Forgiveness does not mean no accountability.

The Muslims practice 8 steps to Atonement that can be applied to any situation and below is a modified version that applies to the COVID19 issue. Unfortunately, THEY now want to skip to #6 without performing steps 1-5.

1. Someone must point out the wrong (The resisters have now exposed the criminals!)
2. Acknowledgement of wrong (This is the next step, not asking for forgiveness before you ADMIT wrong. As many people who were pressured to take the Jab should be as many people who hear and know that those who pushed the Jab were wrong. Wrong doers must be prosecuted, assets seized, and incarcerated)
3. Confess the fault; first to God, then to those offended
4. Repentance; a feeling of remorse or contrition or shame for the past conduct which was wrong and sinful
5. Atonement; meaning to make amends and reparations for the wrong (Redistribute confiscated assets, and help the injured)

6. Forgiveness by the offended party; to cease to feel offense and resentment against another for the harm done
7. Reconciliation and restoration; meaning to become friendly and peaceable again
8. Perfect union with God and with each other

Forgiveness is the only way to end the maladies that are affecting our society.
