So trump has appointed a right wing radiologist as his expert on Covid 19

Dr. Scott W Atlas, MD is a doctor primarily located in Stanford, CA. He is a Diagnostic Radiologist

So we should ignore the infectious disease experts, and epidemiologist, and follow the pide piper of Hamilin

What is really amazing is when you look at the reviews of Atlas on google, they have nothing to do with him as a doctor, but praising his pro trump views on Covid 19

Don't get me wrong, they are good at what they do... They do Radiology period. When it comes to treating a sick medical patient ....... forget it. Trauma? no thanks. And don't get me started if a patient gets sick in radiology. They are the first one's to yell "Call a code" and they run OUT of the room as the nurses run IN. That's just my experience. Calling this Rad a person who knows about the virus..... ahhh no..
