More than 70 researchers and doctors from Stanford in a 'Dear Colleague' letter this week took aim at Dr. Scott Atlas, the latest addition to the White House task force.
Atlas, a neuroradiologist by training with no background in treating infectious diseases, joined the president's medical advisory staff last month. Before doing so, he made frequent appearances on Fox News, where he often cast doubt on the efficacy of wearing masks and pushed for schools to reopen with in-person learning – positions in line with Trump's own public sentiments.
Member of the coronavirus task force Scott Atlas listens to US President Donald Trump during a briefing at the White House, Aug. 10, 2020. In their letter, however, the Stanford experts tick through a set of widely accepted medical conclusions in conflict with Atlas' public statements and alleged private policy suggestions.
Without explicitly tying their list to Atlas' past statements, the set of conclusions -- which are based on a"preponderance of data," according to the letter -- include information about the use of face masks, asymptomatic spread and the risk posed to children.
