Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, once again distanced himself from a doctor advising the president on COVID-19, saying he "totally disagrees" with Scott Atlas.

Atlas, a neuroradiologist with no training in infectious diseases, has taken to Twitter in recent days to rail against closures of some businesses and high schools in Michigan in response to COVID-19.

"I don't want to say anything against Dr. Atlas as a person, but I totally disagree with the stand he takes. I just do, period," Fauci said Monday on NBC's "Today."

Atlas has repeatedly criticized closures and restrictions that are aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus, arguing they are harmful for the economy and mental health.

Well Atlas' mental health is sure suspect.

1. Let's wrap our heads around this undeniable fact

Let’s wrap our heads around this undeniable fact: as with the republican party in Minnesota purposely withholding Covid information from the Democratic Party, the Republican party is trying to kill Americans

2. Need to find in which state Atlas is licensed and file a complaint

3. WTF is Atlas thinking? This isn't "V For Vendetta".

4. Dr. Fauci is right to tell it like it is.

5. If you're not on Dr. Fauci's side of this issue, you're a dumbfuck.

It's really just that simple.

6. With all due respect, Dr. Fauci

I will do what I think is best for me. What is best for me is ignoring the political imbroglio that has destroyed the CDC for now. Per any source that is independent of the dickheads setting policy from the White House, I will wear a mask, social distance if I am around people, and isolate most hours, days, weeks, months, years. Whatever it takes.

I am sorry for Dr. Fauci and other admirable medical professionals that I have to set aside the faith I had in them all these years, but I'm not toying with my health when so much is at stake.
