What was really happening behind closed doors inside the White House Coronavirus Task Force in 2020? In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Dr. Scott Atlas, former advisor to President Donald Trump and author of A Plague Upon Our House, shares his months in the White House and his clashes with Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and former CDC Director Robert Redfield — the group Atlas dubbed the “troika.” Dr. Atlas recounts challenging COVID policies on lockdowns, school closures, mass testing, natural immunity, and masking, and how, despite providing clear scientific data at task force meetings, Fauci, Birx, and Redfield repeatedly failed to substantively engage with the evidence he presented. They also dive into PCR testing and COVID case counts, the classification of COVID hospitalizations and deaths, the devastating consequences of lockdown policies, and why bureaucratic culture and cognitive dissonance helped prevent public health officials from acknowledging mistakes. Atlas also weighs in on recent revelations surrounding Fauci, questions about the origins of COVID-19 and U.S.-funded gain-of-function research, and why Robert Redfield’s more recent criticism of pandemic policy shouldn’t erase the CDC’s role in the 2020 response. Dr. Atlas addresses one of COVID’s most lasting consequences: the collapse of public trust in medicine and public health — and why Americans should become more willing to question doctors, demand to see the data, and think critically about their own healthcare decisions.
