Scott said in the letter to Donald Trump dated 1 December 2020:

“I am writing to resign from my position as special adviser to the president of the United States,”

WHAT HIS COLLEAGUES FEEL?

Public health experts had heavily criticized Scott for the misinformation and inaccurate information that he was feeding Donald Trump about the coronavirus pandemic. The leading US Infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci was also not happy with the neuro-radiologist Scott Atlas. His colleagues at Stanford University’s medical school also issued a statement on Monday in which they said:

“Dr. Scott Atlas’ resignation today is long overdue and underscores the triumph of science and truth over falsehoods and misinformation,”

Earlier in September 2020, they had released a statement to reveal to the world that they are not in agreement with his views. Their statement read:

“His actions have undermined and threatened public health even as countless lives have been lost to COVID-19. We will continue to advocate for evidence-based public health policies that are grounded in established science, including the use of proven preventative measures like mask-wearing and social-distancing, and the safe testing and delivery of effective therapies and vaccines.”

SCOTT AND HIS DEFENSE

Scott has in the letter also talked about his various accomplishments and also slammed his critics. He said that he has managed to get schools reopened and also expanded on virus testing. He wrote:

“Like all scientists and health policy scholars, I learned new information and synthesized the latest data from around the world, all in an effort to provide you with the best information to serve the greater good,”

Scott is a senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution. He was a special government employee on a 130-day detail that was to expire this week. But he submitted his resignation before that. Scott had spoken against face masks and also said that lockdown is a complete failure and not the solution for the pandemic. The new Joe Biden administration is also relieved with his resignation. Dr. Celine Grounder, a member of Biden’s advisory panel on the crisis said:

“I’m relieved that in the future, people who are qualified, people who are infectious disease specialists and epidemiologists like me will be helping to lead this effort,”

“You wouldn’t go to a podiatrist for a heart attack and that was essentially what was happening.”

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
