Birx tells friends she was relieved after Trump adviser Scott Atlas' inaccurate mask tweet was removed

Members of the White House coronavirus task force are praising a move by Twitter removing a misleading tweet from top Trump adviser Dr. Scott Atlas that told Americans masks don't work.
The tweet's removal was a "relief" among some task force members, Dr. Deborah Birx told friends over the weekend, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation.
Birx also told friends fighting the virus is "hard enough (without Atlas)."
She also suggested the task force is frustrated by Atlas' ability to find obscure information, label it as data and "present (it) to the President as scientific evidence," an almost insurmountable challenge.
"If he likes the sound of it, he believes it," Birx has said of Trump.
Atlas has emerged as a key influence on the President in recent weeks as the task force and its key public health experts have been swept aside by politics and competing interests.

Atlas is about as qualified on COVID as this Insane clown.
