Getting back to the Covid issue for a moment, but also touching on the above by implication, there’s quite a storm brewing locally at Stanford that I suggest people start popping popcorn for.

You may have heard that Trump picked Scott Atlas, a specialist in radiology, as his COVID-19 guy. Which is weird, right? Except he’s a Senior Fellow at Stanford’s whackadoodle Hoover Institute. THAT is why he was picked.

Stanford has an official bio of his publications, so let’s go look:

https://profiles.stanford.edu/scott-atlas?tab=publications

If you look on page 2, one of the 2003 publications (Magnetic resonance image-guided proteomics of human glioblastoma multiforme) is really hard science research. The rest? Not so much. Oh, and there was a textbook, but textbooks tend to be syntheses of other peoples’ research, so I’m not going to count that. You do you.

Anyhow, his Stanford *Medical* colleagues in infectious disease posted a public letter, which is here: (Note that it’s actually posted on the NY Times server):

https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/read-the-open-letter-from-stanford-doctors-on-scott-atlas/813b50f72b6543b4/full.pdf

Stanford Daily article’s here: https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/09/16/letter-to-the-editor-scott-atlas-and-lockdowns/

The top comment is amusing: "Running counter to established science" is a fancy way of saying "because shut up." 

And then, because of course, when you’re dealing with a fucktard, they have to send a demand letter:

And if they’re REALLY a fucktard, they send it *from* Stanford, CA *to* Stanford, CA from a NYC attorney. Just sayin’.

The Stanford researchers did the equivalent of “LOL, nope” and more signed on:

…and got some press: https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1309248424953425920

Which is where we stand at present.
