Academic freedom questions arise on campus over COVID-19 strategy conflicts | Stanford News
A group of 98 Stanford physicians and researchers with expertise in infectious diseases, epidemiology and health policy published a public letter that said Atlas fosters falsehoods and misrepresentations of science. His opinions and statements, they wrote, run counter to established science and, by doing so, undermine public health authorities and the credible science that guides effective public health policy. Atlas, in turn, threatened to sue, saying the letter was defamatory and that his statements, in fact, were aligned with evidence-based science.
