I wouldn't be upset if we stayed this upset every day until the trials were over.
Maybe Emily knows people on the "We were paid to spread propaganda" list. Heck, maybe she's even high enough on the totem pole to be on the list herself.
Based on what we now know as proven fact about the federal government spending millions (a billion?) on directly buying media messaging, including social media influencers, I would be very willing to wager she was directly paid at some point. This sort of thing is, as I said, literally all she exists to do.
Which still isn't a crime she can ever be punished for in any meaningful way, and knows it. Which is why I say what I say about guilt.
Maybe she can't be punished by the LEGAL system, but she's sure as hell going to be tried in the court of public opinion by angry parents and the vaccine-injured.
There's a chance- especially after her article getting ratioed into outer space- that this is waiting in the wings for her after she has exhausted her usefulness.
Me, I like a clean blade with no nicked edges. I know how the postman always rings twice and taxes take down killers, but I myself am hoping the purity of our wrath takes out all of 'em.
Thanks for the chuckle. As much as I gave in to the osama hate, I was and am vehemently opposed to the patriot act. But looking back is always funny because I spent twenty years believing he is the one who blew up those buildings.
I had a massive argument about this with a old “friend“ who determined it “wasn’t shady” and that it was directly because of “people like you” (me). I ignored him for another year and then blocked him once he started lurking on my page and liking everything people posted about what an asshole I was. I don’t have time for cowards.
The clever Ms. Oster--oops, *Dr.* Oster--first became loathsome to me a few years ago when she expended a great deal of her expert brainpower on *proving* that drinking in moderation during pregnancy was perfectly safe for women, because God forbid they might have to give up a little wine for nine months in the interest of doing everything within their own power to try to have a healthy child.
This is again a demonstration of why well-aimed hatred is a necessary emotion.
That which is convenient to her, or does not inconvenience her is the main engine of her self-presentation as a person of scientific rigor (she's primarily a statistician).
May she rot utterly, cell by cell, in a slow and malodorous decay, and may it be done in our lifetimes, amen.
I get what she's after. I really think I do - she believes the ole' harp about "you can't build on hatred". Sure you can! Just make sure the ones designated to be hated can't fight back, or better yet isn't a unified group with resources. Its like it always is with bullies and hangers-on (she reeks of it): as soon as authority seems to be stepping in for real, it's all about the rationalisations and blather and making up for misunderstandings and "we were only joking", and usually authority buys it wholesale.
She and others like her needs what I'd call the Evaristo-treatment.
Today it was announced in direct contravention of the policy of every political party in Sweden since the early 1960s that "we" would welcome NATO placing nuclear weapons in Sweden.
Zero debate. No criticism. The silence, even from the peaceniks and parlour pinks who are usually against any US/Western military intervention? Quiet. The papers? Quiet. The various feminist groups for disarmament and peace? Quiet. Every political group with any tie to any party in parliament is quiet about it.
Especially not considering it was our ÖB (ÖverBefälhavare, means Commander in Chief) general Micael Bydén who said it on national television. Nuclear weapons in out vicinity has been /the/ major taboo the last 60 years, to virtually everyone.
And suddenly those same "everyone" turns on a dime.
As an aside, promotion to full general which is a four-star rank, is the privvy of the party or parties making up governement, not the military. The highest rank that is solely under military control is the next one down, lieutenant general.
More like Bydén spreading wide for Biden saying: "Gimme your Minuteman, man!"
A few years back after being appointed, Bydén gave the okay to military personnel walking in the Pride-parades - in service wear, including rank insignia. Something which was taboo, not only for Pride, since it is crucial the military remains lawbound, non-partisan and apolitical.
When publicly criticised for this by some (no politicians though, to scared of the gay brigades) the military's press service replied that anyone criticising or feeling it inappropriate weren't wanted in the military anyway.
Guess what? They are finding it more and more difficult to find swedes willing to volunteer for service - this is but one reason, the lousy pay and mandatory foreign service including actual combat is another. Having to buy your own boots because the one the military buys under contract doesn't even last one season is another.
Every time I wonder what evil I did in some previous life to end up here, I remember I'm not in an oven or being hacked to pieces by Genghis Khan's hordes or putrefying from the Black Death or under that meteor in Siberia.
Give it some time. This show's just starting, SCA! In reality, most likely, they'll just freeze the bank accounts of the recalcitrant and force them to fend for themselves on the streets. Stalin's thugs didn't outright murder too many Ukrainians in the early 30s. They just took away their food and let nature do the rest.
Yeah, but on the other hand you're missing out on hunting wholly mammoths and giant elks, or seeing the Colossus of Rhodes first hand, or sailing past the Pillars of Herakles on your way from Tyre to the land of tin, or...
I mean, the only things we have today that the romans didn't, are more or less computers/phones, vehicles with wngines and plastic.
Two thousand years ago you could have strolled down an avenue on your way to meet Miles Gloriosus at the Forum, buying fast food in a disposable clay container on the way and being annoyed at people hiring out their walls for commerical mosaics portraying gladiators shilling out for greek olive oil, or quietly fuming at the Emperor hiring filthy unshaven trouser-wearing barbarians for his palatine guards.
I think even in those days, if you made it past 5, you had a good chance to keep going. That life expectancy thingy always seemed a little misleading to me.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who sincerely apologizes for what he's done. It speaks well of him to reflect on the situation, admit his fault, and seek forgiveness for his actions. Personally, I can readily put aside any hard feelings and move forward in the relationship.
Without that, though...not gonna happen.
There's also a little too much arrogance in Emily's post (!), from what I've read (no Atlantic clicks from me) on other Substacks. Talk about the unjabbed "being right, but for the wrong reasons" reminds me of Scott Adams' condescending admission that he'd been duped.
Ultimately, the Covid show is coming to an end. Maybe it's because Omicron threw a wrench in the plans to inject every living being in the West, but I suspect that it was just the first campaign in a long war our oligarchy is waging against us. It is called Agenda 2030, after all. War and famine loom over the horizon. Absolutely nothing resets society better than a good, old-fashioned war. Buckle up; it's gonna be a real interesting decade.
Early this year, when data was showing that the "vaccines" were worse than useless, he explained away his gullibility in rolling up his sleeve by claiming that he had done serious research into the vaxxes. He was "wrong for the right reasons," he smugly put it. The unjabbed were simply lucky when they chose not to get injected--"right for the wrong reasons." He refused to credit them for correctly being suspicious of the narrative and refusing to take the poison.
The side which "made hard choices with little information" never made the correct choice, somehow they always landed on the exact wrong choice for the situation. If you wear masks you won't get the virus. Meanwhile, every doctor and nurse was rapidly infected while wearing masks. We have to clear hospitals of people who are recovering to make room for newly ill people, we must send them to nursing homes or we will run out of hospital rooms. And if you don't we won't pay your medicare. So, we already knew at that point that old people were most susceptible to the virus for a fatal outcome and we sent thousands of people who were infected but not sick enough to require hospital care to where the most susceptible were packed in like sardines.
Meanwhile, patients who were infected but not yet seriously ill were told to go home until they were at deaths door and then come back to the hospital. Result, people dying in waiting rooms and an overwhelming collapse of patient care while the governors in those same places appointed themselves medical experts and banned the use of safe medications which had shown to be effective when used early or prophylactically.
And then researchers "tested" those medications by mailing them to people who tested positive where the average time of getting the medications being tested took 2 weeks and pronounced them failures because there were no improvements when the typical course of the virus runs 10 days. In 2 weeks you are either better or dead and nothing in the mail would change that.
