the files and emails were like on the case. Or at least who was on the team investigating and managing the case, and whether they were particularly partisan enough to let a man's death go unpunished because Orange Man Bad.

Repulsive. If you aren't vaccinated and other people need an ICU bed, we should unplug you, throw you in the family station wagon, and wish you luck. I'd even throw in the ivermectin for free.
Quote Tweet
David Begnaud @DavidBegnaud·Aug 27, 2021
U.S. Army veteran Daniel Wilkinson, of Texas, died of a treatable illness because the Covid crisis left him without an available ICU bed even though he lives 3 houses down from an emergency room and 60 miles away from some of the greatest healthcare facilities in the world.

Replying to @SeanTrende
Don't start with the "whattabout obesity/lung cancer/AIDS" etc. Yes, there are a lot of things that often come about as a result of bad choices that we treat. They don't overwhelm our healthcare facilities, aren't treatable with a shot, and haven't been constant news for a year.

At this point, ICU space is more like liver transplants, and we pick winners and losers there based in part on life choices.
