Dr. Scott Atlas, one of President Donald Trumps top coronavirus advisers, publicly attacked Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday accusing the nations top infectious disease expert of being a political animal who adjusted his dire assessments of the pandemic after Election Day.
The remarks from Atlas, who has earned the White Houses favor by downplaying the diseases threat, came on Fox News' "Ingraham Angle" after host Laura Ingraham contrasted comments Fauci made last month about a potential vaccine timeline with rosier comments he made earlier Tuesday.
Of course, in the time between those two interviews by Fauci, drugmaker Pfizer announced that it had found its coronavirus vaccine candidate to be more than 90 percent effective. The results are the first Phase III data from any of the four vaccine candidates now in the final stage of testing in the United States.
Nevertheless, Atlas said on Tuesday that perhaps Fauci had cheered up because of the election, echoing the presidents unfounded allegations that elected officials and even his own administrations health experts are being dishonest about the pandemic in an effort to dent his political fortunes.

(6,376 posts)after the election. Anyway, it is coming to pass that Fauci was correct.
The pandemic is overwhelming the health care system to the point where the Feds are deploying troops to help out. Is that not the truth? Our hospitals are filling up. People haven't stopped dying. And, they are fighting over semantics?
Fauci is just a better doctor than Atlas by virtue of the fact that he doesn't serve Trump's propaganda agenda. I think I was wrong at first when I thought he was just another flunky in the service of Trump. There have been so many. Instead, he seems to be a standup kind of guy, who isn't interested in blowing smoke up our asses. I can see him as our Surgeon General, who might actually be allowed to serve by Biden, unlike the current guy, who was silenced.
