Trump Taps Anti-Fauci Stanford Doc for COVID Team
2020-08-12
The worst of the emoting snipped, as that is not useful information.
[RedState] At his presser yesterday, the President announced that Dr. Scott Atlas is joining his team of COVID-19 advisors.

He’s the former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center and now a senior fellow at Stanford’s ultra-prestigious Hoover Institution (where conservative luminaries Thomas Sowell and Victor Davis Hanson also reside).

But apart from his impeccable credentials, Dr. Atlas is one of the thousands of medical experts the Democrats and their media enablers don’t want you to know about who’ve been trying to put the breaks on the suicidal, anti-science response to COVID-19 they’ve conned us into following.

Way back on April 22, Dr. Atlas penned an op-ed in The Hill whose title couldn’t have been clearer:

The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation.

He explained five facts about COVID-19 that were already apparent from the data we had a month after lockdowns started.

Fact 1: The overwhelming majority of people do not have any significant risk of dying from COVID-19.
Fact 2: Protecting older, at-risk people eliminates hospital overcrowding.
Fact 3: Vital herd immunity is actually PREVENTED by total isolation policies, prolonging the problem.
Fact 4: People are dying from being denied other medical care due to hypothetical COVID-19 fatality projections that turned out to be garbage.
Fact 5: We have a clearly defined population at risk who can be protected with targeted measures.

If you’ve got 50 minutes to check out an in-depth interview, you can watch Dr. Atlas discuss the catastrophic medical consequences of lockdowns as well as correct some grave misconceptions that Fauci and his media enablers have encouraged about social distancing in an interview he did for his Hoover Institution colleague Peter Robinson’s Uncommon Knowledge series. (A great resource for conservatives in general, by the way.)

There’s also a shorter segment with Laura Ingraham.

#7  Wow, protecting 0.005% of people by locking up 99.95% who "could" be a risk to them (but the 0.005% rely on to fund them) is not a sensible idea!
