Who is Dr. Scott Atlas? Trump's new Covid health adviser, seen as a counter to Fauci and Birx

After months of butting heads with his medical experts, including the government’s top infectious disease official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Trump introduced a new adviser to the administration during his coronavirus briefing on Monday, Dr. Scott Atlas, whose views on Covid-19 and school reopenings more closely match the president's.... [+]

Described on his Stanford bio as someone who"investigates the impact of government and the private sector" on healthcare and medical technology and innovation, Atlas joinedcampaign for president in 2012 as a healthcare adviser. He had criticized Romney in 2007 over his healthcare plan while supporting New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's bid for president.

During a Fox News appearance on Aug. 3 discussing college reopenings, Atlas echoed an argument often made by Trump that children"have no risk for serious illness" and"they're not significant spreaders," adding,"There should never be and there is no goal to stop college students from getting an infection they have no problem with."

Calling the debate around reopening schools"irrational," Atlas said during his Fox appearance that"people are kidding themselves" if they believe testing is valuable and seemed to criticize the practice of quarantining asymptomatic carriers of the virus if they test positive, though studies have shown the virus can be spread by people not exhibiting symptoms.

Glorified X-ray technician! Figures. 🤦🏽‍♀️ StandWithFauci!!

I’m not fucking with anything coming from that Con! Incompetent in Chief

Just because you are a doctor doesn't mean you're an expert in all things medical. Codes of Conduct reinforce working within your training and expertise. Atlas does not appear to be ID/Public Health/Occupational or Environmentally trained. Just opinionated.

Boooooo istandwithFauci

Covid-19 doesn't care if people tell lies or not,the effects are deadly for all to see!

Uh oh! ppl are already guessing the drug that' prominently displayed in his medicine cabinet...

Fauci and Dr Scarves are too academic and governmental to set REAL world policy. If we were Sims they would be fine.

He’s a quack....that is what makes him counter to Fauci, Birx is smart but ruined her credibility when she became a political hack.

They guy who’s going to be responsible for many unnecessary COVID infections in the interest of political expediency.
