1) Aug 31 Scot Atlas, a neuroradiologist who spreads conspiracies about COVID on Fox, is another one replacing medical experts in a tRUMP advisory role. He is pressing for herd immunity during the pandemic , says children have ZERO risk even so some have died, talks about immunity when thus far none has been proeven. tRUMP and admin have already begun to implement some policies. tRUMP is not running government, the Federalist, Hoover, Heritage foundation, Cato institute and other RW “think tanks” are… (Atlas is Hoover)
2) VIDEO: ‘Trump herd immunity advocate Scott Atlas with DeSantis today saying “the goal is absolutely not to stop the spread of COVID-19 to asymptomatic or very low-risk individuals.” BTW, they’re at Florida Capitol which is still closed to public because of COVID-19’ He said they may have trouble protecting the elderly. As he says that, the MAGA Florida rich seniors are having parties and riding around honking for tRUMP on their golf carts… sacrificial seniors to cut the amount of medicare/SS paid out... MAGA moron minions come in all ages…
3) VIDEO: “Trump’s pandemic advisor Scott Atlas (who wants a ‘herd immunity’ plow-through approach and get folks infected) tells folks kids have “no serious risks” from #COVID19 & “very safe”. “Children can handle this…” Once again, this man’s expertise is in neuroradiology, FFS
4) VIDEO” 4Sept 04, Trump and DeSantis advisor and know-nothing neuroradiologist and somehow also the newest member of tRUMP Coronavirus advidory committee… speaking AGAIN in favor of “herd immunity in the community” strategy and he is the new “expert” who has tRUMP and Desantis’ ear… Watch as he smiles when talking about the disastrous number of deaths for some macabre reason..
Florida, where the magic happens… or not…
Aug 07, What’s happening? Florida schools open in August. This is the directive from DeSAntis: “As Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed this summer for schools to reopen in Florida, state leaders told school boards they would need Health Department approval if they wanted to keep classrooms closed. Then they instructed health directors not to give it.” WTAF?
VIDEO: Sept 03, Repeating his lies since january about COVID magically disappearing and almost over… tRUMP falsely and repeats… "We're rounding the turn on the pandemic," adding to his growing lists of false promises and lies… VIDEO: 31 times tRUMP downplayed the coronavirus threat
Sept 04, Scott Atlas’s advice is being taken seriously… The state of Florida has told local health officials not to release coronavirus data about public schools.
Being Florida would be the PERFECT test case for Sept school openings, getting data is important.… but giving real-time data has been difficult for De SAntis. Like tRUMP, would rather manipulate the numbers. Here is an example from April…
Florida medical examiners were releasing coronavirus death data higher than the state health Dept… because every death has to go through them (so it is the most accurate) the state made them stop. The health department has kept its own count of coronavirus deaths and published it to an online dashboard and its figure has been lower than the medical examiners’ figures. They insist it was a lag, but why not use the medical examiners data then, I wonder?
