Dr. Birx strikes me as a smiling Pollyanna...

[blitzen]

1. Translated...you're on your own, so get with it.

2. We'll have to do it, since the Trump Maladministration clearly is doing nothing.

[hlthe2b]

3. Well, that would be our only hope. It surely isn't coming from Trump or Pence's CV Task force

She knowingly sold her soul. Pathetic and a bit sad, but in the words of Rick Wilson, "ETTD"...

4. her experience was with HIV

and my memory (others will need to correct me!)

But my memory is that she and those in government had to be dragged forward (ACT UP). She says the answers will come from the community (prescribing things off-label, testing things in the field).

Again, my memory is that ACT UP forced this option because the gov't was not acting quickly enough.

8. Your memory is correct. nt

[malaise]

5. I call her Scarfie

[LuvNewcastle]

6. I get the same impression.

She's a cheerleader.

[mcar]

9. Yep

[Hoyt]

10. She was appointed by Obama and has a good resume. I would bet she doesn't get any pleasure

from standing behind trump.

[rockfordfile]

11. BS enough of this BS. She's showing her true self.

[Hoyt]

12. Now, that's a reasoned response.

13. She reminds me of Katherine Harris

With the constant blinking and bobble heading and scarves.

14. Her main job is to be behind Trump and nod her head in approval. (I counted 200 nods)

By the third presser it had become too obvious and they moved her to the side.
