I read the recent Atlantic article calling for Pandemic Amnesty, for all of us “to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about Covid.” The problem with that call is that there are those who knowingly lied to us and violated the laws. They were not in the dark. They violated the Nuremberg Code, designed to stop us from repeating literal Nazi practices. Some sent the sick to nursing homes to kill the elderly in job lots. Others demanded we stop giving medical treatments that worked. They shut down hospitals, businesses, schools, parks, and beaches. They demanded we take experimental injections and banned us from our livelihoods if we did not. Justice must stand, or amnesty will merely be permission to do all of it again.