So, no amnesty for anyone who participated in the largest mass murder in US history, not for the mandaters and not for the propandists or social media platforms that still bar the truth from being exposed. They all have blood on their hands and deserve the same treatment. If you feel you deserve amnesty, raise your hand, someone with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire will be along shortly to dispense it to you.
I've been saying it all day on Twitter and am glad you're saying it here too.
Not enough contempt in the universe to drown these people in. No retribution is sufficient.
The hard-to-swallow part is that this happens in every era, in every place; for every sterling person there are 100 who are the basest of the base. We can only hope a little to see some justice for this, in our time.
Funny thing. Every once in a while when I'm particularly annoyed that some family members are gone because I have something I particularly want to tell them, I send them an email. (My kid explained how to do those "your email address +" thingies.)
Better than nothing, right? I send it, it arrives, I file it.
I feel the same way: I don't want to waste any more time or breath on this media critter. That's not to criticize what you and others are doing. I started to write my own thing, but I got too sick to my stomach to finish it.
Your guess about her mentality is as good as mine. But for my money, that was as transparently ugly and inept an escape attempt as I've ever seen. Houdini she ain't. It's far from the last of these we'll suffer through. The "amnesty" market is still in its awkward adolescent phase. They're still pulling our hair on the playground, while secretly wanting a kiss. But deep down, its dawning on them that there will be a reckoning.
Oster's tier of creature hasn't done anything that gets a formal reckoning. The only thing she'll ever suffer is the hatred of others, which is apparently even too much for her to bear.
Normally I'd agree. But when I consider how she misrepresented her own mask data, and I see shit like this coming out via FOIA, I can't help but wonder if there's some dark money trail that leads to Emily's doorstep:
Emily makes me so mad, I can’t eloquently respond to her bullshit. So, I will post your article on twitter. BTW: I’m a paying reader and you’re worth every cent.
Just FYI: I think the lead photo here translates very poorly on a Twitter posting for marketing purposes. It may make some less-careful readers of tweets (of whom there are most) think my tweets are some sort of trolling.
"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live among injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust."--St. Thomas Aquinas
I am too overwhelmed by pity for all those who now go to bed each night wondering whether the junk pumped into them from those devilish syringes is going to destroy their lives or even end them to give a flying fig for the likes of the dimwits who promoted the prescribed narratives like good little puppets.
Each disablement, each death should hang on their souls like a proverbial albatross and drag them down and out of the view of those of us who fought, tooth and nail, to research, prove and warn until we were de-platformed and condemned to languish silenced and vilified in an obscure periphery by the vicious collaborating social media.
My heart remains heavy with images of thousands queuing for their shots, oblivious of how totally they were deceived. My heart goes out to those who witnessed their loved ones expiring in agony or in isolated loneliness. My heart breaks for those who trusted their tell-lie-vision pundits all the way to an early grave.
The likes of a nobody, wailing for forgiveness in a globalist rag like the Atlantic does not even merit the click it would take to read her half-baked apology for being so gullible and dangerous to society.
I am too busy watching the health of the world turn to mush while the perpetrators clock up their daily successes in this, their latest quiet war with silent weapons.
Had some more thoughts on the purpose of this article:
One thing to notice is they aren’t saying they were completely wrong, and knowingly engaged in a genocide. Obviously this isn’t going to fly with us, so who is this article aimed at? I don’t think it’s aimed at suburban females thinking of voting (R) either, as it won’t work on them. I think the target of the article are those like the author, ride-left-or-die shitlibs. The problem that needs to be solved is that even they can see some errors that were made, and which they went along with. That might even make them… bad people.
“Emily… are we the baddies? But there is a whole generation of children that can’t recognize facial expressions. And we openly threatened to gulag 1/2 the nation over the flu… are you sure we aren’t the baddies?”
So to turn this around, they offer up amnesty, an agreement to go back to status quo ante. When we refuse with hysterical laughter, they can say they made the offer, but we turned it down. Only BAD people turn down peace treaties, so obviously the Left is back to being the good guys! Everything would be peaches and cream if the Right accepted that very generous offer of everyone forgetting about ruining children’s lives to the point of suicide over a slightly bad flu season.
This is probably the best help the community can give. I know I'm not everywhere and couldn't be even if I wanted. I don't have the kind of sharing engine that influencers have to grow their audiences.
You've pretty much described the key to organic audience growth for "regular people" (ie., individuals who don't have a "brand" with support staff or have invested in artificial growth services).
Ugh, and now I sound like I'm giving a marketing lecture and need to wash the whore stench off.
I actually tried this the other day on fuckbook sharing Igor’s article about the Twitter advertising. It crashed and burned. Most of these people are as bad as they look. No curiosity and no empathy while shouting from the rooftops how fucking awesome and witty they are.
Guarantee she's either a post modernist or was educated by post modernists so she won't believe in objective truth anyway. She will have been taught everything is the exercise of power and she should be given special treatment because something something vagina.
I read the thing and my first thought was: this was written to her fellow meritocrats, we got almost everything right, but we got a few things like masks outdoors wrong, so we still deserve to rule America and protect Democracy from domestic terrorists, which is more than half the country.
So, do I have something new and original to add to my choice words offered on Euggypius stack…
“ <opening comment>
Not being in a very reconciliatory frame of mind, I have choice words for Team Apocalypse (TA). Similarly to #FJB, the words may be sung to the tune of two doorbell rings, and are: #FTA. For emphasis, I add: !.
I look for a full accounting, apologies, policy reversals, and corrective actions, as a prerequisite to the start of any potential healing process.”
Aside from the increasingly banal “Dear Team Apocalypse: Fuck You and the Syringe you rode in on.”, may I offer that there is Nod and a Wink at play here.
The majority who are “vaxxed” can undertake in their own secret not secret agreement to just take a Mulligan. No harm no foul they will say. Why dwell on the past they will say. That’s in the past they will say. Time to move on they will say. The victors get to write the history is their de facto mantra.
As the minority we must demand no reconciliation without reparations. My how the shoe can slip easily to another foot.
What are the conditions for healing? These must be well thought and well articulated.
Acknowledgement of grievances,
apology for harms done,
policy reversals,
make the victims whole,
punitive damages,
measures adopted to prevent this from happening again,
and finally grovel on the dusty ground with a boot presented to their face for licking while they are pegged from on top to the dirty earth.
I wouldn't be upset if we stayed this upset every day until the trials were over.
Maybe Emily knows people on the "We were paid to spread propaganda" list. Heck, maybe she's even high enough on the totem pole to be on the list herself.
Based on what we now know as proven fact about the federal government spending millions (a billion?) on directly buying media messaging, including social media influencers, I would be very willing to wager she was directly paid at some point. This sort of thing is, as I said, literally all she exists to do.
Which still isn't a crime she can ever be punished for in any meaningful way, and knows it. Which is why I say what I say about guilt.
Maybe she can't be punished by the LEGAL system, but she's sure as hell going to be tried in the court of public opinion by angry parents and the vaccine-injured.
No, unfortunately for the rest of us, her social set will keep her firmly clutched to their collective bosoms for the duration.
"To get her you'll have to go through me!"
"Your terms are acceptable."
In fucking spades.
Until they go digging in her history and find some snippet of a remark from 15 years ago that's now racist and they'll CRUCIFY her for it.
There's a chance- especially after her article getting ratioed into outer space- that this is waiting in the wings for her after she has exhausted her usefulness.
Me, I like a clean blade with no nicked edges. I know how the postman always rings twice and taxes take down killers, but I myself am hoping the purity of our wrath takes out all of 'em.
Man, do I ever want to take her down more cleanly. Our weapons, not theirs.
I certainly hope you're correct about the court of public opinion. This broad needs to be hated publically and told about it repeatedly.
Can’t be *judicially* punished for …
Yes. I should have clarified.
Related, in case you missed it:

