Fauci's Out! Good News?

| Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. | |
| Good news. | |
| Fauci's out and common sense might be returning. | |
| These days it seems there is not much good news out there. | |
| People are still panicked over the coronavirus. | |
| Governments are still trampling civil liberties in the name of fighting the virus. | |
| The economy already teetering on the edge of collapse has been kicked to the ground by what history may record as one of the worst man-made disasters of all times, shutting down the country to fight a cold virus. | |
| That's why we'll take good news whenever we can get it. | |
| And President Trump hiring of Dr. Scott Atlas to his coronavirus task force may just be that good news we need. | |
| As the media has reported, President Trump has sidelined headline hogging Anthony Fauci in favor of Atlas, the former Stanford University Medical Center chief of neuroradiology. | |
| Recall, Fauci was the expert who told us a few months ago that we would never be able to shake hands again. | |
| Fauci's advice, forecasts, and assessments proved to be wildly wrong. | |
| Contradictory and just plain bizarre. | |
| Don't wear a mask. | |
| Masks are important as symbols. | |
| Put on goggles, stay home. | |
| Churches must be severely restricted, but Black Lives Matter marches and encounters with strangers met over the internet are perfectly fine. | |
| When Anthony Fauci demanded a lockdown of the economy for an indefinite period, he actually seemed oblivious to the havoc it would wreck on the economy and on the people's lives. | |
| People like Fauci and others who demanded lockdowns and stay-at-home orders were still collecting their paychecks. | |
| So what did they care about anyone else? | |
| Dr. Scott Atlas is not only a former top physician and hospital administrator, as a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, he also understands the policy implications of locking a country down. | |
| On April 22nd, Dr. Atlas wrote an op-ed in the Hill titled, The Data is In Stop the Panic and End the Total Isolation. | |
| In the article, he made five main points that are as true today as when he wrote them. | |
| An overwhelming majority of people are at no risk of dying from COVID. | |
| Protecting older people prevents hospital overcrowding. | |
| Locking down a population actually prevents the herd immunity necessary to defeat the virus. | |
| People are dying because they are not being treated for non-COVID illnesses. | |
| We know what part of the population is at risk and we can protect them. | |
| Imagine how many thousands of lives could have been saved had the administration listened to Dr. Atlas back in April. | |
| CDC Director Robert Redfield admitted last month that lockdowns are killing more Americans than COVID. | |
| First, Do No Harm was thrown out the window and nearly six months of wrong-headed policy has done perhaps irreparable harm to the country. | |
| South Dakota and Sweden did virtually nothing to lock down or restrict their populations and they actually fared better than lockdown states in the United States. | |
| They had lower death rates, their hospitals were never overrun with COVID patients, and they have an economy to go back to. | |
| We very much hope that Dr. Atlas will not moderate his message to please the blob in Washington. | |
| Trump's COVID policies to this point have caused more harm than good. | |
| Without you out of the driver's seat, we finally have a chance of turning things around. | |
