Not even if you’re a member of the White House Covid Task Force, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford Medical Center.
Nope.
Disagree with the official narrative, and your comments are erased and your former professional affiliates immediately distance themselves.
We do think it’s very interesting that Dr. Atlas used the words “rise up…”
Stanford University on Monday evening distanced itself from White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow at the school’s Hoover Institution, after he urged Michigan residents to “rise up” against new public health measures.
“Stanford’s position on managing the pandemic in our community is clear. We support using masks, social distancing, and conducting surveillance and diagnostic testing. We also believe in the importance of strictly following the guidance of local and state health authorities,” the university said in a tweet.
“Dr. Atlas has expressed views that are inconsistent with the university’s approach in response to the pandemic. Dr. Atlas’s statements reflect his personal views, not those of the Hoover Institution or the university.”

CNN wrote about Dr. Atlas’s tweet in an article dated October 17.
“White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Scott Atlas criticized Michigan’s new Covid-19 restrictions in a tweet shortly after they were announced Sunday evening, urging people to ‘rise up’ against the new public health measures.
‘The only way this stops is if people rise up,’ Atlas said. ‘You get what you accept. #FreedomMatters #StepUp’ “
“The tweet, which comes as coronavirus cases spike across the US, also linked to an article in the American Institute for Economic Research that argues against the effectiveness of masks, among other things
According to Twitter, the policy Atlas violated prohibits sharing false or misleading content related to Covid-19 that could lead to harm.”

We note with horror that dissent is, with NO discussion, labeled as “false and misleading” and “could lead to harm.”
Orwellian indeed.
