WASHINGTON — The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has grown increasingly concerned that President Donald Trump, pushed by a new member of his coronavirus task force, is sharing incorrect information about the pandemic with the public.

Dr. Robert Redfield, who leads the CDC, suggested in a conversation with a colleague Friday that Dr. Scott Atlas is arming Trump with misleading data about a range of issues, including questioning the efficacy of masks, whether young people are susceptible to the virus and the potential benefits of herd immunity.

"Everything he says is false," Redfield said during a phone call made in public on a commercial airline and overheard by NBC News.

Redfield acknowledged after the flight from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., that he was speaking about Atlas, a neuroradiologist with no background in infectious diseases or public health. Atlas was brought on to the White House task force in August.

3. Now is the time for all agencies to rebel

Trump is reeling from the NYT story, and more crimes are comings. Trump's former conspirators are under indictment, in jail, or barricaded in their house holding off the police.

Everyone being pressured in the various agencies by Trump's enforcers should now out them and start stalking to the press and public.

6. It makes me sick the way he always gazes at trump with admiration

I’ll never forget how he first thanked trump for the wonderful job he was doing.it was disgusting. The Very first words out of his mouth. I never trusted him with those loving eyes at trump. He was too infatuated with trump to think of doing what’s best for the people. He’s responsible for lost lives.

7. He didn't realize Trump was really gonna lose until rececently, this is just him getting ready ...

to breast stroke with the rest of the rats. The big hoot is when Trump has to decide which or even both of his sons will fit under the bus. Ivanka isn't immune and Jarrod surely won't be, either.

5. Redfield

Not sure I trust Redfield. Seems like he was sucking up to Trump a lot.
