Dr. Birx tells @drsanjaygupta all Covid-19 deaths after the first surge “could have been mitigated or decreased”

Like thanks for the 4th quarter insights I guess Dr. Birx but Joe Biden has this one handled now.

1. I am not as hard on Birx as some. From my perspective she was between a rock and a hard place

She wasn’t in the same position as Fauci. Yes she could have quit, and while it wouldn’t have changed anything, there was still a chance I am sure she reasoned that she could move trump in the right direction. That was hopeless

Still, she serves as an inside witness to just how trump mishandled the entire disaster, and that itself is important

[soothsayer]

2. I feel she let her evangelicalism get in the way

She seemed to be a little too much of a drumpf fan for my taste.

But what do I know.

[JohnSJ]

3. I don't think she was a trump fan. I think she thought she might be able to persuade trump

to do the right thing, which never was going to happen

Now she serves as an insider witness to what a disaster trump was, and that itself serves a purpose

[durablend]

5. Yeah, a "purpose"

"Don't blame ME for it!"

[JohnSJ]

8. I didn't say that. It is important to have witnesses. Especially today where there are elements

trying to rewrite history

Just look at what most of the republicans have being doing regarding Jan 6, 2021

[soothsayer]

6. Really? I think she practically swooned over him sometimes

[jrthin]

9. Exactly. I remember her interview where she said,

I paraphrase, 45's understanding and devouring of the scientific material was impressive. To which most of us, at the time, just rolled our eyes.

[soothsayer]

11. Yeah this

[Arazi]

17. Yes, #Traitor had a masterful grasp of the issues as a former businessman

She facilitated his catastrophic behavior. She's complicit in genocide

[jrthin]

21. Hell yes!!!!

[BlueLucy]

13. I don't know about that.

She talked about Trump with glowing fondness.

[Ilsa]

22. I think she didn't look at trump objectively enough.

I don't think she was "swooning," but allowed the power of trump or the office go to her head and affect her clarity.

[durablend]

4. A shame she was more interested in fashion

"Gee, which scarf today--the solid or the plaid?"

[Me.]

7. Sorry But When She Just Sat There When He Endorsed Drinking Hydro...

and said nothing then or after all her so called excuses went out the window. And now she has the nerve to come out and tell people whose loved ones have died they might not have had to?

[Boomerproud]

10. History will not treat her kindly.

[jrthin]

12. And it shouldn't.

[gulliver]

14. The only way she gets some dignity back is to tear Trump a new one.

She thinks he's an idiot and a jerk. She needs to say so. Otherwise, it's her.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. trump's incompetence in handling Covid should earn him a new a&&hole every day for the rest of his

life. And personally, in my own opinion, he should be charged w/ careless and reckless manslaughter in all of those resulting deaths from Covid because of his playing around w/ politics and such, ignoring the serious nature (hoax, remember) of Covid.

[Bristlecone]

16. Her silence then was complicity.

I will give her the opportunity for hindsight if I am allowed the same.

She cost American lives by towing the party line.

I won't disparage her for trying to make things right now though.

[marble falls]

18. A little too late. We already knew that. Why didn't you express that to your boss?

[JI7]

19. If Trump had "won" she would still be supporting him

My problem with her is she seems the type to easily go along with something she clearly knows is wrong just to please someone in power.

She isn't some low income earner struggling to get by. She would easily be able to get another well paying job if she quit or was fired for not propping up the shit.
