The incredible story of how Mike Pence and Deborah Birx sabotaged President Trump's COVID response.
They ignored the data and pushed irrational fear, totalitarian lockdowns, and devastating school closures behind his back.
"The risk to children was known to be very minuscule, but it was very harmful to close schools."
"During Spring 2020 school closures alone, 300,000 cases of child abuse were not noticed because schools are the number one agency where child abuse is reported."
"There was an explosion of suicidal ideation. 1 out of 4 college-age kids was thinking of killing themselves."
"The argument I was making was that the collateral harms from the lockdowns would be so bad for the health of the population that they would far outweigh whatever lives would be saved by the lockdowns themselves."

It's crazy how incompetent and unscientific Fauci and Birx were, yet they were in charge of COVID policy.
Scott Atlas would show up to meetings with stacks of scientific papers, studies, and data, while Fauci and Birx would show up with nothing and have no scientific arguments or data to defend their positions on lockdowns, school closures, and zero COVID.
It's terrifying that the federal government's COVID policy was decided without data by the unscientific whims of a few bureaucrats, and the majority of our institutions, media, and society went along despite the glaring issues in the data.
Thanks for turning on notifications. I've been less active these last few weeks while I work on a project.
