An NYU Professor went on Bill Mahr’s show to talk about who knows what, but the clip we have is him trying to beg forgiveness for the unnecessary nightmarish policies imposed by him and others. He admits he was wrong in hindsight, and now he’s looking for something he never gave us.
“We were all operating with imperfect information and we were doing our best.”
I beg to differ. There was a wealth of data, collected and crunched by every state, that made it clear very early on that there was no risk to kids in public schools or their teachers.
“I was on the board of my kids’ school during COVID. I wanted a harsher lockdown policy. In retrospect: I was wrong. The damage to kids of keeping them out of school longer was greater than the risk. But here’s the bottom line: We were doing our best. But let’s give a little grace and forgiveness for the shit show that was COVID.”
But Scott Galloway, NYU professor, is asking that we learn from it, hold each other accountable, but bring a little grace and forgiveness into the sh!t show…”
How about, F*** Off, Scott, you tyrannical piece of garbage. You don’t get to be the way you were and act like you spilled a glass of milk – from ZeroHedge.
The question that we need to ask Galloway is: How forgiving was he when confronted with people who opposed his authoritarianism? Galloway was rabidly pro-mandate. He consistently called for harsher punishments for people refusing to comply and he demanded that the unvaccinated be treated as second tier citizens banned from places of business. As he argued in his blog titled ‘Half Of America Has Its Head Up Its Ass. It’s Time For A Vaccine Mandate’:
“Enough already. Federal law should require any citizen who wants to cash a government check, use public transport, or enter a place of business to show proof of vaccination…”
Galloway cited the ever present inflated CDC data on covid deaths in America as the justification for his authoritarian position. Of course, data was available not long after the spread of covid indicating that the Infection Fatality Rate of the virus was a tiny 0.23% and that 99.8% of the population (including the unvaccinated) had nothing to fear. Not only that, but the CDC has recently and quietly published information showing that around 95% of people who died with covid also had one or more comorbidities and 75% had at least four – Meaning, if you did not have multiple comorbidities your chances of dying from covid were incredibly small.
To summarize, we did learn from it. COVID was a test. You failed. Not just you. Millions of people with power and influence were too eager to abuse power and stomp on people’s rights.
You can’t just come back from that and say sorry.
