Join Hoover Institution Senior Fellow & Author, Dr. Scott Atlas, Senior Fellow Dr. Williamson Evers (Director of our Center on Educational Excellence), and Executive Director Dr. Graham Walker for this week’s Independent Conversation and Q&A.
Our special focus will be on Dr. Atlas' forthcoming book, A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America. 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?
More broadly, are Americans uniquely compliant with public health directives compared to other advanced nations? Or uniquely anxious and frightened? How has the crisis affected the public status of science and expert knowledge in America?
In this Independent Conversation, Dr. Scott Atlas will address these issues and more, answer audience questions, and preview the analysis in his provocative book, which is available for pre-order on Amazon.
We hope that you will participate with questions and benefit from the Independent Institute’s dedication to liberty and human dignity, scholarly integrity, and respect for facts.
