Good God in Butter! Dr. Scott Atlas was a professor @ the Stanford's Med School?

I had never seen him speak before and I just saw 3 minutes on CNN and he is
either mentally ill and or just enjoys being an asshole. He was arguing that the
models on the # of projected C-19 deaths* is wrong because "they" have changed
the models and so that means that the current models are wrong. Or something
like that and when shown models that accuratly predicted the # of deaths and the
# of cases of the disease by the host he just filibusterd and talked over the host.

3. He's a radiologist, not trained like an epidemiologist.

He's a crackpot. When not doing radiology he was an adviser to Giuliani's presidential campaign (Yeah, we should trust this guy) and then Romney's campaign where he argued against the ACA that was based on Romney's approach. How do these people stand each other?

And, like Rick Wilson has said, anyone who comes in contact with Trump dies.

R.I.P., asswad.

6. He is a neuroradiologist--that means he has not treated COVID patients, has no epidemiological,

public health, virology, infectious disease, vaccinology nor relevant clinical practice expertise.

He completed medical school, yes, but his specialty is totally irrelevant to any and all things related to COVID-19 therapeutics and population control..

His expertise is limited to be an ideologue and WH/Fox mouthpiece/propagandist.
