Dr. Birx calls protesters without masks ‘devastatingly worrisome’

Dr. Deborah Birx said protesters who gather without wearing masks and not practicing social distancing at rallies against states’ lockdown regulations are “devastatingly worrisome” because they could spread the coronavirus to at-risk family members.

Birx, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, was asked by host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” about crowds that gathered at Michigan’s state capitol from a “public health standpoint.”

“It’s devastatingly worrisome to me personally because if they go home and, in fact, their grandmother or their grandfather who has a co-morbid condition and they have a serious or a very or an unfortunate outcome, they will feel guilty for the rest of our lives,” she responded. “So we need to protect each other at the same time we’re voicing our discontent.”

Demonstrations against governors’ stay-at-home orders have ramped up in the past weeks as the economic effects caused by the pandemic worsen and more Americans apply for unemployment benefits.

She needs to worry about something real. Like keeping her job when people find out the deception she has projected onto the country

Science is not the be all and end all. There are other things. She is seemingly unaware of them.

I have never seen Dr. Birx wear a mask. Perhaps she should start wearing one and show us how it's done. I'm just saying.

A frustrated Michigan pilot flew an “F U” pattern over Grand Rapids to spell out his message to Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer about her lockdown order.

The American people are thru with their models including all the fake death certificates.

Forget the protesters. Georgia is acting like nothing happened. I can’t wait to see the outcome of Kemp’s experiment of ignoring the phased reopening gating criteria.

His decision has caused folks here to ignore social distancing, masks, you name it. We’ll know this month whether the floodgates have been opened to a new spike in cases.

So if I stand 6 feet and 1 inch away from people a mask isn’t necessary?

Why doesn’t Trump bring forward some medical advisers who have some economic common sense?

Is “Trumps plan” to drain the swamp by hiring all the swamp dwellers?

She’s a control freak and just went against other doctors that see these masks as very harmful, including the fact that they are contaminated breeding grounds for disease.

Umm pardon me Dr. Birx - but the CDCs own science says that mask wearing by healthy individuals has NOT been shown to prevent getting the virus.

Are you denying the science?

“Science is not the be all and end all. There are other things. She is seemingly unaware of them.”

“Devastating worry” is not a mental state conducive to the practice of science or to rational thought. She is not speaking as a scientist here, so one wonders why her words here have more weight than anyone else’s in the country.
