Fox News anchor Chris Wallace had a lot of thoughts on Friday morning following the massive news that President Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19, scolding the Trump family for declining to wear masks at Tuesday’s debate and then, in a later segment, dismissing the expertise of the president’s Fox-friendly coronavirus adviser.
Appearing on Fox & Friends, Wallace excoriated the Trumps for refusing to adhere to the safety restrictions put in place by the Cleveland Clinic at the debate hall.
Fox host Sandra Smith, meanwhile, brought up an “exclusive interview” that the network recent obtained from Dr. Scott Atlas, the president’s coronavirus adviser...
“He expects the president and first lady to make a ‘complete, full and rapid recovery after the two tested positive,’” Smith said. “He says that there is zero reason to panic. Again this is an exclusive interview to Fox.”
Wallace, however, was less than impressed with Atlas’ analysis, and wanted Fox viewers to know that the neuroradiologist was not an actual expert on the novel coronavirus.
“Well, I’m going to say something and folks—I’m just trying to give you the truth,” he declared. “Dr. Scott Atlas is not an epidemiologist, is not an infectious disease specialist. He has no training in this area at all.”
“There are a number of top people on the president’s coronavirus task force who have had grave concerns about Scott Atlas and his scientific thinking,” Wallace continued. “I’ll get a lot of pushback from this. I hope everything he says is true.”
“But again, follow the scientists,” he concluded. “Listen to people like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx. Listen to the independent people who don’t have a political ax to grind. I don’t think Scott Atlas is one of those people.”

What sort of training did Wally get?
Wallace...all the sudden? Is there anything he DOESN’T know?
Chrissy Pissy is not holding back.
He feels he must get the last punch in and smack Republicans.
Does Chris Wallace have training in the hundreds of issues that he covers and gives opinions about?
Didn’t think so.
Perhaps Mr. Wallace would do best if he just read the news.
Well, time will tell us which one is right and which one we should stop listening to. Will it be Wallace or Atlas?
We’ll see...
So when do his test results come back?
So when do his test results come back?
What's their track record?
Who the hell is this asshole? I knew he was a hard leftist, but his behavior since the debate has been off-the-charts arrogant.
Wallace graduated from ‘Journalism Clown School’.
It’s becoming clearer with each new remark he makes that Wallace is going to be disappointed if Trump doesn’t get sick. That’s the way it sounds to me.
Wallace is dead to me. I will give schmucks like him ample time to hang themselves before I cut them off. He’s now cut off.
This is going to get really interesting, esp. if it’s all R’s who are now testing positive.
Fauci is a fraud. The current virus is more about politics than science. Doctors and scientists have ALWAYS had differing views of treatment for illness. We have a political war in America in which differing views of medical treatments are NOT TOLERATED. Chris Wallace is a Leftist ideologue and Americans should not listen to his opinions on medicine or anything else. Wallace is a a giant ego pretending to be an expert on everything.
Chris... no different than all those “climate scientists” — whatever he heck those are — that the Left constantly points to and you dutifully report without any criticism of ‘credentials’.
Enjoy burning in hell, wallass.
When the President comes through this just fine, he will show that if a 74 year old with comorbid conditions comes through just fine, it is not nearly as bad as the enemedia says it is.
But this is a chance for Trump to say “oh yes this is a serious virus for older folks and i will do everything i can to protect you older people..yada yada”
I know Trump. He will be fine and he will turn this to his advantage.
