Dr. Birx Says Trump’s
Dysfunctional Response
to the Pandemic Caused
Needless Deaths.
Dr. Deborah Birx, coronavirus response coordinator
for former President Donald Trump, was featured in a
CNN documentary broadcast on Sunday night.
The documentary covered the United States’
initial response to COVID-19.
Dr. Birx, when pressed by host Sanjay Gupta,
acknowledged that better coordination by
the White House could have prevented hundreds
of thousands of deaths. .
She said the administration
had “an excuse” for the
original surge, but that the
others could have been
“decreased substantially.”.
I look at it this way ― the first
time we have an excuse … There
were about 100,000 deaths that
came from that original surge. All
of the rest of them, in my mind,
could have been mitigated or
decreased substantially, Dr. Deborah Birx, via Huffpost.
She later added in the interview that the federal
government failed to “provide consistent messaging.” .
The federal government did
not provide consistent messaging
to the American people and
that is fault number one, Dr. Deborah Birx, via Huffpost.
Gupta later asked Dr. Birx whether
she was ever threatened or censored
from speaking about COVID-19. .
Dr. Birx said she received a “very uncomfortable” call
from Trump after appearing on CNN last August. .
My understanding was
I could not be national
because the president
might see it. , Dr. Deborah Birx, via Huffpost
