I don't want my pound of flesh against those who perpetrated Covid follies. What the hell would I do with it? I've already got more things than I need or can use.

What I want is to ensure:

- I never have to face down an employer over getting a shot for a disease I already had and recovered from, and therefore has no benefit to me and some risk. (I told them they were free to fire me, but I wasn't getting it. They eventually folded.)

- My grandchildren never again have to fear being masked when the science shows masks don't work and get shots for diseases that pose no risk for them.

- That healthy people never again get locked down for diseases with low mortality rates.

- That I don't have to endanger my health by wearing unnecessary masks to satisfy some science cargo cult. (My blood CO2 levels went up to dangerous levels during that period.)

- That my children never have to fear being unable to visit their elderly relatives due to policies that isolate elders without protecting them from the disease. (It's too late for my elderly relatives. The last one died in 2021. But my brothers and I defied the government to be with her in her dying days.)

- That government employees are held accountable for their actions, good and bad.

- That people never again get ostracized due to superstitious beliefs in pseudo-science.

None of that will happen if we just forgive and forget. I will never forget. I will only forgive when those demanding forgiveness repent of their actions, demonstrate remorse, and make reparations for the injuries they have caused as best they can.

One way to recognize people who have done evil -- "We did our best, we should forgive and forget." What they mean is, "We did our best to destroy you, we failed, so please forgive us and forget it, so we can do it again, next time." No forgiving, no forgetting.

You know what I find odd. All these leftists are saying, "We need a 'COVID amnesty'" Why?

Isn't the fact that anyone is calling for a "COVID amnesty" --proof that everything was a lie? Isn't it also an admission that the vaccines* didn't/don't work --negating the entire purpose for the mandates and discrimination?

These clowns are still pushing the vaccines* while simultaneously admitting that the vaccines* don't work. Otherwise, why ask for forgiveness?

The mental gymnastics of the leftist mind have no bounds.

Oster can take her amnesty & shove it where the sun don't shine.

I demand accountability & punishment for the perpetrators & enforcers of this ongoing nightmare, which includes, but is not limited to, slowly unfolding mass murder, mass disability, economic devastation & mental health destruction.

I want justice with mercy for the repentant. But mercy does not mean you keep your authority, your position, your ill-gotten gains. You keep your life and your liberty, although you are responsible to safeguard the latter.

The real reason the Democrats are trying to make this election about "our democracy." It's their version of democracy they're worried about and being held accountable for it.

If this Brown prof was chosen by the psy-op Nudge Unit to persuade and take the deplorable's mindset boy did they get a torrent of data this week. Mostly along the lines of "Fuck You Emily".

I agree wholeheartedly! If there is no punishment for their obvious crimes, they will do it again and again and again.

And the vaxx mandates are still in effect for all medical positions, while doctors, nurses, and other medical workers drop dead from the poison. In fact, where is the first nurse to be vaccinated? She passed out just after getting the jab and has not been heard or seen since. Unexpectedly!

The reaction from almost everyone to this very silly article from The Atlantic has been ridicule and anger. There are going to have to be significant actions for forgiveness to be extended. There is a reason Fauci is retiring. But I don't think that is going to save him from Sen Paul. Others deserve the same scrutiny.

A number of public health officials need to be fired. And a select few deserve some jail time. Employers who foolishly demanded the vax to maintain your employment are going to be sued by the trial lawyers as adverse impacts from the jab do not protect an employer from tort claims. This includes hospitals.

Legislatively, we need to take care of extra-governmental actors and organizations determining our rights. This is Gates and the Davos crowd. Massive fines need to be assessed - into the billions of dollars. Time for a reckoning.

Great article. Nuremberg Trials is the only Amnesty I will accept. These people need to account for their Crimes against not only America, but the world. Additionally Every single person involved in the Jan 6 persecutions need to be tried ala a Watergate type hearing. Nothing less will ever solve the crimes against this country by the REAL insurrectionists in this country.

It really is an almost scary sensation within me that this subject touches. It is an almost overwhelming rage, and at the same time like an uncontrollable soul sobbing sadness at the incomprehensible tragedy that has descended upon this country from the moment Covid reared it’s demonic head and then into the absolute horror show of the Biden administration.

Will sanity ever return? I have my doubts.

Without some penalties for their unlawful actions the left will continue to tread on the constitutional rights of the American people. Great column Don !

The acts of covidians has done extensive damage to more than those who fought against this massive overreach. They have damaged all trust in science and "experts" of all fields. Of course, those pushing Global Cooling/Warming/Change started that ball rolling back in the '70s, but the covid errors have really tipped the scales.

As things stand now, The Government could state that the sky is blue and everyone will either run outside to check or just nod their heads and say, "Sure it is," in a very sarcastic tone.
