Dr. Scott Atlas, a neuroradiologist with
no credentials in the public health field, has found favor with the current president because as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force he says what the Egoist-in-Chief
wants to hear when he listens to scientists.
Dr. Atlas is not
an idiot, in other words – he’s an ego masseuse, an important qualification as far as the current president is concerned.
What follows is a very short list of doctors and scientists, some better than others, to be sure, but all
more or less qualified for the Man Baby’s pandemic science team.
