Disagreements Within The Coronavirus Task Force -- Dr. Fauci: I’m Worried That Scott Atlas Is Giving Bad Information To Trump

For Fauci to go on record this way, knowing how its destined to piss Trump off, there must be tremendous pressure on him from the rest of the feds coronavirus-response bigwigs. There was a story last week that Deborah Birx was distressed by Atlass growing influence within the task force, to the point where shes reportedly considering stepping down. Just this morning, an NBC reporter overheard CDC chief Robert Redfield saying of Atlas, Everything he says is false. Remarkably, when asked by the reporter to confirm that that remark referred to Atlas, Redfield did so.
The infectious-disease experts in the federal government have clearly had enough of being publicly contradicted by a radiologist who is where he is because he used to appear regularly on Fox News. If Faucis now willing to publicly identify Atlas as a problem, which he did today in an interview with CNN, Im guessing it means either (a) he really is worried that Birx and/or others are ready to quit and is staging a sort of intervention or (b) hes been asked by others within the government to use his credibility with the public to alert them to a problem with Atlas.
Somethings got to give. If the knives are out like this, its hard to believe the team will remain intact for much longer.
And given Atlass habit of affirming Trumps instincts about the pandemic and how to respond to it, we may be headed next month for a surreal showdown in which Atlas demands publicly that the FDA approve a vaccine for emergency use immediately while Fauci, Birx, and Redfield warn the public that the data just isnt there yet. Would Atlas go so far as to back Trump up on his claims that the FDA has a political motive in taking its time with the vaccine? If he did, would any of the other doctors resign in protect? No outcome is too outlandish with President Chaos in charge.
Im concerned that sometimes things are said that are really taken either out of context or actually incorrect, he added, referring to Atlas. The incorrect information he has in mind is, I assume, the talking point about cross-immunity that Atlas keeps pushing, which got picked up by Rand Paul in his exchange with Fauci last week. Fauci believes thats being overhyped and that in any case theres not enough immunity out there to spare us from a nasty second wave of COVID this winter. Insofar as Atlas and Paul are implicitly encouraging people to let down their guards in the belief that theyre already immune to the disease, theyre putting lives at risk.
This comment by Fauci elsewhere in the interview surprised me, not because its wrong but because youd think hed go out of his way not to further antagonize Trump in an interview where hes criticizing Atlas:
The public really needs to know the facts, some of the media that I deal with really kind of I wouldnt say distort things but certainly give opposing perspectives on what seems to be a pretty obvious fact, Fauci said, before directly singling out one network. If you listen to Fox News, with all due respect to the fact that they do have some good reporters, some of the things that they report there are outlandish, to be honest with you.
To Trump, criticizing Fox News primetime must be like criticizing Ivanka. You just cant do and remain in his good graces.
Which makes me wonder: What happens if Fauci, Birx, and Redfield approach Trump and say, Its either Atlas or us? Trumps instinct would be to say bye and send them off, but given that the public trusts them a lot more than him (or Atlas) on handling COVID, a mass firing or mass resignation could be a serious blow to his reelection. Its one of the few things that really might move the needle at this point, especially if their departure were followed by an increase in cases nationally next month. I dont think he could afford to shake the publics confidence by letting them leave.
Its ironic that Fauci criticized Fox because reportedly, at some point, some people at Fox decided that Atlass expertise on COVID was too shoddy to keep having him on regularly:
According to three people familiar with the situation, Fox News producers have been instructed in recent weeks to take extra care when inviting Atlas onto the network to discuss the pandemic, which is rapidly approaching a U.S. body count of 200,000. Some Fox staffers involved in the networks more straightlaced daytime news programs have been increasingly reluctant to book him altogether.
Among the hard-news division shows at Fox, Atlas is viewed with skepticism by senior staff at many of the programs, as they view him as lacking credibility during the coronavirus crisis, and as someone who isnt even a medical expert in the relevant field.
Atlas has a background in radiology, not infectious diseases, one of the sources said. It makes no sense to have him on to discuss a contagious respiratory virus that continues to spread through parts of this country like wildfire.
Atlas used to work at Stanford Medical School with a specialty in neuroradiology. If you need a MRI of your brain, hes the man to see, not Anthony Fauci. And yet Atlas presumes that hes also the man to see when it comes to Faucis and Birxs specialty, contagions. A few weeks ago, dozens of his former colleagues at Stanford Med signed a letter imploring Trump and the public to stop listening to this guy. Many of his opinions and statements run counter to established science and, by doing so, undermine public-health authorities and the credible science that guides effective health policy, they claimed, correcting Atlas on several points:
Having him as the de facto leader of the task force would be like a newly elected President Joe Biden naming a well-respected anesthesiologist to lead his COVID response because that guy happened to be super pro-lockdown. Its idiotic. This is what we get for electing a narcissist who craves yes-men to handle things like global pandemics. It cant continue. And, one way or another, it wont.
By the way, Fauci and Redfield werent at this afternoons coronavirus briefing at the White House with Trump and Pence. Guess who was.

Dr Fauxi lost all credibility when he pooh poohed the use of hydroxichloriquine when back in 2005 he was on the record stating it would help with infectious viruses! I’ll take dr Steve Atlas ANYday....

My memory of Fauci will always be of him running around the MLB baseball field before throwing out the first pitch. With his name on his uniform and the big 19 on it. Trying to be funny and a celebrity after screwing so many people. What an ass.

According to the CDC, over 99% of people under 70 who get COVID survive. For under 45 this increases to 99.7%. For school-age children, this increases to 99.97%. But the media will take the 0.03% and hype “Yes, children can die from COVID!!!!!!!”.
Meanwhile Fauci is the one who started with a projection that millions of US would die from it.

This virus is DONE I believe we have achieved herd immunity I believe the testing is faulty AND this is why Trump is changing the testing to this rapid testing!! I also believe that the FDA and CDC are involved in this faulty testing scam!! We have almost no hospitalizations anymore and deaths are next to none these tests are BOGUS!!
Go away Fauchi. What will it take for you to go away forever? Just go away.
