with a lot of credible and high level experience with infection disease...

but when I hear her speak she sounds more like if Kellyanne Conway had a medical degree. She generally thanks somebody for the question way too much, says what is usually just some bullshit to cover for the admin, and smiles.

It doesn't matter what else you did in your career. If you serve as a mouthpiece for this administration during the worst pandemic in 100 years, that's who you are forever.
