Former Trump adviser claims to ‘expose unvarnished truth’ of Covid in new book

Scott Atlas resigned after four months but blames Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx for headline-dominating debacles'

In a new book, former Trump adviser Scott Atlas blames Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci for headline-dominating debacles" about quack cures for Covid-19 - but omits to mention the chief proponent of snake-oil treatments, including hydroxychloroquine and disinfectant, was the US president he loyally served.

Atlas, a radiologist, is a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, California, specializing in healthcare policy. He became a special adviser to Donald Trump in August 2020, five months into the pandemic, but resigned less than four months later after a controversial spell in the role.
