Check out this mea culpa from a Doctor who used to support mask mandates and lockdowns.
I find this extraordinary on several levels. It takes some real integrity, and balls, to admit you were so completely wrong about such a bitterly contentious issue and to publicly apologize for it. And this was a real apology. No excuses. No blame shifting. No what-about-isms. Just a total concession he was wrong, and an apology to those he maligned.
Do not expect any of the left wing politicians or media to own up in a similar way. Their whole self-image is based on being the smart ones. The people who follow (and understand) “the science.” To admit they were wrong about such a huge issue would just crush them. Worse, they would have to admit the demonization and mocking of their political enemies was unjustified. And all of their preening, virtue signaling, and hysterical shaming were totally baseless. Definitely a bridge too far for their fragile egos.