Thanks for the chuckle. As much as I gave in to the osama hate, I was and am vehemently opposed to the patriot act. But looking back is always funny because I spent twenty years believing he is the one who blew up those buildings.
They were probably the thing that came closest to convincing me, so I can't be furious.
I lost a few heroes. I've always been very skeptical of parasocial relationships, but I at least had role models.
I had a massive argument about this with a old “friend“ who determined it “wasn’t shady” and that it was directly because of “people like you” (me). I ignored him for another year and then blocked him once he started lurking on my page and liking everything people posted about what an asshole I was. I don’t have time for cowards.
The clever Ms. Oster--oops, *Dr.* Oster--first became loathsome to me a few years ago when she expended a great deal of her expert brainpower on *proving* that drinking in moderation during pregnancy was perfectly safe for women, because God forbid they might have to give up a little wine for nine months in the interest of doing everything within their own power to try to have a healthy child.
This is again a demonstration of why well-aimed hatred is a necessary emotion.
That which is convenient to her, or does not inconvenience her is the main engine of her self-presentation as a person of scientific rigor (she's primarily a statistician).
May she rot utterly, cell by cell, in a slow and malodorous decay, and may it be done in our lifetimes, amen.
PS: I really enjoy this class of writing from you. To like the infinite power, or something.
Concur!
Absolutely agree. FANTASTIC article Guttermouth.
Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!

