Footnote: A Brief Reminder to All Who 'Suggest' (Demand) a 'Pandemic Amnesty'

Or: historial analogies galore

A lot of people already weighed in on the notion of a ‘Pandemic Amnesty’. Without resorting to crude and distinctively family-unfriendly replies (which, don’t get me wrong, such an idea should be eliciting), a more succinct and poignant comment has been found.

Without much further ado, here it is, courtesy of friend-of-these-pages and ‘dissident journalist’ Thomas Oysmüller who currently publishes at tkp.at (in German); background on the bird dropping below the image:

Last time the pretence, ‘we didn’t know anything about it and didn’t do anything’ occurred only after the Russians made it to Berlin.

Should be different this time, though.
