here is Dr. Atlas's whole exchange with the press. read it and form your own opinion…
Report asks POTUS Question: The FDA is reportedly thinking of stricter guidelines for the emergency authorization of a Covid vaxxs. Are you OK with that?
POTUS states "it seems like a political move, why add time to the process?"
Reporter: "It is designed to provide trust in the vaxxine."
POTUS steps aside to allow Dr. Atlas to answer:
Yeah thanks, there is no, I think that people do not understand what is going on with Operation Warp-speed. It is unprecedented what has happened, a typical vaxxine takes roughly 4 years or so. and now we are going to have a vaxxine which is highly likely in far less than 1 year. but without cutting any safety corners, because the President has done things concomduent to the development of the vaxxine, that is the manufacturing, the logistics, everything is being done at the same time, and that has never been done before. But there are zero cutting of safety concerns, there should be no hesitation about the safety. you should not be punished for doing something faster than other people could have done or thought. It's the opposite, we have a pandemic, the urgency is the pandemic, not politics.
POTUS: it sounded extremely political, we come back with great results. I have to take an emergency phone call. i will leave you with these two guys. (Dr. Atlas and Larry Kudlow)
CNN goes off the rails and Saint Kayleigh has to step in and whip the press into line.
Reporter: Dr. Atlas, can you clarify your views on the impact of the virus spreading in the community, reporting that maybe you favor or you looked at herd immunity strategy. you said to fox in July when younger healthier people get the disease they don't have a problem with the disease, low risk groups getting the infection is not a problem, it is a positive. Can you say what you meant by that? Is that to indicate spreading from younger folks makes it less susceptible?
I think I have answered this multiple times. I have never advocated a herd immunity strategy. There has never been a desire to have cases spread thru the community. That's a false story, I've denied that multiple times. That false story doesn't seem to die. But that is a fact. The description of Immunity coming when people get an infection is not something I'm inventing, but that has never been a policy I have advocated, there has never been a policy, recommendation to pursue that to the President. and that is not the Presidents policy.