Ahem.
I get what she's after. I really think I do - she believes the ole' harp about "you can't build on hatred". Sure you can! Just make sure the ones designated to be hated can't fight back, or better yet isn't a unified group with resources. Its like it always is with bullies and hangers-on (she reeks of it): as soon as authority seems to be stepping in for real, it's all about the rationalisations and blather and making up for misunderstandings and "we were only joking", and usually authority buys it wholesale.
She and others like her needs what I'd call the Evaristo-treatment.
"I'm sorry you're upset."
Just had time to read your post in full. Well done.
I've read several. Yours was best.
Not being a sycophant ...just objective
We don't really do sycophants around here. :)
Thank you.

A quick permanent culling would give me a lot of satisfaction, and I wouldn't want it accomplished, to be honest, by any other hand than mine.
And now I must wish for a political party equally loathsome to the one currently in power to win.
Fucking rotten times, ain't they?
Yup.
Here's an example form over here:
Today it was announced in direct contravention of the policy of every political party in Sweden since the early 1960s that "we" would welcome NATO placing nuclear weapons in Sweden.
Zero debate. No criticism. The silence, even from the peaceniks and parlour pinks who are usually against any US/Western military intervention? Quiet. The papers? Quiet. The various feminist groups for disarmament and peace? Quiet. Every political group with any tie to any party in parliament is quiet about it.
That is not random.
Holy shit.
That is not small.
Especially not considering it was our ÖB (ÖverBefälhavare, means Commander in Chief) general Micael Bydén who said it on national television. Nuclear weapons in out vicinity has been /the/ major taboo the last 60 years, to virtually everyone.
And suddenly those same "everyone" turns on a dime.

