President Donald Trump lashed out at Dr. Deborah Birx, a top official on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, on Monday after she expressed a grim outlook on the virus still rocking the country.
âI have never been called Pollyannish or non-scientific or non-data-driven,â Birx said. âAnd I will stake my 40-year career on those fundamental principles of utilizing data hydroxychloroquine and bleach injections to really implement better programs to save more lives.â
Really, Dr. Birx, anyone paying attention could see this coming from a hundred miles away. Donnie doesnât like his enablers to say anything that could conceivably be considered criticism or contrary to his fantasies.
At this point, Trump can attack all he wants. All I hear is âArgle Bargle Lies Nonesense.â After Nevada already shifted into high gear sending out mail-in ballots, itâs only a matter of time before other states follow suit. Trump is a dead man walking.
Journalists have available to them facts that can lay out for the American people just how âsuccessfulâ this virus is being handled. Why the hell they donât utilize them is maddening.
For starters, the United States has about 4.25% of the worldâs population. Using Johns-Hopkins data, we have 25.8% of confirmed COVID-19 cases, and our fatalities from the disease represent 22.4% of the world total.
I rarely, if ever, see it laid out so plainly by the media.
Birx has finally begun to realize that she canât continue to kiss Trumpâs ass if she wants to keep her reputation intact. Unfortunately for her, itâs too late. Sheâs already destroyed her reputation and I doubt she could do much to rehabilitate it at this point. Sheâll be lucky if sheâs only quickly forgotten after being allowed to retire quietly next year.
Itâs only a matter of time before some trump attack ferret says that Birx had never been right about anything.
Not sure why she has suddenly become enlightened, but maybe some cultists will listen to her and she will do some good. But itâs too little too late if she expects to salvage her reputation.
The amazing thing is that if Trump had simply turned everything over to Birx and Fauci and just spent the last 6 months golfing and saying nothing heâd be well on his way to re-election. But he needs the attention too much to do that.
âSo Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China VirusâŚ"
