Real “mea culpa”, ongoing and rapid revision of history, or further narrative management with regard ‘amnesty’ over what “the others” did to those who thought for themselves over the last few years…
You decide…
In no less a liberal rag than Newsweek, Kevin Bass (MS MD/PHD Student, Medical School) has penned a quite surprising (and ‘brave’) op-ed saying that “it’s time for the scientific community to admit we were wrong about COVID and it cost lives…”
[ZH: emphasis ours]
As a medical student and researcher, I staunchly supported the efforts of the public health authorities when it came to COVID-19.
I believed that the authorities responded to the largest public health crisis of our lives with compassion, diligence, and scientific expertise. I was with them when they called for lockdowns, vaccines, and boosters.
I was wrong. We in the scientific community were wrong. And it cost lives.
I can see now that the scientific community from the CDC to the WHO to the FDA and their representatives, repeatedly overstated the evidence and misled the public about its own views and policies, including on natural vs. artificial immunity, school closures and disease transmission, aerosol spread, mask mandates, and vaccine effectiveness and safety, especially among the young. All of these were scientific mistakes at the time, not in hindsight. Amazingly, some of these obfuscations continue to the present day.
But perhaps more important than any individual error was how inherently flawed the overall approach of the scientific community was, and continues to be. It was flawed in a way that undermined its efficacy and resulted in thousands if not millions of preventable deaths.
What we did not properly appreciate is that preferences determine how scientific expertise is used, and that our preferences might be—indeed, our preferences were—very different from many of the people that we serve. We created policy based on our preferences, then justified it using data. And then we portrayed those opposing our efforts as misguided, ignorant, selfish, and evil.
We made science a team sport, and in so doing, we made it no longer science. It became us versus them, and “they” responded the only way anyone might expect them to: by resisting.
We excluded important parts of the population from policy development and castigated critics, which meant that we deployed a monolithic response across an exceptionally diverse nation, forged a society more fractured than ever, and exacerbated longstanding heath and economic disparities.

Sounds someone directed Kevin Bass to make an effort aimed at memory holing the covid psyop. See article on western rifle shooters by CJ Hopkins called “Memory-Holing a Psyop”.
I would only listen as they stand over the trap door of their gallows, they knew as did the politicians that exempted themselves from the kill shot. I cannot or will not listen to their cries for we were wrong.
SORRY, WHAT THEY OWE THE NATION is way more than we were wrong -- THEY NEED TO SAY -- WE PURPOSELY DECEIVEC YOU FOR OUR FINANCIAL GAIN AND POWER. WE DESERVE TO BE IN PRISON THE REST OF OUR LIVES -- AT THE VERY LEAST -- AND ACTUALLY SHOULD BE EXCECUTED FOR PURPOSEFUL MASS MURDER! And that is just the beginning of how I feel about this subject!
good to know for future reference, the Australian government has let it be known that anyone that administered the poke is now libel for that action, if they cannot prove full disclosure was given the patient. Wonder if we can get moving here?
Then there is the Utah case where the puppet in the White House has been indicted for murder, can the administers of the injection also be indicted?
With all due respect, we’re way beyond the legal system here. Many are not going to stand by for years while so and so gets to play legal games and postpone their sentence.
Trials and executions can happen anywhere anytime. A court of law is not required.
“scientific community”
You mean the one dominated by Bachelor of ARTS degree holders?
The logic fallacy is call FALSE EQUIVALENCE
They said for two years we were wrong. And they want an instant apology?
so, we killed you, but now we are saying we’re sorry. Nah, the program did exactly what it was supposed to do lie to you long enough to get you to commit suicide by injection. Every avenue is in use this one has just kinda run its course. So next we will be taking you food away and your money!
Uh, no. I do not accept your apology, you young twit. You wanted me and my generation dead. A lot of us did succumb. But those of us that remained purebloods are preparing for the inevitable.
We on the 2A side already distrusted the “elites”.
I don’t think he mentioned all of the people who died due to the suppression of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.
No, just no.
No forgiveness. No amnesty. I will hope we have public hangings for all involved.
Those assholes took our freedom, our jobs, our dignity. They murdered our friends and relatives.
It’s time to bring back accountability. Public accountability.
