Dr. Deborah Birx emerged from a meeting at the White House one day in late summer with a new resolution: Never again would she sit in a meeting with Dr. Scott Atlas and listen to him pontificate on the pandemic. ...

For months, Birx put up with Trump’s rhetoric about the pandemic. She told friends she could live with it, though, as long as she could occasionally get a chance to weight in with the President.

But soon after Atlas was formally named to the task force on August 10, Birx told friends, it became clear that she wasn’t going to get much time with Trump — if any at all. 

After that August meeting, she came out of the room and told a friend Atlas was “not going to tell me what to do,” the friend said, recounting the conversation.
