Dr. Scott Atlas, onetime member of former President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 task force, said that Dr. Anthony Fauci worked hard to undermine the Republican president and greatly misled the American public over the coronavirus pandemic. What are the details?

During a recent interview with the Daily Signal podcast, Atlas — a radiologist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University — said that Fauci, former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, and former director of the CDC Dr. Robert Redfield were to blame for the woeful response to the pandemic.

In his latest book, “A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America,” Atlas wrote, “The American people need to know the level of incompetence, the lack of rigor, the lack of critical thinking. I was stunned at what I saw. We had bureaucrats in charge of the policy and that policy was the restrictions and lockdowns. And it failed.” “From your vantage point, both in the White House, when you were working on the task force, and since then, what is the most egregious example of where individual and academic freedom came under attack?” the Daily Signal’s Rob Bluey asked Atlas during the interview.

Atlas said that he experienced the suppression of academic and individual freedom firsthand — and that he experienced an inherent bias against him simply for helping Trump in an advisory capacity.

“I was asked to help the president in the biggest health care crisis in the century, and as a health policy at expert and a medical scientist for 25 years, and more in the decade of full-time work in health policy, I said yes,” he told Bluey. “It had nothing to do with politics.

Who is Atlas in this scenario?

My meaning being our Dr Scott Atlas shrugged. Instead of speaking up to the American people about what was really going on at a time that might have made a difference he shrugged and decided to make money off a book about it instead.

OK, I understand. You are correct. Too many Americans shrugged instead of fighting back. We witnessed this with the masks last year. Sickening.

It’s past dystopian at this point and getting worse on every level you can imagine. There’s such an escalation to the ratcheting incrementalism of tyranny going on that unfortunately most people don’t have the time to even think about it let alone do anything about it while just trying to survive at this point. The time will come though when one way or another the hard choices no one wants to make now will have to be made. None of this is going to be pleasant for anybody for some time to come I’m afraid. The pain that can be put upon us yet hasn’t even begun.
