Stanford Review: Thank you so much for speaking with us today, Dr. Atlas. We’d like to discuss your experience with censorship at Stanford. Could you start by sharing your story and background leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic? Scott Atlas: I’ve been in medical science for twenty-five years, MD from University of Chicago, then trained at Northwestern and UPenn, and I’ve been a professor at some of the world's best medical centers.

Stanford Review: Thank you so much for speaking with us, Professor Bhattacharya. We understand that you experienced a kind of censorship at Stanford during the COVID-19 pandemic when you challenged the medical community’s prevailing wisdom. Can you tell us what happened? Jay Bhattacharya: Of course. It’s March of 2020, and Stanford shuts down. I wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing that we didn't know how many people had COVID, and we didn't know what the death rate was.
