She doesn't even apologize! I'm willing to forgive some people who were awful. I really am. But they have to own what they've done and reckon with it. They can't just "declare amnesty" and be done with it! The level of arrogant entitlement on display here just makes it all worse.

No thanks, I’d rather see a full fledged Nuremberg trial to assure us that things like crimes against humanity won’t never again go unpunished.

I have one word for you, dear Emily. No! Also, Fuck, no!

Instead, we'll accept words like "Investigations", "Trials", and "Prosecutions"!

Brown is full of bad professors with bad ideas like her. White House covid czar Ashish jha was Dean of its school of public health. He covered up a students hospitalization from a covid jab and still pushed ahead with mandating it. Pure evil. https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-get-into-harvard-part-2

I am suffering from PTSD after what these people did to my family. She clearly has no clue what happened to folks who didn't comply. We were shunned by friends and family. We lost our jobs and our communities and according to Emily, let's just let bygone be bygones? This is just more of the same abuse. Gaslight us to believe it was just a few mistakes, and we are all good people, so let's call the whole thing off. Shall we? I am not surprised by this article one iota but she can shove it.

How about forgiveness when 5.4 billion vaxxed and 8 billion masked and locked down get their lives, health, and welfare back?.....And when those, who took all rights and human dignity away, did so without even giving them a chance to write an article in the Atlantic? Much less due process?

Tell that to the parents and grandparents who died alone, with tubes and ventillators, and NO HUMAN CONTACT?????!!!!!

Or the generation of kids who are now functionally illiterate and innumerate?

Dream on bitch!

How about you apologise first. That might be a good start.

Dear Emily,

There will be NO forgiving and NO forgetting what you and others have done. You will get yours soon enough. At this point I don't really care if it is legal or not. I won't feel the slightest bit sorry for you.

The only thing you have to be happy about is that in my country the 14% who remain un-jabbed are the least of your concerns. You didn't get us and our immediate family. What do you think the other 86% are going to do to you when they put 2 + 2 = 4?

Some will be like Stalin's "Useful Idiots" and go to their graves saying "It wasn't the vaccine" or "It would have been worse without the vaccine" but a lot will want a pound of flesh. YOUR FLESH and every other LOSER who forced/coerced them into it.

Right now us un-jabbed are the least of your worries. We just start a dead pool to amuse ourselves and wait to see which of you true believers drop dead next from the experimental gene therapy injections.

Forgiveness is a concept that makes sense for discussion about how you're going to treat the sister-in-law who refused to spend Christmas with you. It has no place in a discussion about holding public officials and others in power accountable for what they did to the people who had to live under their thumb. I can't tell you how often I hear the old concepts of Christian charity (no offense to non-Christians--I mean it as a specific cultural reference, not a judgment on any faith) leveraged in a heavy lift in favor of totalitarianism or other evil concept. It's tiresome. It's not about whether I would "forgive" Adolf Hitler or Rachel Levine. It's about whether these people should have jobs ever again, other than (maybe. maybe!) mowing the grass median on Route 22 in New Jersey. If I were a mother whose child was condemned to a lifetime of illiteracy--I'm sorry, but if you miss years of school and your parents can't quit their jobs to teach you, you're probably never really learning how to read--I *might* be able to forgive Gretchen Whitmer, but I certainly wouldn't want her ever having any position of power or influence (or high pay) ever, ever, ever again.

They were in the dark . . . . . yeah, that tends to happen when you make the personal decision to go over to the Dark Side.

the fact that some of the leading experts in the world were censored, insulted and attacked by those "in the dark" nullifies any forgiveness. these simpering "we didn't know, we were doing the best we could" claims started floating out awhile ago, and it's repulsive. if they were honestly trying to do the right thing, they'd have welcomed the opinions and feedback from experts. instead they attacked them. nope- no forgiveness for that.

Back in 2020, one of my cousin's FB "friends" said she should be tried for attempted murder for not wearing a mask. I linked for her the studies which showed cloth masks were ineffective, but she saw the government required disclaimer at the top, and stood her ground (remember that disclaimer? It basically said, "The below study may say that masking doesn't work, but it really does, because the government now says it does." I'm considering pulling that up and linking Gato's article for her.

How many times did we read and hear our neighbors saying "If everyone would wear a mask, this would be over in 3 weeks"? Or- "I saw someone in the hardware store with no mask on! That's why my son's football games are being canceled!" "I saw someone in the drugstore without a mask on, and he refused to put on the one I shoved in his face, so now I probably have COVID, but I found out where he lives so please harrass him." ETC. I saved the screenshots. We should have a site where we can share them, so we don't forget.

I’m not in a forgiving mood or expect I ever will be…I had to watch my father slowly die over a period of 3 months from CHF through a damn window! When my mother was in respiratory failure from covid I had to say goodbye to her over the damn phone!! I want accountability, I want justice, I want people arrested. I want our version of the Nuremberg Trials broadcast 24/7!

‘We need to forgive one another for what we did and said…’

Who “we”?

I did nothing and said only the truth. It’s a mild virus serious in only a tiny fraction of the population, lockdowns and mask are useless after a virus has begun to circulate widely, vaccines are not effective against RNA viruses, and experimental ones are dangerous. Forcing healthy people to isolate, wear masks, get injections was tyranny. I was right so I need no forgiveness but I do want my pound of flesh… no let’s be metric, kilo of flesh - public floggings, and heads on spikes. Then I shall forgive.

The Covid crazies are also (largely) the same academics and bureaucrats who are mutilating kids because of their crackpot gender ideology.

We don't need to wait for the next pandemic for their lack of accountability to cause damage. They'll whip up a moral panic and do it on their own without an engineered virus. Consequences. Now.
