The thing that really gets to me with this Covid amnesty plea is a subject that the Covid lemmings glossed over -- the lab leak theory.
Now, perhaps the original author for the Atlantic didn't specifically throw the word "racist" at anybody who suggested that the virus may have originated in a lab herself; but, a whole fucking lot of you did. Now, it turns out that those of us who thought that it may have been a lab leak were probably right.
We haven't even gotten a "sowwie" from them. You could have just been dismissive of the idea. You could have just said that you think that we were off our rockers. No, you decided to go full liberal arts college and call us racists, with no basis for that accusation, all because you were wrong, you knew that you might be wrong, and it was easier for you to slander us than it was for you to deal with the possibility that you might be wrong.
Now, you want us to treat you like you just simply got it wrong. No, that's not the problem. The problem is that you all are a bunch of totalitarian dick bags.
