@theorytoe @gabriel they have the choice between admitting they were wrong the whole time: acting like the "fascists" they called everyone who has a different opinion while fucking up their own health in a major way.
admitting being wrong would shatter their residual self image.
@bonifartius @theorytoe @gabriel Many did admit that they were wrong, including mainstream outlets, but at the same time it seems like those articles were buried.

There were also cases of people who had all charges against them cleared after being arrested during the lockdowns. The most notable is Ian Smith who kept his gym open and got arrested for it. Last year, he won a lawsuit against the government and now has enough money to retire. Of course, that story was buried.
@xianc78 @theorytoe @gabriel
but they didn't admit they were wrong and acting immoral:
> We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge.
they still want to decide what is "misinformation". they still use the "oh we had to use violence against you because we didn't know better" excuse.
take this:
> Remember when the public-health community had to spend a lot of time and resources urging Americans not to inject themselves with bleach?
as if there was wide-spread bleach injecting happening. heroic public-health community fighting "misinformation" that was caused by mainstream media (controlled by big pharma) misquoting and cutting up something trump said in the first place.
> In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing.
no, it didn't take any luck. i read many papers, and while i'm not a doctor or related, the beauty of science is that the language used by one science at least roughly can be understood by people from other areas. i also did attempt to calculate the dosage error for the mRNA injections. which was huge because it was diluted two times by people like nurses using cheap platic syringes which have an intrinsic error in the range of 5%. on top of this doctors did stuff like getting 7 injections out of a 6 dose vial and deemed themselves heroes for it.
anyone who was able to read a paper about any engineering topic would have been able to do this.
combine this with "the speed of science" sloppy safety trials is as big of a red flag there is.
no, these people just want a cheap excuse. "we didn't know".
regardless of this, if it would've been a bad decision they did for themselves it would be fine, i even would sympathize with it, mistakes happen.
unfortunately they chose to unleash the full arsenal of fucking with other peoples lives. THIS was the moral failing, but that's the point they'll never admit, "sorry we fucked up your life because we have no regard for others! no hard feelings!"
on the topic of people NOW getting justice: that's the usual strategy. mistreat people in grave ways as a punishment and then drag out the admission it was injustice for years so they give up and have to put all their resources into getting justice. the judicial system is part of the punishment. spooners words on laws proven right again.
@bonifartius @theorytoe @gabriel @Hephaestic I don't forgive them even for a minute. They planned the whole thing (look up Event 201) and the damage has already been done.
Admitting you are wrong does not involve asking for amnesty for all the wrongdoing you wrought.
