Hoover Institution | The Politicization of Science: Failed Lockdowns and Flawed Policies | HISPBC Ch.1 (Atlas) @HooverInstitution | Uploaded 4 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
Hoover Senior Fellow, Scott Atlas, presents data demonstrating how lockdowns and school closures imposed enormous social, economic, and even physical destruction and failed to reduce COVID-19 mortality or case growth. These policies, implemented by two presidential administrations, and supported by many public health experts, caused avoidable deaths, disproportionately harmed low-income families and children, and damaged public trust in science and health institutions. Atlas asserts that a targeted protection approach focusing on protecting high-risk groups while allowing low-risk groups to resume normal activities would have been a safer and more effective strategy.
