The daughter of one of my oldest and best friends is a Congressional intern. She recently attended a lecture on Capitol Hill by Drs. Scott Atlas and Jay Bhattacharya. The topic was “COVID Misinformation”.

Scott Atlas, M.D. is the Robert Wesson Senior Fellow in health care policy at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. From 1998 to 2012 he was a professor and chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center. He served as a senior advisor to presidential campaigns in 2008, 2012 and 2016.

Jay Bhattacharya, M.D. is a professor of medicine at Stanford University Medical School and Director of Stanford’s Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging. He was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration which opposed the general lockdown of society during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lecture was sponsored by The Fund for American Studies, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C.. Its stated mission is “to win over each new generation to the ideas of liberty, limited government and free markets.”

At my friend’s request, his daughter sent me a video link to the lecture. It runs about an hour and is at once captivating, fascinating and infuriating. These distinguished physicians explain the response of the government-led medical establishment to the pandemic and, in the process, expose the misinformation that was fed to the public by those in authority and the unnecessary and avoidable harm that their course of action caused.
