Former Stanford colleagues warn Dr. Scott Atlas fosters 'falsehoods and misrepresentations of science'

A group of 78 researchers and doctors from Stanford Medical School took aim this week at Dr. Scott Atlas, the expert President Donald Trump recently added to the White House pandemic response task force, for embracing and peddling what they described as 'falsehoods and misrepresentations of science' in his public musings about the coronavirus. In a 'Dear Colleagues' letter penned Wednesday, the Stanford experts wrote that they have a 'moral and ethical responsibility' to push back on Atlas' controversial claims about mitigating the spread of the coronavirus, which they characterized as 'opinions and statements [that] run counter to established science' and 'undermine public health authorities and the credible science that guides effective public health policy.'
