Scott Atlas Resigns as White House Task Force Adviser
Newsmax ^ | 11/30/2020 | Eric Mack

Posted on 11/30/2020 5:40:40 PM PST by Rio

Dr. Scott Atlas has resigned as special adviser to President Donald Trump on the coronavirus, submitting a resignation letter dated Dec. 1.

The letter was first obtained by Fox News and subsequently posted on Twitter, and Atlas' resignation comes as his 130-day detail as a Special Government Employee (SGE) expired this week.

Atlas alerted President Donald Trump of his resignation Monday, according to the report.

"I am writing to resign from my position as Special Advisor to the President of the United States," Atlas' resignation letter read, thanking him for "the honor and privilege to serve on behalf of the American people."

"I worked hard with a singular focus — to save lives and help Americans through this pandemic," the letter read, noting he "always relied on the latest science and evidence, without any political consideration or influence."

"As time went on, like all scientists and health policy scholars, I learned new information and synthesized the latest data from around the world, all in an effort to provide you with the best information to serve the greater public good. But, perhaps more than anything, my advice was always focused on minimizing all the harms from both the pandemic and the structural policies themselves, especially to the working class and the poor."

Apparently, his appointment expired this week. I wish him well. His common sense was/is a breath of fresh air.

He has been a true warrior and we thank him for standing up to the liars and thieves who opposed him at every turn.

Atlas was harshly critical of lockdowns, calling them "extremely harmful" to Americans, writing his work "identified and illuminated early on the harms of prolonged lockdowns, including that they create massive physical health losses and psychological distress, destroy families and damage our children.

Atlas, like many of us, realized that the cure was worse than the disease.

The lock downs raised the rates of suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, child abuse and depression.

Do you have a source for this statement? I'm starting to gear up to become active again and I want to get the facts not just my opinions to back me up.

“ Too bad FAUDci’s appointment won’t expire”

Oh, after two months of Michael Osterholm you will be begging to have Fauci back.

Michael Osterholm - ugh!! He’s been torturing Minnesotans for decades. You’re right. Osterholm makes Fauxi look mild in comparison.

Osterholm is likely the “Dark Winter” line author.

He wasn’t afraid to say out loud the things that were contrary to the MSM narrative. The things that were based on common sense.

I would assume that Dr. Atlas has been receiving death threats.
You can’t speak against the covid rules without receiving death threats.

Atlas shrugged.

If he left on good terms, then great.

No kidding. Fauci is like a pimple or a wart that you can’t get rid of.
