Dr. Scott Atlas is widely censored for his position at Covid; I sat down Progeru CEO Marissa Streit talks about the views of the database of dissent during the pandemic, what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is wrong, and whether the inner facility can regain public trust.
Streit said that a previous interview she conducted with Atlas (where they discussed the community pandemic, vaccine mandate, masking and lockdown) was censored.
“Because all we talked about is data.[It’s] We make me a little scared to live in a country that refuses to allow facts to be said. It is worse than refusing to listen to dissent, as it is actually a suppression of fact. We cannot have a society that pretends that scientific data does not exist. ”
Atlas was asked if he expected an apology from those who attacked him in a now proven position.
He shared that a Stanford faculty senator issued his accusations. That's because he questioned the usefulness of masks. “At Stanford, there has been an effort at Stanford recently by reasonable people to get the blame back on that blame, and they voted for it.”
“We need to adjust ourselves too,” he continued. “We don't give up on telling the truth, but we need to accept that there are groups of people who don't admit that they're wrong, and we understand how we send out the message. It has to. And it's about doing something like you're doing here at Pragel and I'll keep talking.”

Atlas emphasized the importance of training young people early in his career, “involving them that truth is important.”
“I think most of them want the truth,” he said. “They represent the truth. They need to remove the fear of speaking up.”
He pointed out how ironic it is that the CDC took on the role of a true arbiter during the pandemic, but it was so wrong that it left a mass distrust.
“I would like to say that the era of trusting people and organizations based solely on qualifications and titles must come to an end,” he explained. “We need to be responsible adults for ourselves, for our children. We can read the information, we can discuss it, we can figure out what's right… but , you know, we need a free society to have a discussion.
Strike is optimistic as Dr. Jay Batacharya was chosen by President Donald Trump to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Marty McCurry was tapped for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). I asked Atlas if it was targeted.
“I'm cautiously optimistic,” he said. “Frankly, it's a toxic atmosphere. The so-called deep state is real.”
However, he added that “it's a completely different world” between Trump's first term and his second term in terms of public support. “Supporting people is very persuasive for the opposition,” he explained, adding, “I'll include the media, the media is part of the opposition to the Trump administration.”
He also noted the important role that Twitter (now X) functions in allowing free speech on these topics. Atlas describes X's owner Elon Musk as “the most important person in my lifetime freedom.”
Atlas called on the NIH, FDA and CDC to be more transparent to help rebuild public trust in these institutions. He also wants to see another process for research funding.
“We need to be accountable for funding,” he said. “This is the idea I gave — and I've heard Jay [Bhattacharya] It also has over 15 academic medical centers and universities, which are more than $5 billion per year in NIH funding. They need to ensure they are [allowing] Free speech, free scientific discussion. The essence of science and research is scientific discussion. And if they're transferring it with teacher accusations, why do they qualify US taxpayer money with songs that cost $500, $600, or $700 million each year? ”
He also wants to break the revolving door between directors of HHS, FDA, NIH and CDC and the private companies they regulate. Atlas said some people have left their government roles and are now joining the boards of companies that have quickly regulated them.
“It's unethical,” he said. “I proposed five years behind when I was able to work in the government and then as an employee or on the board of directors of a company in the health sector.”
“We need to restore trust,” he concluded. “By the way, there's no magic bullet in it, because it's very damaged.
