Video Transcript AI Summary
Lockdowns failed to stop the spread of the virus or prevent deaths, according to data from various studies. They also caused significant harm to children and are projected to lead to an additional 900,000 to 1,200,000 American deaths due to economic fallout. If the U.S. had followed Sweden's approach, there would have been 1,600,000 fewer deaths. The responsibility for the lockdowns lies with those who implemented them, including federal officials and experts who rejected alternative strategies like targeted protection. This was fundamentally a health policy issue, and the focus should have been on mitigating both the virus's impact and the consequences of the lockdowns. I was the only health policy scholar on the White House task force, dedicated to addressing both aspects of this crisis.

Speaker 0: Lockdowns were instituted. They failed to stop the dying. They failed to stop the spread. That's the data. 2020 1, Ben David, 2021, Agerwall, 2021, Herbie, 2022, 2023, 2024.
And, yes, lockdowns also inflicted massive damage on children and literally killed people. Bianchi, over the next 15 to 20 years, the unemployment alone will cause 900,000 to 1,200,000 extra American deaths from the economic lockdown, not the virus. Ioannidis, the US would have had 1,600,000 fewer deaths if it had the performance of Sweden. All judgment of the US response lies at the hands of the lockdowners. Birx, who wrote the official federal Trump policy to every governor before, during, and after my three and a half months in Washington.
Fauci, Redfield, the CDC, the university experts, including at Stanford, who convinced officials to implement their lockdowns. Unfortunately, my advice, targeted protection, was rejected with rare exceptions like Florida. Declaration. Remember, lockdowns were not caused by the virus. Human beings decided to do lockdowns.
They own the results. Their lockdowns were implemented. Those policies killed and destroyed millions. That's fact. That's the data.
This was a health policy problem. Virology is not health policy. Epidemiology is not health policy. Those are only pieces of a larger, more complicated puzzle. The stunning fact, I was the only health policy scholar on the White House task force, the only one focused on stopping both the death and destruction from the virus and the death and destruction from the policy itself.
That's health policy. That's my field.

NEVER AGAIN vote for these dangerous ppl🙏 "some governors ordered COVID pts placed back into nursing homes, the tinderbox of hi-risk. Cuomo did that (3/25/20), but other states did too - Minn (Walz), PA, Mich, NJ, CA. That action almost certainly killed many people."↪️ https://t.co/z1m7Dxhpjc
Video Transcript AI Summary
The COVID select committee has referred former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for criminal prosecution, citing evidence that he knowingly covered up COVID death numbers in nursing homes to avoid scrutiny from the Trump administration. Doctor Scott Atlas emphasizes the need for accountability, describing the situation as a significant public health failure that resulted in many deaths. He notes that Cuomo's controversial order to return COVID-positive patients to nursing homes was not unique, as other states like Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey implemented similar policies. In Minnesota, a significant percentage of COVID patients were sent to nursing homes, leading to a high proportion of deaths in those facilities. Atlas criticizes the incompetence of these governors, asserting that their decisions contributed to the loss of lives.

Speaker 0: The COVID select committee announced this morning that it has referred the former disgraced governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, for criminal prosecution. This comes after congressman Brad Wenstrup, the COVID pandemic chairman, states that there is enough evidence to show governor Andrew Cuomo willingly and knowingly covered up the number COVID deaths in nursing homes. The evidence presented by the select committee points to the fact that governor Cuomo, in their words, lowballed New York COVID death numbers to avoid the ire of the Trump justice department. Joining us now is doctor Scott Atlas. He is senior fellow in health policy at the Hoover Institution and a former Trump White House adviser in the coronavirus task force.
Doctor Atlas, what do you think about this, this committee and their referral?
Speaker 1: Now thanks for having me. I mean, I I think this is, in a broad sense, we're gonna say about time, meaning we need accountability for what was done. And what was done was really the biggest fiasco in healthcare, public health, in modern history, really. And people died because of it, millions of people. And so, this is one, I think, small step for accountability.
Now here, my understanding is they're they're, accusing governor former governor Cuomo of lying under oath to Congress, which, of course, seems to be very common, and often typically escapes punishment. So that's good. The big issue here is what I think is the most important thing, and and that isn't just that he may or may not have lied or distorted numbers of deaths in nursing homes. The big issue is everyone, probably remembers is that some governors ordered COVID patients to be placed back into nursing homes, which, of course, are the tinder box for death and high risk people. The very people who have the highest risk, a very high risk to die from the virus.
And this, I want to point out a couple things, if I may. Number 1, yes, Cuomo did that. In fact, March 25, 2020 was the order to place COVID positive patients after discharge back into nursing homes. But other states did this, too. And they don't get the attention.
Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey, California, all in March, April, May 2020 directly placed COVID positive patients from hospitals back into nursing homes and that action almost certainly killed many people. In fact, in Minnesota, there's data from May 2020. This is, Governor Tim Walz's state, by the way. 27% of COVID patients from hospital discharge went directly into nursing homes. Okay.
And, in fact, during May, June 2020, more than 80% of deaths in the state of Minnesota were nursing home deaths from COVID. So these governors were grossly incompetent, and that doesn't even begin to describe it. They killed people with their policies.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker questions the lack of transparency regarding the sharing of royalties by officials at the CDC, NIH, and FDA who are responsible for approving drugs and vaccines. They mention that Congress needs to enforce full disclosure to eliminate conflicts of interest. The speaker reveals that NIH researchers have received significant amounts of money, but the details are not disclosed. They also highlight their unsuccessful attempts to obtain nonclassified records of NIH grants. The lack of action from the Department of Justice and Democrats further complicates the situation.

