reThe controversial crown adviser to current US President Donald Trump, radiologist Scott Atlas, has resigned. In a letter to Trump that Atlas posted on Twitter on Monday night (local time), he wrote: “I have worked hard and focused on one thing: saving lives and helping Americans overcome this pandemic.”
The radiologist had worked for the US government since August. According to constant media reports, his contract would have expired after 130 days this week anyway. Now he uses his resignation statement to defend himself against criticism. He always relied on the latest scientific discoveries and did so “without any political influence or consideration.”
Atlas has spoken out against the strict containment measures and questions the usefulness of the masks. In doing so, he received criticism in particular from another member of the Corona task force in the White House: Prominent immunologist Anthony Fauci has publicly disagreed with Atlas’ views.
Atlas wishes the “new team” all the best
In mid-November, following the tightening of crown requirements in states like Michigan, Atlas wrote on Twitter: “It only ends when people stand up.” The tweet was also explosive because a group of suspects had been arrested just a few weeks earlier. , who wanted to kidnap and possibly kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, according to investigators because of Corona’s earlier actions. Atlas later wrote that he did not want to incite violence.
In his resignation statement, the radiologist wrote that he wished the “new team” only the best, and was apparently referring to President-elect Joe Biden. Trump still does not recognize his electoral victory. Biden has made fighting the pandemic a priority. Its inauguration is scheduled for January 20.
