=== Lockdown's Deadly Consequences (01:56) ===

[00:00:02]  Fear is very powerful.
[00:00:04]  And they bought into it because it was temporary.
[00:00:07]  For the younger populations, the lockdown is way more harmful than COVID. I got an email from someone who said, Dear Dr.
[00:00:15]  Atlas, thank you for everything you've been saying.
[00:00:18]  I'm writing you today because my husband killed himself.
[00:00:25]  What's going on here?
[00:00:26]  When push came to shove, they advocated policies that have not worked against the virus, but have been very, very destructive.
[00:00:33]  This is not an inconvenience.
[00:00:35]  This is a matter of life and death.
[00:00:38]  Within 24 hours, we informed the governor, and immediately the governor said, make it happen.
[00:00:45]  He's showing the public what his advisors are telling him.
[00:00:50]  He looked at the science.
[00:00:51]  He looked at the data.
[00:00:53]  The lockdowns were really a departure from what the typical scientific recommendations had been for pandemics.
[00:01:00]  The American spirit, the independent American, where are these people?
[00:01:04]  This is bad for our country.
[00:01:07]  Every single fact that I discussed was edited out.
[00:01:13]  Union thugs would come and try to break up some of my press conferences.
[00:01:17]  If you had been infected, then you...
[00:01:24]  But the decisions that he made are not just impulsive.
[00:01:27]  He knows what he wants to do.
[00:01:29]  He wants to do the right things.
[00:01:30]  I think Governor DeSantis was a big part of that.
[00:01:33]  I don't mind people swinging at me.
[00:01:35]  A leader is elected to lead.
[00:01:37]  I'd rather them beat up on me than have someone lose their job.
[00:01:41]  This is an enormous tragedy.
[00:01:46]  Now Google, YouTube has not been, throughout this pandemic, repositories of truth and scientific inquiry.
[00:01:56]  He doesn't back down from a challenge.
