Um, wow. @CDCDirector throws Trump pandemic advisor Scott Atlas under bus: “Everything he says is false” Dr. Robert Redfield said in a conversation with a colleague on Dr. Scott Atlas misleading Trump about masks, young people, and herd immunity. #COVID19 nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
2) "Everything he says is false," Redfield said during a phone call made in public on an airline and overheard by @NBCNews.
Redfield acknowledged after flight from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., that he was speaking about Atlas, brought on to the White House task force in August.
3) Sidenote: AMAZING that we get our insider info into the WH pandemic response via just casual eavesdropping casually on a commercial airline these days. Kudos to whoever the @NBCNews reporter was for tracking down Redfield afterwards.
5) Scott Atlas has been spreading misinformation for a long time. Here is is claiming no risk to kids and scolding “selfish” teachers.
6) Scott Atlas was also wrong about Europe having more excess deaths.
7) here is also Atlas pushing for herd immunity (without vaccine) to plow through and infect everyone claiming kids have no serious risks. Again, completely FALSE. debunk in the post below.
8) Reminder -
📌1 in 3 hospitalized kids needed ICU!!! (Out of 208 with full medical chart).
📌1 in 17 kids (5.8% out of 208) required invasive mechanical ventilation.
📌And at least 1 child died (out of 208)
