“Anyone who dissented from the lockdown narrative was smeared or censored. The president’s advisors were petrified of the media—a ‘despicable group of unprincipled liars,’ writes Atlas—and feared a public backlash if any of the three stooges were removed from their government sinecures. Mark Meadows and other senior advisors were laser-focused on the upcoming election and reminded Atlas on more than one occasion to not ‘rock the boat.’ In the meantime, more people died from a failed lockdown strategy the president opposed but could not stop.”

What really happened behind the scenes at the Trump White House during the COVID pandemic?
When Dr. Scott W. Atlas was tapped by Donald Trump to join his COVID Task Force, he was immediately thrust into a maelstrom of scientific disputes, policy debates, raging egos, politically motivated lies, and cynical media manipulation. Numerous myths and distortions surround the Trump Administration’s handling of the crisis, and many pressing questions remain unanswered. Did the Trump team really bungle the response to the pandemic? Were the right decisions made about travel restrictions, lockdowns, and mask mandates? Are Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx competent medical experts or timeserving bureaucrats? Did half a million people really die unnecessarily because of Trump’s incompetence?
“Atlas’s book has exposed a scandal for the ages…easily the most crucial first-person account we have so far. It is gripping, revealing, devastating for the lockdowners and their vaccine-mandating successors, and a true classic that will stand the test of time. It’s simply not possible to write the history of this disaster without a close examination of this erudite first-hand account.”
“A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how unelected public health bureaucrats took control of the pandemic response and implemented irrational policies with disastrous consequences for the public.”
“Dr. Atlas’ analysis of the US’s COVID-19 response is masterful. His accounts of working in DC are shocking and enlightening for readers skeptical about federal suggestions on combating the pandemic.”
