EXCLUSIVE: Special Adviser to President Trump Dr. Scott Atlas fired back at criticisms leveled against him and his role on the Coronavirus Task Force on Monday, defending his record and expertise while maintaining that his advice to the president is based on the "current science."
Atlas, in an interview with Fox News, said he has received a number of personal attacks and attempts to “delegitimize” him, specifically referring to a recent comment from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield.
According to an NBC News report, Redfield slammed Atlas during a phone call made in public on an commercial airline, saying: “Everything he says is false.”
Atlas joined the White House as a senior adviser to the president, and as a member of the White House Task Force, in July.
“I was asked to be an adviser on the coronavirus pandemic to the president of the United States and I was asked to do that because I have a 25-year career at top, elite medical centers, as a doctor and in patient care,” Atlas told Fox News. “I also have a 15-year career in public policy, working on health care policy and integrating my medical knowledge in policy.”

“There has been a repeated, erratic discussion coming from public health officials, and that is harmful and that includes statements, first saying masks should not be used, and then masks should be used,” Atlas said, referring to comments made by Redfield and Dr. Anthony Fauci in the past. “Statements that a mask is better than a vaccine, statements that people should wear goggles with masks, statements that everyone is vulnerable unless they test positive for antibodies.”
Right on. Finally somebody is knocking the undeserved halo off of Fauci
He also needs to ask , what’s with Redfields beard?
Redfield is only slightly less of an embarrassment than Fauci.
If Redfield made that comment on a public plane he should be fired anyway.
Oh, but he’s probably immune from that, so to speak.

Just wait until November 4th and your wish will be granted.
We know who he is voting for. I'd fire him for that.
