He lost me at this statement - Instead, we have witnessed a massive and ongoing loss of life in America due to distrust of vaccines

Expand full comment

A nice bit of window dressing ,suggesting that providing his mea culpa as a plea for general atonement ,yet rationalizing the Covid-19 "responses" as something that could have been better?

"Our approach alienated large segments of the population from what should have been a national, collaborative project." Really ? a national, collaborative project ??? On what basis? The "science" behind the supposed vaccines is a fraud, the CDC and FDA have lied and obstructed people who raised concerns about the program from day one, and he posits that we of the unwashed classes sought out " scientific contortionists" instead of trusting the WHO,UN,CDC,FDA etc ?

No, sorry to say but your apology is hollow--thank you for trying to speak out but you are " a day late and a dollar short" as the saying goes. (though what really is the angle when Newsweek of all propaganda organs runs it ? )

Here, I thought this guy was going to say something smart... then this:

"Instead, we have witnessed a massive and ongoing loss of life in America due to distrust of vaccines and the healthcare system;"

No, we've had millions die because of denied early treatment, and now, they're still being struck down because they DID TRUST the "vaccines". These indoctrinated turds never cease to amaze me.

This reads like a talking points memo on how to escape criticism of the injection, which is becoming louder and louder. The strategy is to put the spotlight on lesser aspects of government policy, such as mask mandates and the decision making process. What about the policy of mass “vaccination” with a product that is not safe and causes death?

I think these people who are suddenly changing their tune are continuing the psy-op. It’s to dampen our anger while making them look as if they still have truth and integrity. They still lead the narrative while deflating the opposition. A stage-managed controlled revealing of the truth to keep the masses under control.

But, and only when, those elitist group-think, know-it-all, self-appointed experts publicly admit the error of their ways and apologize for the immense travesty perpetuated; no, forced unconstitutionally, and with no iota of human compassion for their fellow citizens, upon the global society at large, will we ever entertain listening to, much less trusting ours and our children’s health and well-being to these smug, self righteousness bastards who were absolutely wrong! We, the people, are not stupid, conspiracy theorists! We can think for ourselves! We have rights which were blatantly ignored and trampled! And now, we demand accountability and justice for crimes committed, whether maliciously or ignorantly. Lives lost and/or forever damaged matter. There must be a reckoning! We will not forget!

is it me, or is there something patronizing about this article? he seems to be saying that the ruling class, in which he generously includes himself, made the mistake of misjudging the peasants. like here: "We believed "misinformation" energized the ignorant" and says that our "conspiracy theories" were fueled by The Science's inability to make us understand; after all, even with our scientific "illiteracy," they should have been able to reach us.

i'm getting pretty sick of these people- emily oster with her call for amnesty, sam harris saying that even if Bret Weinstein is right, he'll still be wrong because he was right at the wrong time, and now this guy, admitting that yes, it was our fault because we were so full of ourselves that we just couldn't convince those beneath us that we really did have a plan.

i'm willing to bet that the vaccines didn't save a single life. i know people who had covid before the vaccines came out and they recovered just fine. i also know people who died, not of covid, but because they went to the hospital and got slapped on ventilators. let's not even talk about how many old people were murdered by the nursing home policies enacted by Cuomo and Murphy and probably some other governors. Any reasonably capable 5 year old could have called that one.

i also know 4 people who i'm fairly certain were killed by the vaccine. not to mention the lost jobs (mine of 40 years for one), closed businesses, erosion of property rights. yeah, sure, the geniuses can analyze this with hindsight and excuse themselves for not getting things exactly right in the fog of war but as i said to the person who fired me over my refusal to take the vaccine, "i'm not interested in hindsight; i only care about foresight!"

sure, we can all wait around for 5 years for some study funded by pfizer to tell us that no more athletes are dropping dead than normal and it just appears that way because of slanted media coverage and they ate too many eggs anyway. then in 75 years when everyone is dead, the truth will come out and some president will apologize because it really was the vaccine wiping out a generation. or those of us who are "ignorant" but smarter than all of them and who KNOW RIGHT NOW IN REAL TIME that things are very wrong can scream it at the top of our lungs.

am i glad this article came out? yeah, i suppose it's a positive sign but...

"My motivation for writing this is simple: It's clear to me that for public trust to be restored in science, scientists should publicly discuss what went right and what went wrong during the pandemic, and where we could have done better."

NO!

These 'scientists' need to renounce their degrees, admit they unrepentantly were motivated by profit either directly or through receiving grant money. They cared only for money and 'things' of this world. Human lives were always expendable. Either collateral damage or intended consequence, the killing was the end result.

Who shall speak for the dead these 'scientists' created? The people they murdered?

There is no discussion. There are tribunals with death sentences for the guilty.

Banish them from work and human contact, place them in solitary confinement hard labor prisons with zero frills as they wait for trial and if found guilty of murder, sentence them to death in a public display recorded for those who will come after them.

Thus the scientists of the murder cult will see their self-chosen ultimate fate when they reemerge as they have through history.

The word "Lockstep" Scientific Community is missing from the title, imo. Leave the real scientists out of this. Like you have for the last 3 years. This blood is on your "The Scientists ^TM" hands.

Time to follow Katherine Watt’s lead and see Pfizer and Moderna as fronts for a military organized war on civilian populations….it goes deeper. This is a limited hang out, read:

It's a start but not close. They must get to the heart of the problem, the worship of vaccines.

i'm happy that it's in the CIA owned Newsweek magazine, but at this point i'm so skeptical about stuff like this, feels like we might be being played.

deaths were due to ‘distrust in vaccines’????? MOST DEATHS WERE DUE TO VACCINES!!!! EEEVVIIIILLLL!!!

the shilling and LYING never stops, neither does the condescending ‘u the uneducated and ur conspiracy theories’ - i mean these ppl will willfully and cowardly let millions die, but r still calling us brainwashed and uneducated.

Funny how i am a mere ‘uneducated’ language teacher, but i KNEW these injections would kill BEFORE any were in production, while the enlightened phd student was busy playing jim jones. why am i more aware of scientific data in his field than he is, if he is so smart?

psychopaths, even when trying to be fake sorry, they can’t help themselves from pointing out their deluded sense of relevance and self importance.

I am disgusted by this patronizing fake apology minimizing active participation in genocide.

I can only imagine the author trying to characterize the last three years in sufficiently vanilla terms to get published in Newsweek. Kudos to him for this important step. (That said it reads a bit like version 2.0 of the Emily Oster plea for pandemic amnesia.)

I recognize the falsehood that is the Idea of “ the” virus. Any reference to it or to the countermeasure to a bioweapon( best known as jab, as it is Not a vaccine), is equally false. Any distraction from the full knowledge of this basic truth is part of the Big Lie.
