Guest Post by Ron Paul
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 time: shutting down the country to fight a cold virus.
That’s why we’ll take good news wherever we can get it, and President Trump’s 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! You must 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 wreak on the economy and on 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 Institution he also understands the policy implications of locking a country down.
On April 22, 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 were 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.
North Dakota and Sweden did virtually nothing to lock down or restrict their populations and they actually fared better than lockdown states in the US. They had lower death rates, their hospitals were never over-run 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. With Fauci out of the driver’s seat we finally have a chance of turning things around.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Better late than never, I suppose.
I’m way past tired of being Fauci’d.
He will be announcing his joining the MSNBC team sometime this afternoon.
Fauci et all are premeditated murders for banning HCQ and should be prosecuted or we owe the Nazis an apology. Now please Fire Israel’s replacement for the Traitor Henry Kissinger (Mr 666 Jared Kushner).
It’s not Dr. Fauci’s fault that the Covid infected decided to die before Bill Gates wonderful vaccine was available.

Make sure his ole lady, the crown princess of New Jewrusalem goes with him.
The nicest way I can possibly put this is: “Good riddance, you murderous bastard.”
This really is good news. In fact, it’s the best news I’ve heard from the government in eons. Surely Dr. Atlas won’t be as obnoxious or brain dead as Fauci.
WOW!!! I just have to ask…………………….At this point, WHAT DIFFERNCE DOES IT MAKE???? Another distraction to soothe the cognitive dissonance Fauci and company created while they destroyed the world……………………This article is for those who are still drinking the Kool-Aid, still thinking we gonna go back to the OLD normal, bwhaahahahahah there is no turning this train around it has gone off the tracks and is at the bottom of very huge ravine smoking and burning, no survivors and if there are any no one is going after them……………….
It’s South Dakota, not North Dakota that did NOT lock down. Please correct your article.
South Dakota is properly listed in Ron Paul’s own article on his website.
Dr Grouchy’s understanding of Immunology is 30 years behind the learning curve. Glad to see him go. I hope his replacement has more sense.
Oh, how much different this country could have been had the R’s not given Dr Paul the shaft. I believe he was truly the last chance to save the republic.
Unfortunately the medical advice of Neel Kashkari from The Fed, rather than Dr. Atlas, will ultimately decide the public health measures that The Evil Fuckers will impose on the sheeple of the U.S.A. and indeed the world.
Let’s not forget that Fauci is also responsible for putting
an AIDS-like virus (murine endogenous retroviruses) in
many (mandated) vaccines–AND–in the blood supply
in the 1980’s. When molecular biologist Dr. Judy Mikovits
discovered this and published her findings, Fauci went
ballistic and demanded her research notes. When she
refused, he had her kidnapped, put in jail (without
charges) for five days and continued his attempt to
distroy her. Her story reads like a crime novel! She’s
written two books about it–“Plague” and “Plague
of Corruption.”
Here’s a great interview with Dr. Atlas.
