I know some Stanford docs on campus and they are "horrified". They are PO'ed beyond belief that the general public thinks he's a Stanford doc. He left almost 10 years ago to pursue his interest in health policy. He was apparently an ok guy, but is totally out of his league in addressing a pandemic, they say.

Question: How much power does the Hoover Institute have over its "members"?

What percentage of the US population know who Scott Atlas is?  And of that probably fairly small group, how many associate him with Stanford?  And of that even smaller group, how many think worse of Stanford because of it.

Whether he should be fired or not I’m not commenting on. But I do think folks here get a little too “worked up” over the Stanford connection. Because I truly doubt a whole heck of a lot of people make that connection or care.