The Rot, it is everywhere.
Every time I wonder what evil I did in some previous life to end up here, I remember I'm not in an oven or being hacked to pieces by Genghis Khan's hordes or putrefying from the Black Death or under that meteor in Siberia.
So maybe I hadn't been so bad?
Give it some time. This show's just starting, SCA! In reality, most likely, they'll just freeze the bank accounts of the recalcitrant and force them to fend for themselves on the streets. Stalin's thugs didn't outright murder too many Ukrainians in the early 30s. They just took away their food and let nature do the rest.
Yeah, but on the other hand you're missing out on hunting wholly mammoths and giant elks, or seeing the Colossus of Rhodes first hand, or sailing past the Pillars of Herakles on your way from Tyre to the land of tin, or...

Yeah. There are plenty of things I'd have enjoyed.
I would maybe have not wanted to die of a cold at age 35, but beyond that.
I think even in those days, if you made it past 5, you had a good chance to keep going. That life expectancy thingy always seemed a little misleading to me.
Well, this is true. And since they had nice warm baths, really, there's nothing to be marked lacking.
Except fluoridated water and microplastics in the seafood!
This is great
Jesus Hapoloid Christ!
If you do not hate that which threatens what you love, then you do not truly love.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who sincerely apologizes for what he's done. It speaks well of him to reflect on the situation, admit his fault, and seek forgiveness for his actions. Personally, I can readily put aside any hard feelings and move forward in the relationship.

