This. "The professor was not an uninterested bystander. Oster and her team had collected invaluable data on Covid cases in school settings for nearly a year starting in August 2020. The data also mapped differing interventions by state, county, and district – allowing a real-time lab of comparisons. Our team charted her data and found that students in masked schools had a 21 percent higher case rate than students in schools with no masks. Oster published a study coming to similar conclusions." She knew and she did nothing. That is not "mistakes were made, but not by me." That is mistakes were made and I was part of them. Furthermore, and with all due respect, the insinuation that those of us who decried the idiotic covid measures were correct because of luck is complete, unadulterated, Grade A, government-inspected feces. That is probably the part of this call for amnesty that chaps my shorts the most. The facts--about masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and pretty much all the other NPI's--were knowable and known, two damned years ago.
Oster didn't apologize, accept responsibility for her role, or request forgiveness.
It wasn't a personal mea culpa. She was lumping those of us who used our critical thinking (not luck) to make a medical decision with her Covidian Coven and the people behind them.
People lost their jobs, their homes, their businesses, their health, their friends, their families.
People are dead.
Oster and her ilk didn't make mistakes.
They made choices.
While some might have been motivated by fear, many were motivated by a lust for power and control.
Look, Ma, I'm sitting at the cool kids table with all the cool kids.
Emily Oster is a Good German.
We don't have to wonder any longer how the Holocaust happened. We know.
You are what you do. Own it, Emily.
There will be consequences for the people who did this to society.
And, really, she shouldn't be worried about us anti-vaxxer n'er-do-wells.
She should worry about the future when the majority of the multi-jabbed finally catch on to #diedsuddenly.
“ Oncologist reports note that nearly 50 percent of cancers went undiagnosed during the federal lockdowns because people were too scared to seek treatment.”
So this is the excuse being used now for the increase in cancer? Interesting. I’m sure it’s also helped increase all-cause mortality in their eyes.
At the end of every science article related to COVID, especially, you read this "The Atlantic’s COVID-19 coverage is supported by grants from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation." Chan Zuckerberg is Mark Zuckerberg's wife and obviously tied to Facebook which is not a medical authority. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is connected to the J&J vaccine...conflict of interest?? https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/coll... This organization is also funding vaccine projects......We also received $46,369 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in this quarter. SciCheck’s COVID-19/Vaccination Project is made possible by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. https://www.factcheck.org/our-funding/
Fauci...CCP, poTaytoe...poTahtoe. How are/were his tactics any different from theirs? And he likely helped give them the technology and experts to unleash this menace on society.
"The mortality impact on children is almost immeasurable" - not sure "immeasurable" is the right word here. "Infinitesimal" would be a better choice, or 'non-existent", "imperceptible", etc.
She is a cowardly douchebag from one of our disgraced academic institutions which provided zero intellectual or moral leadership during this time of crisis. Many universities—perhaps Brown—currently require students who are at extremely low risk from Covid to take a liability free vaccine which doesn’t prevent transmission to access an education. Shameful!

Why did Oster write the article?
Why did The Atlantic publish it?
Why now?
What do they know that we don't yet know?

How is it that those of us NOT in public health understood the following before the professor and her fellow travelers did?
Masking is useless. Anyone who used them while sanding sheetrock knew this.
Social distancing is absurd on its face for an airborne virus.
Vaccinating, even with a REAL vaccine, after a pandemic is underway is dangerous and counter productive.
We knew the science. The people in the public health realm who pushed the anti-science agenda should be fired and then prosecuted.
There is nothing Emily can do to redeem herself. She’s a total loser.

Should be "unmeasurable" rather than "immeasurable" when discussing mortality impact on children?
"The mortality impact on children is almost immeasurable" - not sure "immeasurable" is the right word here. "Infinitesimal" would be a better choice, or 'non-existent", "imperceptible", etc.
Oster's plea is not by happenstance and the reaction is being closely gaged.
She is a cowardly douchebag from one of our disgraced academic institutions which provided zero intellectual or moral leadership during this time of crisis.
