"I don't care what people think of me—right is right. People were dying, I had to say the truth," says Dr. Scott Atlas, a Stanford professor who was criticized by his peers for opposing pandemic lockdowns & mRNA injections of "experimental drugs into children that have side effects." ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/10162024 」•• Dr. Atlas says the reaction was severe: "I'm not the only one here who's had death threats and had to hire 24/7 police security in my driveway." Dr. Scott W. Atlas is a health policy expert at Stanford University's Hoover Institution who has served as a senior advisor to several Presidential candidates and members of Congress.

Dr. Atlas misspoke, and would like to clarify that the statistic he cited was from January 2022 (Rasmussen) and showed that 29% of Democrats said the state should take away your kids "... if the parents didn't take the COVID vax". 「 SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS 」 Find out more about the brands that make this show possible and get special discounts on Dr. Drew's favorite products at https://drdrew.com/sponsors • COZY EARTH - Susan and Drew love Cozy Earth's sheets & clothing made with super-soft viscose from bamboo!
