The declaration advocates fully opening schools and universities for in-person teaching, despite the fact that there have been more than 214,000 cases reported in universities alone since last February, including 85 deaths. It is not surprising that Stanford has become the center of reaction against efforts to contain and mitigate the pandemic. In an interview with former Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona, Dr. Atlas spewed many unsubstantiated facts and calling actions that attempt to contain the virus as causing more harm or deaths. ;A#bB^+x7^bvn9u#[Ibqf!dF\*V_v30N+4_pftV13jxKY {a>6I.V]gEH%Q'FtC6/ et.=uIe*l}[% ~NFiRKHm YVSNK H{pZ 6:24xdL`K@q^P02%lB#_%y(a]` P$4a0Bx.~>/Aw'{9/sv==$h;>:~*>T>~Icy~e=*1te/Azf;0=WWjpy!t\lu?sx:jXd;u$v>'$$MAF}=hB?i`5o.

This has been one giant slow-motion train wreck. Sheila Jasanoff, a professor at Harvard Kennedy School who studies the role of science in politics, told Buzzfeed, It creates the impression that the work that the scientists are intending to do will be shaped by a political purpose, maybe even before they have started doing the work..

A Stanford University epidemiologist, Yvonne Maldonado, noted that 40 percent of Americans have an elevated risk of dying from of covid-19. Conflicting information, guidance, competing egos, and what he says is a poor understanding of the science dominated the Covid task force, led by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

That includes doing anything we can do to save a life because we must not stand idly by when another persons life is in danger. Despite the high concentration of community transmission that has seen more than 50,000 new cases and over 1,000 deaths daily, the Trump administration falsely insists it is vital for the welfare of children to reopen schools and allow millions of students and teachers to face the consequences of the pandemic, a reckless policy supported by both the Democrats and Republicans. In response to his claims, in an article published on June 16, the authors Tracy Mayne (HIV epidemiologist at the NYC Department of Health) and Jeremy Mayer (Professor of Policy and Government at George Mason University) began to take apart Dr. Atlas economic calculations noting the use of outdates and statistically invalid figures for his computations. Scott W. Atlas, MD is the Robert Wesson Senior Fellow in health policy at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. Mutual Fund and ETF data provided by Refinitiv Lipper. And on May 25, Atlas co-authored an opinion piece in the Hill criticizing the lockdown as an overreaction, despite being well-intentioned.. It should be mentioned that Ioannidis had predicted that the coronavirus would cause no more than 10,000 deaths in the US. << /Length 5 0 R /Filter /FlateDecode >> In giving way to these experts, Trump and other politicians have tacitly accepted science as a source of authority to the exclusion of science as a deliberative process of testing and evaluationone that requires the constant refining of models and theories and argument between scientists about how to interpret evidence.. Yet few if any of these complainants have cited supporting evidence, either from what Atlas has written or said. The first three are herd immunity, the Great Barrington Declaration, and mass murder.. To place Dr. Atlas and the Stanford scientist in context, in May of this year, at the height of the pandemic in the United States, Stephen C. Meyer, founder of the Discovery Institute, a right-wing think tank based in Seattle, Washington that carries out pseudo-scientific propaganda against the theory of evolution, under the label intelligent design, published an attack on the scientific advisers to the White House. The children are not at risk at all, and we absolutely must re-open the schools, he added. Dr. Atlas, who has been busy making the media circuit among conservative outlets, always prefaces his comments with remarks about strictly adhering to science and data behind the issues, before diving into a tirade against proponents of lockdowns and school closures. ", He added: "So this is exactly what was anticipated by people who have knowledge.". It depends on only one thing the visibility of the scientific process, which by definition is about the visibility of the data, Atlas said. During a Fox News appearance on Aug. 3 discussing college reopenings, Atlas echoed an argument often made by Trump that children "have no risk for serious illness" and "they're not significant spreaders," adding, "There should never be and there is no goal to stop college students from getting an infection they have no problem with.". Trump said he knew nothing about the identity or motives of the person shot, but when asked if the person had been armed, answered: "From what I understand, the answer is yes." While researchers are still studying the effects of the virus on children, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics in July found children carry as much or more of the infection in their noses and throats compared to adults, while a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contact tracing study found young people between ages 10 and 19 years old are more likely to spread the coronavirus in households, where other family members may be more susceptible to severe symptoms. This is the will of God and we should be happy for the opportunity weve been given to protect human life.. Also like Trump, Atlas has endorsed the return of college football programs, despite the risk of serious illness and long-term effects, like, for example, Indiana University freshman football player Brad Feeney, whose mother shared that her otherwise healthy son ended up in the ER and is experiencing heart issues due to Covid-19 that he contracted after arriving early at the school for team workouts.

Atlas also faulted leading scientific publications such as Nature and Lancet for playing important roles in enabling, encouraging, and enforcing the false narrative. In June, journalist Ian Birrell cited one source who estimated the publisher of Nature had sponsorship agreements worth millions of dollars from Chinese institutions.

These financial losses have been falsely portrayed as purely economic.

Pathetic!". Before his appointment at Hoover Institution, he was Professor and Chief of Neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center for 14 years. They must stop, Atlas said. It says nothing about wearing masks or social distancing or contact tracing, and nothing about testing outside of nursing homes. Atlas is closely connected with Dr. John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine, Health Research and Policy, and of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University School of Medicine, whose attempt to play an advisory role in Trumps administration COVID-19 response, discussed below, cannot be understated. Dr. Scott Atlas, Senior Fellow in Health Policy at Stanfords highly acclaimed Hoover Institute, former professor and Chief of Neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, Founding Fellow of Hillsdale Colleges Academy for Science and Freedom in Washington, D.C., is one such hero, as he sounded the alarm over the nations disastrous Member of the coronavirus task force Scott Atlas listens to US President Donald Trump during a [+] briefing at the White House August 10, 2020, in Washington, Put another way, and with total disregard for the long-term consequences of of covid-19 to the health of people who have survived it, it is most compassionate to let as many people as possible contract the disease.

Calling the debate around reopening schools "irrational," Atlas said during his Fox appearance that "people are kidding themselves" if they believe testing is valuable and seemed to criticize the practice of quarantining asymptomatic carriers of the virus if they test positive, though studies have shown the virus can be spread by people not exhibiting symptoms. These experts, led by Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, relied on early epidemiological models to craft their policies for quarantining everyone instead of the sick and vulnerable. Although he now advises 77-year-old presidential candidate Joe Biden, Emanuel once wrote an article for The Atlantic titled "Why I hope to die at 75," contending that that life after age 75 is, and should be, mostly over -- now an eerie idea in a time of a pandemic that targets the elderly.