The 2020s will bring at least as much change as the 1920s. Buckle up and gird your loins.
I don’t deal with insincere people. If an apology does not list specific offense(s) I do not accept the faux apology.
Early this year, when data was showing that the "vaccines" were worse than useless, he explained away his gullibility in rolling up his sleeve by claiming that he had done serious research into the vaxxes. He was "wrong for the right reasons," he smugly put it. The unjabbed were simply lucky when they chose not to get injected--"right for the wrong reasons." He refused to credit them for correctly being suspicious of the narrative and refusing to take the poison.
I have seen very few egos as big as Scott's in people that I don't worry are psychopaths.
He's just a high-IQ narcissist.
The side which "made hard choices with little information" never made the correct choice, somehow they always landed on the exact wrong choice for the situation. If you wear masks you won't get the virus. Meanwhile, every doctor and nurse was rapidly infected while wearing masks.

thank you. You said exactly what I've been trying to say all day.
You're very welcome. Hearing that actually gives me some small comfort too.
I've been saying it all day on Twitter and am glad you're saying it here too.
Not enough contempt in the universe to drown these people in. No retribution is sufficient.
The hard-to-swallow part is that this happens in every era, in every place; for every sterling person there are 100 who are the basest of the base. We can only hope a little to see some justice for this, in our time.
I don't do Twitter. Could you be convinced to heave some contempt upon her for me?
I already did it for all of us, I guarantee ya.
Outstanding! Thankee!
Sometimes you just gotta write something. Never apologize for it! :)
https://vimeo.com/766270244
Eh, not everything needs to be said.
Surely you're old enough to remember "Write a letter then burn it" to make yourself feel better? :)
I actually had clients do that.
Funny thing. Every once in a while when I'm particularly annoyed that some family members are gone because I have something I particularly want to tell them, I send them an email. (My kid explained how to do those "your email address +" thingies.)
Better than nothing, right? I send it, it arrives, I file it.

I don't know that that exists. But I'm not in a mood to give the benefit of the doubt right now.
Emily makes me so mad, I can’t eloquently respond to her bullshit. So, I will post your article on twitter. BTW: I’m a paying reader and you’re worth every cent.
I appreciate all the Gutterballs that repost on their social media. You're doing me a genuine solid.
Go forth, my brave warriors.
Thanks for the reminder to do this. Gonna do it now.
Done.

Yay! Excellent reference!

Each disablement, each death should hang on their souls like a proverbial albatross and drag them down and out of the view of those of us who fought, tooth and nail, to research, prove and warn until we were de-platformed and condemned to languish silenced and vilified in an obscure periphery by the vicious collaborating social media.
My heart remains heavy with images of thousands queuing for their shots, oblivious of how totally they were deceived. My heart goes out to those who witnessed their loved ones expiring in agony or in isolated loneliness. My heart breaks for those who trusted their tell-lie-vision pundits all the way to an early grave.
The likes of a nobody, wailing for forgiveness in a globalist rag like the Atlantic does not even merit the click it would take to read her half-baked apology for being so gullible and dangerous to society.
I am too busy watching the health of the world turn to mush while the perpetrators clock up their daily successes in this, their latest quiet war with silent weapons.
They're still pushing the shots. The NHS in the UK just launched a flu/covid jab campaign in time for winter.
There is no cure for stupid.
Had some more thoughts on the purpose of this article:
One thing to notice is they aren’t saying they were completely wrong, and knowingly engaged in a genocide. Obviously this isn’t going to fly with us, so who is this article aimed at? I don’t think it’s aimed at suburban females thinking of voting (R) either, as it won’t work on them. I think the target of the article are those like the author, ride-left-or-die shitlibs. The problem that needs to be solved is that even they can see some errors that were made, and which they went along with. That might even make them… bad people.
“Emily… are we the baddies? But there is a whole generation of children that can’t recognize facial expressions. And we openly threatened to gulag 1/2 the nation over the flu… are you sure we aren’t the baddies?”

