• Scott Atlas has resigned from his position in the White House as Donald Trump's special adviser on COVID-19, multiple news agencies report

Mister 'Herd Immunity' has resigned, reports CNN:

Dr. Scott Atlas, a highly controversial member of the White House's coronavirus task force, has resigned from his post in the Trump administration, according to a person who works with the task force. Another source close to the task force said on Monday that Atlas' departure comes as welcome news, as his discredited theories will no longer have a seat at the table.The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

No single physician did more to harm Americans in such a brief period of time as @ScottWAtlas has.

His disgrace will be for all time.

I'm told Atlas turned his resignation letter in to President Trump today. As a special government employee, he had a limited 130-day window where he could be in this role that was coming to a close.

Scott Atlas is not just "highly controversial" but is a widely discredited purveyor of anti-science disinformation and conspiracy theories that have actively caused harm. To be clear: Masks work. #covid19 is real. Herd immunity kills. https://t.co/zcygN3JWc4
