Something to Talk About

Do you recall the article in the Atlantic written by Emily Oster? “Lets Declare A Pandemic Amnesty” after all she says- “we didn’t know!”
I didn’t read the article then, but there were a lot of comments about it on the Internet. Hell NO! No Amnesty – was the response to the article- because the cost was way too high. At the opening of the Oregon legislative session – either this year or last year – someone spoke of the damaging residue due to the response to Cxxxd. Three or four Oregon teenagers committed suicide. School kids lost ground in their education. Babies no longer reach developmental milestones. Child abuse went up -people lost their jobs, their businesses, their livelihood – Those people who “knew” would not get the youknowhat, lots of discrimination against those that wouldn’t get the youknowhat – In one little town here- Where people are considered to have more education than in the rest of the little towns around here, was it an echo, a replay, of what happened to a group of people in WWII, singled out because they were different? They are “others”, let’s hate them – and a new term “ virtue signaling” was rampant in the hearts and minds of many people both here and abroad. People wanted other people to show their “youknowhat card” in order to partake in anything social. And one local medical clinic announced that those who “knew” would have to be seen in the parking lot.!!!
This author says in her article – “lets focus on the future,” after all, she says “We Didn’t know”. And there it is – WE DIDN’T KNOW! But my question is, Why didn’t “we” know? This author is well educated, The well educated are supposed to have critical thinking skills. BUT “WE” DIDN’T KNOW? How is that possible.There are a whole lot of people with just basic eduction that knew! People all over the place knew! They were censored but we still got to read them. The question is Why didn’t you know? The answer is – you didn’t want to know, and you don’t want to know now. Let’s just forget about it. Just like the some people didn’t want to remember what happened in WWII.
