Who Is Dr. Scott Atlas? Trump's New Covid Health Adviser Seen As Counter To Fauci And Birx
Forbes ^ | 8/12/20 | Matt Perez, video game reporter

Posted on 08/12/2020 5:37:50 PM PDT by conservative98

After months of butting heads with his medical experts, including the government’s top infectious disease official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Trump introduced a new adviser to the administration during his coronavirus briefing on Monday, Dr. Scott Atlas, whose views on Covid-19 and school reopenings more closely match the president's.

KEY FACTS

A senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank, Atlas is not an infectious disease expert — he’s board-certified in diagnostic radiology, which means he specializes in reading and interpreting imaging like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs, and he served as a professor and chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center from 1998 to 2012.

Described on his Stanford bio as someone who "investigates the impact of government and the private sector" on healthcare and medical technology and innovation, Atlas joined Mitt Romney's campaign for president in 2012 as a healthcare adviser. He had criticized Romney in 2007 over his healthcare plan while supporting New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's bid for president.

Atlas has recently appeared as a guest on Trump's preferred news channel, Fox, calling on school districts and colleges to open their doors for in-person instruction and railing against the "frenzy" around mass testing.

See the actual briefing in my other post. I watched it on fast forward and only saw Trump and Atlas today.

He’s been an occasional guest on ricochet.com’s podcast since the hoax began.

He should have been kicked out 6 months ago. FRAUD.

"there were more fatalities for people under 65 than those over 90."

Well,...duh! Of course there were. For every person that is over 90 there are 128 people that are under 65.

Scarface LOL She is so irritating. Talks to Americans like we are all uneducated, illiterate, 8 year olds! My husband is a retired chemical engineer and very very smart! Birx just irritates me so much. And Fauci only puts on mask if he sees a camera.

Thank God it appears they’re both being squeezed out of power! I can’t stand them.
