Doctors and health experts celebrated Dr. Scott Atlas’ resignation as the President’s COVID-19 adviser on Monday, suggesting that Atlas’ controversial takes on the pandemic response had contributed to a mounting coronavirus-related death toll in the United States that has now reached roughly 268,000.
First a failure, and now a quitter
Now Stanford needs to cut him loose, definitively. There has to be a way to revoke his tenure. Helping to kill people seems to me a starting point for the case.
Didn’t work for Yoo.
Any bets on when he pops back up on fox or oan or sinclair?
Tomorrow?
And true about Yoo. Thanks for reminding me. I remember thinking that was awful too.
Leaving before having to talk to transition professionals. Just avoiding having to describe how his plan was to let millions die.
‘Not A Moment Too Soon’: Medical Pros Celebrate Atlas’ Resignation As COVID Adviser
Ding, dong, the grinch is dead
I ran into another MD online (FB friend-of-friend) who’s been spouting the same kind of nonsense that Atlas has been peddling. And, like Atlas, not an epidemiologist or a public health specialist of any description. He’s an anesthesiologist.
Our medical education system in America rewards obedience over moral principles and patient care.
Actually, our medical education system rewards those who are good at memorizing vast quantities of arcane information, a talent that is of little value in a wired, info-at-your-fingertips world.
It also rewards those who, as newly minted doctors, can stay awake for 36 hours straight. They may be experiencing seriously impaired judgment, but by dog, they’re still on duty.
I’d lay bets on him having been pushed out by the other members of the task force. I have no idea how they did it since Trump doesn’t give a hoot, but the timing is a tell. They just couldn’t let him continue with his crap through the holiday season.
Yeah, but in the tradition of the even-worse candidate to take his place, what knucklehead will Trump assign to the position?
Nobody. He’s checked out when it comes to anything but pretending he’s not a loser.
and 10s of million survivors with permanent body damage, and medical bankruptcy.
OT, but unsurprising.
His 130 day advisor appointment was going to run out this week regardless. Still, being the inept fool that he is, he didn’t quit 5pm on friday after thanksgiving to bury the news story.
Scott Atlas brings many things to mind - but two in particular
Well, Kevorkian is no longer with us, so maybe spring the Charlottesville or Kenosha killer from jail?
I don’t know how Scott Atlas can live with himself. He has made himself a pariah. He will never be able to wash the blood off his hands. I don’t believe in hell but there should be one for Scott Atlas.
Ware a mask and practice social distancing and wash your hands often.
I think his problem is he’s an overprivileged white male with a hugely inflated ego. Oh, and a grifter too.
Der kommissar ist kaput.
Love the “no comment” from Rudy’s press flack, implying that any conversation between Rudy and Trump is privileged.
I don’t think begging for a pardon constitutes the providing of legal advice. Not even the providing of bad legal advice, which is what Rudy seems to specialize in these days.
