Dr. Scott Atlas, one of President Donald Trump’s chief coronavirus advisers, publicly attacked Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday — accusing the nation’s top infectious disease expert of being a “political animal” who adjusted his dire assessments of the pandemic after Election Day.
The remarks from Atlas, who has earned the White House’s favor by downplaying the disease’s threat, came on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” after host Laura Ingraham contrasted comments Fauci made last month about a potential vaccine timeline with more optimistic comments he made earlier Tuesday.
“There’s all kinds of prognostications that were made — all negative, all to undermine what the reality of the timelines were, all to undermine the president,” Atlas added of Fauci’s comments. “And I think, you know, once you do that sort of thing and make yourself a political animal, basically, you lose your credibility.”
Atlas’ remarks represent a continuation of the criticism the president has leveled at Fauci that escalated in the run-up to last week’s election. Last month, Trump described Fauci as a “disaster” in a call with campaign staff, and he hinted at a rally last week that he would fire Fauci after Election Day.
The sniping between Atlas and Fauci, however, has been less visible — although the two doctors have traded barbs in the press over the other’s credentials and counsel to the president. Atlas has emerged in recent months as a leading adviser to the White House’s coronavirus response because of his rosier pandemic outlook and aversion to Covid-19 restrictions.
Atlas is a physician with no expertise in infectious diseases or epidemiology. Fauci, an immunologist, has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for more than three decades.
Pre Election Fauci: all negative all the time.
Post Election Fauci: all positive
Fast forward to 2020. Healthy people are quarantined and contact tracing is in the works - for healthy people.
Yes, Fauci is a political animal.
But, but, they’re experts! How can they disagree?!
He is a political animal . Never forget Faucis love letter to Hillary. Never forget how Doc Fauci has been all over the map concerning the Wuhan Virus.
a political animal
Seems on target.
If there were any actual experts, the CV-2 virus would be in the rear view mirror.
And the common cold extinguished.
Fauci should be long gone. He was part of moving this virus gain of function research from USA to Wuhan China.
The deep evil of this obvious treason, is beyond belief. Fauci, Gates and evil, in bed together.
“The remarks from Atlas, who has earned the White Houses favor by downplaying the diseases threat...”
No bias there, no sir.
bkmk
Social distancing and masks would actually work for aids too.p
If you have no symptoms, and you are not infectious to others,
YOU ARE NOT A “CASE.”
Feb 28, in a little read editorial, Fauci and Redfield quietly changed the definition of “case,” and screwed the whole world.
