Atlas Strength

We know you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
But we're on guard this time
Against your final solution
--Red Rider

President Trump's appointment of Dr Scott Atlas of the Stanford biomedicine group to his White House CV19 team strikes fear into the authoritarian lockdown crowd. Not surprisingly, the appointment has fostered smear pieces from the mainstream media aimed at discrediting Atlas.

Fact checking Dr. Atlas’s reported views from the lede of @nytimes’s hit piece: True, mask wearing is uncertain (at best); not-quite-true (kids spread the virus, but rarely); true, lockdowns have failed.

It won't work.

If Atlas is able to wrestle the podium away from Anthony Fauci and broadly share his evidence-based approach with the American people, then the game is up for the lockdown crowd.

Let's hope that Atlas intends to flex his strength.
