"It's the T-Cells, Stupid! " - Dr Scott Atlas with Real Science to Redfield and the CDC Gang
Dr. Scott Atlas, the Stanford radiologist-turned-White House adviser, accused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield of “misstating” coronavirus data Wednesday.
Anyone paying attention to the data coming in these last couple months knew that Redfield had to be either so woefully misinformed or straight-up lying that he ought to have been fired and quite possibly indicted for perjury before the day was through.
And, Dr. Atlas was polite but pulled no punches letting the press know that Redfield’s testimony simply wasn’t true.

“I think that Dr. Redfield misstated something there,” Atlas said, referring to Redfield’s testimony before the Senate Wednesday in which he said that 90% of the population remains susceptible to COVID-19.
“When you look at the CDC data state by state, much of that data is old, some of it goes back to March or April, before many of these states have the cases,” Atlas said. He added that people also may have other forms of immunity to the virus beyond the kind Redfield referred to.
Atlas, formerly a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, joined the White House in August. Since then, he's appeared with President Trump at press conferences, while other public health officials, such as Redfield and coronavirus task force members Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, have not.
Atlas's comments are the latest episode of the White House disagreeing with Redfield. Last week, Trump accused Redfield of misspeaking when he told the Senate Appropriations committee that inoculating the majority of the U.S. population would take into the second half of next year. Trump also faulted Redfield for comments suggesting that mask-wearing might be more effective than vaccines.
Trump said at his press briefing that Redfield “made a mistake,” adding that it’s “just incorrect information.”
Atlas’s comments directly contradicted Redfield’s sworn testimony earlier Wednesday, when he told a Senate panel that preliminary data “show that a majority of our nation, more than 90 percent of the population, remain susceptible."
Atlas said, “I think that Dr. Redfield misstated something … the data on the susceptible, what he was talking about what his surveillance data that showed roughly 9 percent of the country has antibodies, but when you look at the CDC data state by state much of that data is old,” Atlas said at the briefing.
“The immunity to the infection is not solely determined by the percentage of people who have antibodies … the reality is that according to the papers from Sweden, Singapore and elsewhere there is cross-immunity highly likely from other infections and there is also T-cell immunity, and the combination of those makes the antibodies a small fraction of the people that have immunity.”
In a heated exchange with NBC’s Peter Alexander, who noted the contradiction, Atlas responded, “You’re supposed to believe the science and I’m telling you the science.”
Alexander’s response told you all you need to know about how worthless most of the corporate press is. He asked Dr. Atlas “Who are we to believe?”
In response, Dr. Atlas gave him a list of the research proving that, contrary to what Redfield had told Congress, much more than 10 percent of Americans have immunity to COVID-19. He had to remind Alexander, that he could, you know, look up the data and figure out who was right.
But, though Alexander fancies himself a journalist, like most of his colleagues he’s really just a glorified gossip columnist. It simply never even occurred to him to look at the research himself and report anything deeper than what someone else has said about it.
