Dr. Scott Atlas presented compelling data indicating that schools should be reopened and that children were not major factors in the spread of the virus. Fauci and others acted as though he had never spoken.
“As I finished, there was silence,” Atlas wrote in his book A Plague Upon Our House. “No one offered any contrary data. Zero comments from Dr. Birx. Nothing from Dr. Fauci. And, as always, not a single mention by Birx or Fauci about the serious harms of school closures.”
“The idea of stopping all businesses and closing schools while quarantining healthy young people at little risk from a disease in order to protect those aged seventy and over — that is simply irrational,” he wrote.
