NEW - The Atlantic publishes a call for amnesty rather than accountability for what has been done to people during the pandemic. pic.twitter.com/sK3TYOxPBC

Don't make me laugh. The answer is NO.
The author's name is Professor Emily Oster, a woman who writes about pregnancy and parenthood. And here she is to tell us to forgive what Fauci, Collins, Scarf-Lady Debra Birx, Scott Gottlieb, your local county health officer in tandem with your governor told us to isolate, to social distance, wear a panty on your face, prevent you from dining out, effectively locking up your elderly grandmother or parent in a convalescent home before killing them. Yeah, right, Emily, oh, such a pretty Victorian name Emily.
Eugyppius calls her out: Professor Oster is a "lockdown moderate." Oh, how compromising. Problem is that she's compromising your health and the nation's economic health.
I don’t know much about the American pandemic pundits, but I gather that Brown University economist and “parenting guru” Emily Oster is far from the worst of them. Her Twitter timeline suggests she spent the early months of the pandemic terrified about the virus until school closures took their toll on her kids, at which point she repositioned herself as a kind of lockdown moderate, opposing the worst of the hystericist excesses while validating their central premises whenever possible to save face with friends and colleagues.
My unpopular opinion of the day is that I think we may be reaching the limits of fear-based vaccine motivation. And there are downsides to continuing to sow fear among those who are already afraid.

What might work?
-Full FDA approval
-Employer mandates
Oh, I love this, Emily. Why don't you retreat to your downtown townhome far away from the rest of civilized, real working people, huh?
Emily Oster’s latest act of moderation is the suggestion that we forgive and forget all the disastrous policies inflicted on us by terrified wealthy urbanites, clueless technocrats and mad scientist vaccinators since 2020, because, hey, these were just honest mistakes, anybody could’ve messed up like that, it’s all good.
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.
The thing is, Emily Oster, that we did know. We’ve studied respiratory virus transmission for years. All the virologists and epidemiologists who aren’t total morons knew your 2020 mask routine was crazy and they just didn’t care. They wanted you to do it anyway, because they thought that if they got you to act paranoid and antisocial enough, your insane behaviour might have some limited effect on case curves. Joke’s on you, and it’s sad you still haven’t realized.
In fact, instead of an amnesty, Emily. I give you this:
Never Forget. Never Forgive. Hold the Line.
Letting them off the hook means to surrender to a horde of troglodytes. Amnesty for lying Fauci? This is worst than running press coverage for Fauci, Birx, Collins, who with his wife, pranced a televised version of Puff the Magic Dragon, the way that Che Guevara would televise public executions on TV for their families to witness the horror. You have a poor grasp of history. Maybe you spend too much time around babies. Give that up occasionally to a babysitter once and a while. Our family members have died and instead of demanding justice, or God forbid just a cessation of all the vaccine mandates, here you are telling us to forgive and forget. What a POS. You ignore the fact that people lost lives, we lost loved ones, brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, family, dear Emily, and your call for amnesty is the rudest insult.
This video is in response to the @TheAtlantic article about “pandemic amnesty” and it’s a much watch. This man is so right on. pic.twitter.com/ZuuA9tIloD

Why not ask us to say to these monsters, "Ah, no big deal, no harm no foul" only to let another few years go by before they introduce something else and you're not going to be in any position to help yourself ore your family or friends. Read this by eugyppius.
And finally, check out this post with Professor Oster's tweets on lockdowns. Lovely gal, isn't she?
When it comes to those who forced lockdowns & drugs on unwilling people now seeking amnesty, an eternal principle stands out: #NeverForget #NeverForgive #HoldTheLine
