Scott Atlas resignation from @WhiteHouse comes not a moment too soon
His time was marred by barrage of misinformation, from promoting anti-mask quackery to falsehoods about testing
He repeatedly tweeted disingenuous "data" & promoted widespread infections as a strategy

He supposedly was a policy expert, but in my 2 decades of working on US health policy, he was never a serious player
Scott rose to prominence saying on TV what pandemic experts would never say
And found a buyer for his herd immunity strategy in @realDonaldTrump

.@ScottWAtlas elevated @SunetraGupta, Bhattacharya & @MartinKulldorff...herd immunity advocates who wrote shameful "Great Barrington Declaration"
They claimed to promote "protect the vulnerable" & let others get infected strategy...but didn't do much to protect vulnerable

Few people as responsible for how badly things are going as Scott
His tenure on federal payroll truly awful
Claiming that he followed the science and actually doing so are not the same thing
Wish him no ill will but our nation is better off without him involved in policy
