During the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of prominent scientists challenged the prevailing government approach to lockdowns. The Lockdown Dissidents tells the story of researchers like Jay Bhattacharya, Scott Atlas, and Robert Redfield—voices who say they were sidelined and censored when they questioned the public health consensus.
When Fauci talked, he started his talk by telling the American public he's the lead public health person in the United States. And I had just spoken and I was CDC director, and I went to him afterwards. I said, "Tony, I mean, what's that all about? I mean, you're you run a lab at NIH, you know.
But he clearly felt that he had to take that position ... "This guidance for the next 15 days is what our experts say."
The President left the pandemic response up to the states. But the taskforce strongly recommended lockdowns. Bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed. Stay in your homes. Social distancing of 6 ft because if it looks like you're overreacting, you're probably doing the right thing.
Everyone was to stay at home, wear masks, maintain f feet of social distancing, and schools and businesses were shuttered. Decisions with a massive impact for working parents and for all the children now spending the school day at home....

I remember what a breath of fresh air this was. Jay B. and co. were vindicated, but almost entirely forgotten by the deMSM.

Don't forget tornado response. We had a tornado in Chattanooga in April and I worked with a ton of strangers helping people get to their house or get it secured. No covid spike.

As someone who routinely taught 40-hour respiratory protection training courses; I knew COVID was a joke when cloth and dust covering face pieces were allowed. N95 respiratory protection should have been the minimum protection required.

Whereas children, there were no deaths or almost no deaths.
Dozens of very similar studies came out in location after location after location all around the world. And we were spot on in the middle of all those studies. The study in Santa Clara showed that this virus was far more widespread than people understood, which showed two important conclusions to be made.
One was that it's already widespread. You don't lock down after something's widespread. Even if a lockdown would work. But that's one of the reasons why lockdowns don't work, is because it's already widespread. Secondly, the infection fatality rate was much lower.
The Santa Clara study was the first empirical evidence that lockdowns were the wrong strategy. Not that the epidemic wasn't deadly, but that lockdowns, school closures, social distancing, and the rest wouldn't work. Europe took note, at least in terms of school closures.
At the end of April and the beginning of May, countries in Europe began reopening their schools and the education ministers from um these different countries met at the EU and they said, "We've observed no obvious negative consequences of opening schools." They met a second time in June and they had the same determination. I thought this would be on the front pages of every newspaper. This would be on every um cable news network.
This was the news we were waiting for. We were told that we couldn't follow what Europe did. If they mentioned Europe at allhe, wn it was mentioned, it was dismissed.
