Five Points On Scott Atlas, Trump’s Favorite New COVID Source | Talking Points Memo

The President’s got a new top doc. His name is Scott Atlas, and in recent months, Atlas has cut a well-worn path arguing on television that America’s COVID-19 fears were overblown — that, as he said in May, “the cure is bigger than the disease.”

I’d say Trump is overblown.

By his sycophant staff and Q-Tip.

“The President’s got a new top doc.”

Sorry, but without alien semen or sex with demons, how can he take this guy seriously as a doctor?

In short, Atlas is an unqualified kook Trump hired to keep letting the virus rage uncontrollably and kill more Americans.

I was once a 98 pound weakling. The girls looked the other way. I was very inept, socially…

And then I looked at the back of my Superman comic book and Lo! I saw an ad from Groove Atlas, famous trumpet player, and it said that I could learn the instrument in no time and become a musician.

And I did.

And I have been happy ever since :sunglasses:

Scott Atlas has GOT to be a fake name.

That is absolutely one of the stupidest remarks I have ever heard. . . . Especially concerning a disease that has already claimed the lives of over 165,000 Americans.

Little wonder that Trump is now relying on this jerk for advice. Stupid is as stupid does.

This is what you call shopping for a diagnosis when a real doctor tells you you have cancer. The cancer doesn’t care what the Quack tells you. You can’t argue with the hard facts of a disease. Facts that were hard-learned through the suffering and death of millions over the decades and centuries, and we’re apparently going to ignore them.

At least now I know where the talking points I keep hearing are coming from. Why, just today, I was told that the real epidemic is fear! Reports of deaths are false! Testing is pointless! Kids don’t die, and can’t spread it! And did I know that vaccines are funded by Bill Gates?!? I have to get “educated”!

Thanks a lot, neuroradiologist Atlas.

What does he say, when asked, about what happened in New York City (and Italy, among other places) the huge number of cases, the overflowing hospitals, and the steps taken which actually bent the curve?

Any real journalists able to ask him about actual facts?

“As Dr. Scott Atlas said — I thought this was a good quote — ‘Of course, we can [do it],” she said. “‘Everyone else in the …Western world, our peer nations are doing it. We are the outlier here.’”

Still are. Maybe that’s cause the rest of the Western world did all the things Dr. Atlas and Mango Mussolini actively disparage and oppose.
