Lots of things I take issue with in this letter. Too many to list and I’m too tired to do it right now.
Let’s just say it sounds like a bunch of crocodile tears and these fuckers still don’t understand (or pretend not to understand) the severity of what they supported and, therefore, the severity of the justice that needs to be imposed upon them to rebalance the scales.
“We’re sorry” isn’t going to cut it, not by a mile. No, there needs to be military tribunals to punish blatant, overt human rights violations. God, and even we can forgive, but lady justice’s job is specifically not to forgive, but rather to take an eye for an eye and offer restitution at the expense of the criminal perpetrators.
None of this shit will even begin to approach the possibility of “being OK” until justice is served, and an “apology” for this shit - even if genuine (which this is not) - will never serve as a sufficient replacement for justice.
EDIT: The comments in the actual referenced article are pure gold and definitely worth reading: https://www.newsweek.com/its-time-scientific-community-admit-we-were-wrong-about-coivd-it-cost-lives-opinion-1776630
Lot's of talk about "justice" and "human rights" and "Nuremberg code."
I think the public sentiment is getting where it needs to be, slowly but surely.