Speaker 0: It's sort of shocking if the public would really understand that people in the CDC, the NIH, and the FDA share in royalties for drugs that they are in charge of approving and disapproving competitors potentially. Is there a way that congress we don't even have full disclosure. Through the NIH does not, reveal the details of, say, for instance, doctor Fauci's sharing of royalties. What is congress doing or what can they do to force sort of full disclosure and eliminate those royalty sharing conflicts?
Speaker 1: Well, I asked Tony Fauci this directly in committee. Did anybody on the committees that approved the vaccines actually receive royalties from the companies that manufacture the vaccines? This should be the basic sub conflict of interest that should be revealed. And he basically told me it was none of my business, which by extension means that he believes it's none of the public's business. Open records and FOIA requests have gone in, and we have discovered that it's not an insignificant amount of people.
1,000 of NIH researchers have received 1,000,000 of dollars. I think one tally was 3,000 scientists, a $193,000,000, but they will not reveal which scientists got the money, how much and from whom. And so I've asked directly, you know, if you're on the committee approving of a vaccine, wouldn't you have to reveal if you got royalties from Pfizer Who manufactures the vaccine or Moderna, and they won't reveal this. They point to a law from the 19 eighties, the Birch Dole law. But my staff has read that law, and their interpretation of law is there is no restriction.
But we're at an impasse without a Department of Justice that will do anything without Democrats. And while you You have to realize, I've been trying for 3 years to get nonclassified records of NIH grants revealed to me by my own government, and they've refused steadfastly. And Democrats have refused to step up to sign letters.

Speaker 0: In 2020, whatever one thinks of Donald Trump, the fact that 4 prosecutors may have 500 indictments I mean, Charles Manson didn't earn 500 indictments. So it's a it's a use of the levers of government to warp elections and to be exempt from the consequences of their, activity. We've had 4 subsequent FBI directors. They all have one thing in common. Robert Mueller misled the country when under oath.
He said he didn't know what fusion GPS or steel were. And then, of course, James Comey claimed amnesia 245 times under oath. And Andrew McCabe, admittedly, by his own admission, lied 4 times to federal investigators, and then Christopher Wray has just been stonewalling. They all have one thing in common. There were no sequences.
That's a threat to democracy.
Speaker 1: Right. And I think this is yeah. To me, this this is the The threat to democracy is when the people in power, whether elected or not, really, Have no accountability to the people. No accountability. And and because to me, the the accountability, The the the founding of the country, is based upon limitations in the by of the people in power.
Right? I mean, this is this this part of the limitation is the accountability and accountability by election Isn't enough. We need to have accountability. So how do how do we ensure accountability? I mean, one of the ways, and I think these have been lost and this is I'd like to get your thoughts on the accountability, from my, lifetime has been, Number 1, the investigative journalism side of things.
Speaker 0: Yes. That's
Speaker 1: one way. Has always been a lever Insisting and holding these people in power to account. That's that to me has been gone, Has been removed because the media is is is a gross failure in being a objective truth seeking body. Similarly, the the courts have been politicized. I mean, the these to me are the, the real threats To democracy, whereas the people who keep claiming that people like Trump are threats to democracy or electing Republicans is a threat to democracy, That claim is is simply, overtly self contradictory because they're claiming that Democratic outcomes are threats to democracy.
