Dr. Scott Atlas blasts 'despicable' Birx and Fauci 'trying to overtly rewrite history' on coronavirus, Trump

Dr. Scott Atlas, a member of former President Trump's coronavirus task force, blasted his ex-colleagues Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, after they went on CNN and tried to 'rewrite history'

In a clip played by host Laura Ingraham, Fauci told CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta that he was "shocked" when Trump tweeted that Virginia and Michigan should be "liberated" from lockdown orders.  Meanwhile, Birx told Gupta that she in turn was disheartened when, during an April 2020 meeting, Trump declared he would "never shut the country down again," and that with the exception of the first 100,000 deaths from the initial coronavirus "surge," the rest could have been "mitigated or decreased substantially" if the correct actions were taken by the White House at the time. The comments enraged Atlas. "We are witnessing something incredible which is people trying to overtly rewrite history. It's the most insane thing I have ever seen. Of all the insanity I saw in the White House, this is the most despicable," he said.
