During the COVID-19 pandemic officials used a variety of means that literally ruined hundreds of thousands of people’s lives. They locked down businesses, forced people to stay in their homes, shut own schools and churches, forced you and your children to wear masks and in some cases even threatened to have people arrested or fined who would not comply, closed parks and playgrounds, and even went so far as to pushed employers to mandate a vaccine that resulted in massive amounts of people to lose their jobs if they refused to take it.
Now, the leftist elite’s primary organ, The Atlantic, has published an article calling for COVID Amnesty.
The audacity is disgusting! Let’s just forget it all happened on move on. Even though people couldn’t see their relatives in the hospital or attend funerals for their loved ones, just act like everything is hunky dory and move on. This excerpt from the Atlantic article is a prime example of the moral bankruptcy of this kind of thinking:
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.
Despite the author not having known, millions of Americans did right from the start and it resulted in lives and even reputations being destroyed too. Worst part about it is that many of the politicians and bureaucrats who implemented the onerous COVID-19 policies are unashamed about what they did while others, like Anthony Fauci, personally benefited from the mayhem.
Do not forgive nor forget what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vote wisely on November 8th.
