DR. SCOTT ATLAS LOCKDOWNS "Lockdowns were harmful. They were the opposite of what should have been done. We said it from the beginning. And there's a massive price to pay it's not just that they failed to stop the infection. The lockdowns actually killed people, destroyed lives, destroyed families. And, in the schools, our country more than any other country, frankly, was willing to sacrifice its children out of fear." OPENING SCHOOLS “It is really unconscionable that there are any schools that are not in person. The data was in last spring. It’s been validated by studies at Duke University, Brown University, and all over the world. Kids have extremely low risk from covid-19 and there are enormous harms from keeping schools closed. There were hundreds of thousands of child abuse cases not reported. There’s children’s nutritional needs. All of these things are worse for lower & middle income families.” SCHOOL MASKING “There’s no scientific rationale or logic to have children wear mask in schools.” MASKING “The empirical evidence from looking at places that used mask mandates shows there was no evidence that a mask mandate was effective in stopping cases from spreading. Moreover, there’s a large study from Denmark that shows mask did not reduce infections with any statistical significance. There is no evidence that a mask mandate has worked. In fact, the people in the US have been wearing mask at a very high frequency for months and the cases exploded.” MEDIA COVERAGE “The American media is different from most of the world. There’s a study which quantified how much negative media was being produced about the pandemic and in the English-speaking media outside the US, there was about 53% negative press coverage. Inside the US, 90% of the coverage about the pandemic was negative. The media is reckless when they incite fear like that. There’s a responsibility of the media that really has been abandoned.” SOCIAL MEDIA “In the town-square of today, it wasn’t just attack mode, it was also overt censorship. I had my own YouTube interviews about schools opening pulled down. Various tweets were censored. I think many of us have had that happen. This is very harmful. The power of media to just overtly control what is even said. When you extend that to the rebukes of speaking against the narratives, we interfere with the process to achieve the truths that we need to seek and this is a huge problem.” HERD IMMUNITY “There was a complete rejection of decades of fundamental knowledge about biology and immunology. We have decades of experience with coronaviruses. Fundamental biology says that if you get an infection from a virus it’s highly likely you will have some sort of protection. Data from Singapore showed a robust t-cell response and a cross-protection mechanism. This is first-year medical school stuff yet if you said that you were pilloried. Decades of information and basic biological phenomenon were thrown out and became controversial.”
