Brown University must teach a course in how to Apologize without Apologizing

Yesterday Emily Oster, a Brown university Economics professor, published an article in the Atlantic that is getting a lot of attention.  Emily thinks that it is time to forgive and forget; let bygones be bygones and move past COVID.

Our Governments used COVID as an excuse to destroy lives.  People lost their incomes, then when the vaccines arrived some even lost their lives.  The Government could not have done any of this without the cooperation of useful idiots like Emily Oster.  People like Emily Oster gleefully cheered as government killed their neighbors and now Emily wants forgiveness.  I am not inclined to forgive Emily Oster and I doubt the people she harmed are either.  This guy certainly isn’t ready.

Emily wants everyone to understand that no one meant to kill anyone, it was all just a big mistake.  A series of mistakes actually based on incomplete information.  According to Emily the information was so incomplete that the people who were right were only right by accident.

And on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong. In some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons. 

Emily Oster, economics professor at Brown University, is a liar, or stupid, or both.  Neither Stupidity or dishonest is a desirable attribute for a teacher but it does explain why so many people with degrees are so clueless.  The reality is that our information was not nearly as incomplete as Emily wants you to believe.

Before COVID we possessed a lot of very useful knowledge.  We knew:

1. About seasonal airborne respiratory viruses and how they transmitted.
2. A lot about corona viruses and RNA viruses in general. RNA viruses are very unstable and mutate constantly which made development of a successful vaccine very unlikely.
3. That Corona viruses can infect animals so this virus will be with us forever. We cannot hide from it.
4. Hydroxychloroquine was effective against the SARs COV-1 virus so the default should have been that it works for SARS COV-2 until proven otherwise.
5. Closing businesses and causing unemployment will result in stress related illnesses, suicides, and addiction.
6. Closing schools will harm children.

How much more information did you need to avoid all this stupidity?  This information alone was enough to determine that partial lockdowns, masks, and social distancing do not work.  That is why none of the pre-scamdemic public health emergency response included lockdowns.

To make matters worse only weeks in to the pandemic we discovered that 80% of people would never get this virus and that proper vitamin D levels dramatically reduced illness severity.  These 2 pieces of crucial information were never factored in to our ever changing scamdemic response.  If mistakes were made due to lack of information it was because we carefully avoided pertinent information.

I am not just Armchair quarterbacking with the benefit of hindsight.  I have posted articles on this blog on a daily basis for more than 2 years.  While not always right,  I have been right far more often than wrong.  Everything I have written was based on available science and independent data analysis.  I was not right for the wrong reasons.  I was right because I followed the science and the scientific method of inquiry; something anyone can do.

Screw you Emily.  I will not let you and the rest of the useful idiots whitewash your involvement in this scam.  You have just as much blood on your hands as Fauci.
