False, eh?

Well, what can you expect from a guy whose name sounds like he owns a bunch of gyms in Nebraska?

I was somewhat out of the loop. Did anything interesting happen this weekend? /s

ETA Like everyone else, I’m shocked — SHOCKED! — to learn that a doctor who has spent the last 8 years advocating against health care for “those people” is a lying POS.

How did he ever get a job with the KKKockholster KKKlan?

Well if Redfield is a good scientist that I hope he followed the scientific method of notating changes, and who made, or directed to be made changes in CDC guidelines regarding COVID-19 best practises.

No shit. The guys a radiologist spouting nonsense and Trump made him a ‘top presidential advisor’. Of course everything he says is shit.

Atlas is NOT a neurologist. He is a neuroradiologist, which is a subset of radiology.

He IS however an egotist and an asshole who doesn’t give a shit about ANYONE’S well being.

Redfield talked about Atlas on a flight to D.C. where he could be overheard, then confirmed it to the reporter. Seems like he is officially out of fucks to give.

Yep, they WERE in the overhead. Not sure he will ever unpack them again.

TPM…please correct this article based on the NBC report about Redfield’s conversation. NBC correctly states in its story that Atlas is a neuroradiologist, NOT a neurologist, as you write. There’s a very big difference.

Resign. Loudly. You cowardly toad.

Not really. They are safely hidden by his paunch. He was just overheard in a private conversation and has been outed. Let’s see what comes of it. I expect denials from the WH.
