Birx decides to tell the truth about Trump's Covid-19 FAIL

[BoyNextDoor]

“I was marginalized every day. I mean, that is no question. The majority of the people in the White House did not take this seriously,” said Birx

“He [Trump] felt very strongly that I misrepresented the pandemic in the United States, that I made it out to be much worse than it is,” she said. “I feel like I didn’t even make it out as bad as it was.”

Birx also said that most of the virus-related deaths in the United States after the first 100,000 in the spring surge could have been prevented with a more robust response. “That’s what bothers me every day,” she said.

If it truly bothered her...she would have done something. That is the reason she is unemployed now. She is no better than Donald

Yup. She failed her country.

Yeah, I think you'll see the continual reinvention (and blame shifting) as we go forward, from all sides on the pandemic.

That is human nature - where a "force of nature" must be "someone's" fault, that human tendency is "what if" things that all the "what if" wishes in the world don't really make a difference, one way or the other. The world is too complex a place.

The virus was also going to "reach as far as it could reach" in the various societies. That's what viruses do. They replicate. They survive. Saying something was a failure indicates a basic belief that we, as these wonderful, benevolent, loved, and all powerful human beings can change nature.

Birx's best move is to shut up and quietly go away. She made her choices in the Trump regime; she's stuck with them.

Trump admin failed the country.

Yep..

All the enablers should come forward and tell the story of that dysfunctional and anti-American administration.

No it doesn't. Your statement is an over-generalization.

Some countries did better than others at mitigating transmission. The USA sucked at developing an effective testing and contact tracing program, so we soon led the world in transmission rates. Once we accomplished that milestone, we sucked at implementing public health measures to minimize transmission, so half a million people died within a year and we went through three massive waves of infection. These failures mostly had to do with the denial of science and the undermining of public health measures by certain political leaders.

The main thing the USA did right was invest in molecular biology research starting in the 1970s, which gradually led to advances in basic science. Drug companies benefited from this peer-reviewed science, targeted the human immunity system in new ways, and then developed COVID vaccines rapidly because of the new molecular biology techniques.

Furthermore, he fails to understand exactly why those that died...died. I swear...it is like teaching kids here. No...my kids understand this better...

If he wants to know, he can look at my posts in the Covid threads.
