  • Dr Atlas is brave and courageous

    Sadly we shouldn’t have to be brave and courageous to stand up for our freedom. But very few do. Scott Atlas speaks with more integrity, honesty and directness than any lawmaker or pundit in any venue. From the beginning of Covid. So glad he was uncensored and able to be heard finally.
