If one of your loved ones dies of Covid-19, among those you can thank is Dr. Scott Atlas, a Hoover Institute hack who has the ear of Trump because he's part of the FOX fascist machine for lying us into a death toll far larger than the one we might have had.
The piece of crap, a Chicago University trained doctor, a neuroradiologist NOT an expert in public health nor an epidemiologist, is pushing the Darwinist superstition that I mentioned Sweden followed to have one of the highest infection and death rates from Covid in Europe or Asia, no doubt seen by that legendary land of "liberal" imagination as liberty even as it was viciously Darwinian in its determination that with widespread infection would come "herd immunity" for the survivors. Which, of course, means that they were more than eager to have a good part of "the herd" die off. I have pointed out the irony that America's most viciously Darwinist true believers were those who rejected evolution, though they love them some natural selection, especially in the forms of eugenics and scientific racism.
It is in keeping with the criticism of the educational and scribbling classes (the media, FOX is, under our stupid legal theory "the press") this neo-eugenicist hack of a doctor would leave the United States even more at the mercy of the virus, unlike Sweden, we don't have universal health coverage and he is one of the more influential Trump voices calling for getting rid of the little we got from the ACA - I wonder if he figures in the documents submitted to the Supreme Court on behalf of them declaring it against the Constitution.
If people like this can be licensed to practice the profession of medicine it's even more outrageous than that some scumbag lawyer like Barr can. That I have no doubt Dr. Atlas will keep his license to call himself a physician is not to the credit of the profession that maintains him nor of the educational institutions he and that scumbag institute named after Herbert Hoover are associated with.
We are living what Walter Brueggemann wrote about the Solomonic regime, translated into modern terms.
