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.
