Dr. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institute received the first-annual ‘Freedom Fighter of the Year Award’ from the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) for his brave work in opposing COVID-19 hysteria.

Atlas was put through the ringer by the fake news media throughout his time in the Trump administration, as the former president brought him on as his own personal expert to combat the American Mengele, Dr. Anthony Fauci. The CPI is rewarding him for sticking his neck out there and doing what was right under the pressure.

“Dr. Atlas is renowned for his leadership in policy and medicine. He served as Special Adviser to President Trump and was a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force,” said Sen. Jim Demint, who helps run the CPI with Rep. Mark Meadows.

“While many on the Left and in the media were pushing nonsensical, fear mongering narratives about the coronavirus, Dr. Atlas spoke out in defense of liberty and demanded honesty and curiosity for truth from the media and the science community. We were thrilled to bestow CPI’s highest honor to Dr. Atlas, and we look forward to continuing to support him as he fights for conservative values and the truth here in Washington,” he added.