So to turn this around, they offer up amnesty, an agreement to go back to status quo ante. When we refuse with hysterical laughter, they can say they made the offer, but we turned it down. Only BAD people turn down peace treaties, so obviously the Left is back to being the good guys! Everything would be peaches and cream if the Right accepted that very generous offer of everyone forgetting about ruining children’s lives to the point of suicide over a slightly bad flu season.
FYI I just tweeted the link to this post to an acct with over 23K followers and the guy "liked" it, so I hope he'll retweet it.
That's awesome. Thank you.
This is probably the best help the community can give. I know I'm not everywhere and couldn't be even if I wanted. I don't have the kind of sharing engine that influencers have to grow their audiences.
I was a little slow to think of it but I've started doing the same for Hollymathnerd's

stuff too. I only have 40 followers but if I add a link to my replies to big accts. I let 'em do the heavy lifting...
You've pretty much described the key to organic audience growth for "regular people" (ie., individuals who don't have a "brand" with support staff or have invested in artificial growth services).
Ugh, and now I sound like I'm giving a marketing lecture and need to wash the whore stench off.
PS: Though I'm generally incorrigible by nature, I've sometimes not been averse to being a henchgal for a selected few now and then.
A hall of loyal huskarls is worth more than land or gold.
I actually tried this the other day on fuckbook sharing Igor’s article about the Twitter advertising. It crashed and burned. Most of these people are as bad as they look. No curiosity and no empathy while shouting from the rooftops how fucking awesome and witty they are.
Leana Wen made her debut as a man-on-the-street for the "Boston Bombing." Even then, it was all about her, to her.
Guarantee she's either a post modernist or was educated by post modernists so she won't believe in objective truth anyway. She will have been taught everything is the exercise of power and she should be given special treatment because something something vagina.
I read the thing and my first thought was: this was written to her fellow meritocrats, we got almost everything right, but we got a few things like masks outdoors wrong, so we still deserve to rule America and protect Democracy from domestic terrorists, which is more than half the country.
So, do I have something new and original to add to my choice words offered on Euggypius stack…
“ <opening comment>
Not being in a very reconciliatory frame of mind, I have choice words for Team Apocalypse (TA). Similarly to #FJB, the words may be sung to the tune of two doorbell rings, and are: #FTA. For emphasis, I add: !.
I look for a full accounting, apologies, policy reversals, and corrective actions, as a prerequisite to the start of any potential healing process.”

… and to those offered on Gato’s stack…
“ <opening commenr>
Regarding amnesty...choice words that come to mind in response are: F. Team Apocalypse, NFW.
There be a hella lotta work in front of them as a prerequisite to any contemplation of healing process.“

Aside from the increasingly banal “Dear Team Apocalypse: Fuck You and the Syringe you rode in on.”, may I offer that there is Nod and a Wink at play here.
The majority who are “vaxxed” can undertake in their own secret not secret agreement to just take a Mulligan. No harm no foul they will say. Why dwell on the past they will say. That’s in the past they will say. Time to move on they will say. The victors get to write the history is their de facto mantra.
As the minority we must demand no reconciliation without reparations. My how the shoe can slip easily to another foot.
What are the conditions for healing? These must be well thought and well articulated.
Acknowledgement of grievances,
apology for harms done,
policy reversals,
make the victims whole,
punitive damages,
measures adopted to prevent this from happening again,
and finally grovel on the dusty ground with a boot presented to their face for licking while they are pegged from on top to the dirty earth.
Maybe the last one could be negotiated.
What are your conditions?
I like your demands quite a bit.
If I had one additional wish it would be for the average Joe's to know the truth.
