The bulk of her book is a brag fest about how she kept subverting the White House’s push to open up the economy – that is, allow people to exercise their rights and freedoms. Once Trump turned against her, and eventually found other people to provide good advice like the tremendously brave Scott Atlas – five months later he arrived in an attempt to save the country from disaster – Birx turned to rallying around her inner circle (Anthony Fauci, Robert Redfield, Matthew Pottinger, and a few others) plus assembling a realm of protection outside of her that included CNN reporter Sanjay Gupta and, very likely, the virus team at the New York Times (which gives her book a glowing review).Recall that for the remainder of the year, the White House was urging normalcy while many states kept locking down. It was an incredible confusion. The CDC was all over the map. I gained the distinct impression of two separate regimes in charge: Trump’s vs. the administrative state he could not control. Trump would say one thing on the campaign trail but the regulations and disease panic kept pouring out of his own agencies.
Birx admits that she was a major part of the reason, due to her sneaky alternation of weekly reports to the states.
After the heavily edited documents were returned to me, I’d reinsert what they had objected to, but place it in those different locations. I’d also reorder and restructure the bullet points so the most salient—the points the administration objected to most—no longer fell at the start of the bullet points. I shared these strategies with the three members of the data team also writing these reports. Our Saturday and Sunday report-writing routine soon became: write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit.
Fortunately, this strategic sleight-of-hand worked. That they never seemed to catch this subterfuge left me to conclude that, either they read the finished reports too quickly or they neglected to do the word search that would have revealed the language to which they objected. In slipping these changes past the gatekeepers and continuing to inform the governors of the need for the big-three mitigations—masks, sentinel testing, and limits on indoor social gatherings—I felt confident I was giving the states permission to escalate public health mitigation with the fall and winter coming.
As another example, once Scott Atlas came to the rescue in August to introduce some good sense into this wacky world, he worked with others to dial back the CDC’s fanatical attachment to universal and constant testing. Atlas knew that “track, trace, and isolate” was both a fantasy and a massive invasion of people’s liberties that would yield no positive public-health outcome. He put together a new recommendation that was only for those who were sick to test – just as one might expect in normal life.
After a week-long media frenzy, the regulations flipped in the other direction.
Birx reveals that it was her doing:
This wasn’t the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in. Immediately after the Atlas-influenced revised CDC testing guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield…. Less than a week later, Bob [Redfield] and I had finished our rewrite of the guidance and surreptitiously posted it. We had restored the emphasis on testing to detect areas where silent spread was occurring. It was a risky move, and we hoped everyone in the White House would be too busy campaigning to realize what Bob and I had done. We weren’t being transparent with the powers that be in the White House…
One might ask how the heck she got away with this. She explains:
[T]he guidance gambit was only the tip of the iceberg of my transgressions in my effort to subvert Scott Atlas’s dangerous positions. Ever since Vice President Pence told me to do what I needed to do, I’d engaged in very blunt conversations with the governors. I spoke the truth that some White House senior advisors weren’t willing to acknowledge. Censoring my reports and putting up guidance that negated the known solutions was only going to perpetuate Covid-19’s vicious circle. What I couldn’t sneak past the gatekeepers in my reports, I said in person.
She doesn’t know how much she indicts herself.
Hans Brix?
Why isn’t she in jail? I believe she is also a Lt. Col. in the Army at the time? That’s enough for hard time at Guantanamo. Doesn’t her daughter also work for Fauci?
We need a French Revolution style cleansing of all the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington.
According to her Wikipedia page, she retire as a full bird colonel in 2008.
Milley too.
This just illustrates the Government is entirely out of control. I mean this literally.
The Government is no longer under the control of the people. This isn’t about Donald Trump, he was simply our representative. The Government just does not want to do what we the people want it to do. As such, it refuses to take our direction.
If this isn’t treason what is?
“She admits that she deliberately lied to Trump from the very beginning”
Out of high school she attended a conservative Christian college in NY State. (My brother works there now.) The lying and subversion she’s been practicing is not a good testimony if she’s supposed to be a Christian.
Perhaps she does know, and it’s part of a legal/moral defense to say, “would I have talked about it in my book if I thought it was wrong?”
Wow. Plenty of evidence for trial and conviction. This is direct insubordination.
“We need a French Revolution style cleansing of all the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington.”
I’ve heard that twice in the last couple weeks by some talking heads. When it’s literally “out there”, things seem to be coming to a head.
She’ll skate. Don’t get more deep state than her or Fauci.
Good point.
Either way it shows the coup was going on beyond the specific election concerns.
She describes sedition and abuse of power.
An arrogance and hubris with contempt for the American people and rule of law and democratic process.
We all knew there were shenanigans going on and this *pandemic* was contrived, but when they come right out and admit it, it’s staggering.
It goes to show their confidence and arrogance that they think they can admit to something like this and nothing will happen to them.
And it may not here on earth. However, on their appointment day with The Lord God, that’s going to be another matter.
Still it would be good to see some real justice done here and now on earth.
Scarf (birx), Dwarf (fauci) et al. were/are traitors. And the Scarf writes a book to make it clear to everyone.
If she’s engaged in that kind of deceit and subterfuge, then I’d hazard a guess she never was a Christian.
Within the first few weeks of the pandemic, Dr Birx listed four major known comorbidities for having a bad outcome after Covid infection. One of them was obesity. Did someone get to her to stop “fat shaming” since she did not mention it again even though obesity and the often severe health issues that come with obesity, clearly are high risk factors.
So, instead of giving advice on how to improve one’s immune system, she kept with the masking and isolation. I don’t think she even suggested taking vitamin D, an inexpensive and potentially very effective supplement.
Is she just evil?
