Controversial White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas resigns from position
White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas has abruptly resigned from his post, Fox News reported on Monday afternoon.
Fox News reported that an official resignation letter, dated December 1st, was exclusively obtained ahead of Atlas's public announcement of his intention to step down from his position.
A controversial figure since Trump first tapped him as a special adviser to his efforts to respond to the COVID-19 crisis in August, Atlas's term as a Special Government Employee (SGE) in the White House was set to expire this week.
"I am writing to resign from my position as Special Advisor to the President of the United States," Atlas reportedly wrote in his letter of notice. Atlas went on to thank President Trump for "the honor and privilege to serve on behalf of the American people."
"I worked hard with a singular focus—to save lives and help Americans through this pandemic," Atlas wrote. "I always relied on the latest science and evidence, without any political consideration or influence."
Atlas has been relentlessly attacked by the media ever since first joining Trump's COVID-19 team due to his anti-lockdown stance and refusal to comply with the mainstream media narrative in regard to best practices for addressing COVID-19 challenges.
Atlas even came under fire from members of the White House coronavirus task force during his term. One run-in with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield reportedly ended with Redfield declaring that "everything [Atlas] says is false."
The longtime physician concluded his letter by wishing the Biden administration success in their efforts to combat the virus, writing:
I sincerely wish the new team all the best as they guide the nation through these trying, polarized times.With the emerging treatments and vaccines, I remain highly optimistic that America will thrive once again and overcome the adversity of the pandemic and all that it has entailed.
At the time of this publication, neither Atlas nor President Trump have issued public statements regarding the resignation letter obtained on Monday.

CDC's Redford is complicit with Fauci who should be tried for crimes against humanity. The CDC has been politicized. Redford needs to go, and any other staff members that share his ideology and do not have the best interest of the citizens of the USA.

I totally agree. I read about the connection with the vaccines that have Fauci, Gates and Soros connected together. Not a very good group there….doesn't make me feel safe in taking the vaccine when "Mr. Population Control's" name is involved along with the demented G. Soros.

Dark times come when you are not entitled to an opinion different from that of the winning minority.
I could not agree more!!Faucci needs to be investigated regarding his financial ties to the Wuhan lab.He has been involved for years!!!!! ?What the hell are the republicans in congress doing? The only thing they are good for is to ask for money.The only one fighting is President Trup. What were the Georgia Senators doing the campaign?

I think the phrase you are looking for is "civil disobedience". We won't obey Biden because we don't want to. This is our choice under the Bill of Rights in our Constitution. Our Constitution is the LAW OF THE LAND no matter what the "leaders of the moment" say or do. We CAN create cooperatives, work out barter systems, ignore the usurper Biden because we are "internal" to the Country. The "Feds" cannot stop us because legally, our States protect us from the Federal Government. The "Feds" can only deal with foreign governments, as the writers of the Constitution meant them to. The Federal Government can try, but our State Legislatures are the true leaders of their citizens. We have greater control of our State Governments because we can control them directly instead of the Feds being controlled indirectly. We cannot trust Congress, the President, and SCOTUS anymore. Soros, Gates, and their like own the Feds now until we can get rid of them (if ever).
Sad to say the only thing Biden will do is shut the country down and starve out the resistance to the demonazi dictatorship.

CDC REDFIELD IS A DUMB AXX AND HAS NOT GOT THINGS RIGHT ABOUT COVID=19 HE SHOULD SET DOWN OR BE FIRED>:

I believe that more investigations than just one are in progress. Yesterday, I came across a video with about 20 Europeans: "WORLD DOCTORS ALLIANCE CALLS FOR COVID NUREMBERG TRIALS. These doctors, scientists and activists are exposing the fraud behind Covid-19". The video will be soon banned, just like many others of this kinds.

Let's see the plan that this incompetent bunch of Democrat clowns use to deal with this pandemic. Do you feel safe already? If your well being was a priority for them, Pelosi wouldn't have played political games with the stimulus package. There wouldn't even be a vaccine coming if it wasn't for Trump.
