A former Trump Administration medical advisor has claimed that long Covid is similar to HIV.
Dr Deborah Birx, who served as White House Coordinator from 2020-2021, claimed that, like HIV, Covid ‘quietly destroyed’ some people’s immune systems even if they were asymptomatic, leaving them prone to health problems months and years later.
But the comments drew criticism from academics online, who accused her of downplaying the severity of HIV and overstating the damage of long Covid, which is widely thought to have been over-exaggerated.
In an interview with News Nation Wednesday, Dr Birx said ‘the reason the comparison to HIV is important,’ is because both are asymptomatic, adding: ‘There’s a lot of destruction that mild and moderate Covid can do that is unseen, just like HIV was destroying our immune system.
So let’s inject people with mild Covid. Speechless with anger. Finally, they admit it.
