Who Ya Gonna Believe, Science Or A Charlatan...
Trump personally dislikes, and therefore distrusts, the science that were it followed by EVERONE religiously would put down the Covid-19 in a quarter. And save thoudands of lives. Instead Trump finds a doctor (Atlas) with no background in infectuous diseases or public health and sits him on the task force. Presumably to spread the disinformation (gaslighting) that Trump has so vigorously pursued throughout the canpaign and his first term. If we as a nation make the mistake of reelecting Trump the disinformation and gaslighting is only going to get worse. You can take that to the bank.
WASHINGTON — The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has grown increasingly concerned that President Donald Trump, pushed by a new member of his coronavirus task force, is sharing incorrect information about the pandemic with the public.
Dr. Robert Redfield, who leads the CDC, suggested in a conversation with a colleague Friday that Dr. Scott Atlas is arming Trump with misleading data about a range of issues, including questioning the efficacy of masks, whether young people are susceptible to the virus and the potential benefits of herd immunity.
"Everything he says is false," Redfield said during a phone call made in public on a commercial airline and overheard by NBC News.
Redfield acknowledged after the flight from Atlanta to Washington that he was speaking about Atlas, a neuroradiologist with no background in infectious diseases or public health. Atlas was brought on to the White House task force in August.
Redfield testified before Congress this month that he suspects that a face covering could protect him from Covid-19 better than any future vaccine. Most public health officials share the view that masks are essential to stopping the spread of the virus. Still, Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on how useful wearing them may be.
"If every one of us did it, this pandemic would be over in eight to 12 weeks," Redfield said before offering a stark warning that contradicted the president's assertion that the country is "rounding the corner" on the pandemic.
"We're nowhere near the end," Redfield said.

ReplyDeleteconfronted the City Council about mask policy. The council reversed their
decision. The 5% of the population were delighted (tyranny of the minority
always delights them) and the rest of us continue to distance and wear masks.
Trump replaces policy experts with buddies, scientists with lobbyists and
judges with ideologues. I'm assuming he replaced his tax lawyers with
ex-cons, counterfieters and safe crackers. ..it's what he does.
trump is emblematic of the modern mob with its legit business persona. Except it likely the mob is less dishonest than Mr. $750.00. And likely always has been.
DeleteRN... It's not just science. President Trump disavows his National Security experts, his Homeland Security experts, the FBI and our National Health Care experts if they do not comport with his beliefs.
ReplyDeleteWhen ANTIFA came up last night in the "debate" last night, Biden called them what Trump's head of the FBI called them, an ideology, not an organization. And said that it was in fact, the view of the FBI, which of course, is true. And immediately Trump simply rejected that view.
He's living out his dream, expressed in the last campaign... "I alone can fix it!"
As I commented on PE about the debate... DISGUSTING, EMBARASSING.
DeleteDotard the Fascist is certainly every bit about himself and no one or anything else. His acute narcissism and malignant evil is, in my never humble opinion, a glaring clear and present danger to our staggering democratic republic.
If this madman is reelect we can plan on America being forever changed. Into a political system that was at one time our mortal enemy.
I'm guessing Lucifer is eagarly awaiting Dotard the Fascist arrival in hell.
