Dr. Scott Atlas gives an excellent brief speech recounting the awfulness of how various institutions handled the Covid pandemic. He emphasizes, however, how citizens acted like sheep in response. He argues that it is very important for people to act with courage, to speak and to oppose these institutions when they act wrongly. And he expresses some degree of hope regarding younger Americans’ attitudes toward these matters:

That was an inspiring speech. He mentioned Edmund Burke who often argued against unrestricted ruling power and the importance of political parties having the ability to maintain a principled opposition that was capable of preventing abuse of power.
Scott Atlas is an honorable man . A true patriot . Get the word out that we need accountability . Maybe then we can see Fauci in a DOC orange jump suit.
You probably remember, Fred, that Atlas was hired by Trump to clean up the mess that Pence, Fauci and Birx were creating; and he ended up being pushed out of the White House. Fun times.
“the importance of political parties having the ability to maintain a principled opposition that was capable of preventing abuse of power.”
That is one of the important things we lack, Fred. We have a Uniparty. Trump, Thune, & Mike Johnson are as fully members of the Epstein class as Schumer or Bernie. Most Republicans went right along with the Faucian Dystopia in every detail. They piled on the persecution of the J6 political protestors; Tom Tillis loved that these vets and grandmothers were rotting away their lives in the dirty DC gulag. Getting in power in 2024, Republicans have spent even more than Biden.
All true, unfortunately. Trump has implemented some policy improvements in his administration. But there is MUCH work to do.
Scott is exactly right. There has been zero accountability. Documents like the Constitution and the Chicago declaration didn’t protect us from tyranny. I’m glad he can see reasons for optimism.
Young people were probably the group most severely and unjustly impacted by Covid restrictions, J. Sobran. It makes sense they would try to make sure this type of tyranny doesn’t happen again. I have seen and heard this with my own discussions with young adults.
Whether they can prevent a recurrence is another matter, of course.
