WASHINGTON — Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, sounded a dire alarm on Sunday amid spiking Covid-19 cases across America as she expressed frustration with government officials who ignore public health guidance as caseloads and deaths rise.

Speaking during an interview on NBC News' “Meet the Press,” Birx said that it’s especially frustrating to see governors and local officials refuse to enact the same mitigation strategies they used to successfully curb the virus’ spread in the summer.

How many of these “myths” were initially sent out by health care organizations who often make announcements prematurely? Science is constantly learning about covid and just because people don’t buy the fad-of-the-moment doesn’t mean that they are falling for myths. Don’t have constantly moving targets and people might take you more seriously.

They’ve been crying “wolf” far too loud and far too long.

Scarf-ette is another who, along with Fauci, needs to STFU.

Half those myths were probably begun by government health officials who were pulling “science” out of their ass when they clear knew nothing about what they were talking about.

I still recall when the health gurus did an about face and told everybody that masks were of major importance, not latex gloves. Initially, they were telling us to wear gloves and masks were optional.

So don’t give me some pablum about fighting “myths” when half the crap health experts were spewing turned out to be myths.

Myth: Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx aren’t the greatest people alive.
Fact: We all know they are in fact the greatest.

They don’t help their cause when leftist rioters are declared exempt from the virus.

The final nail in their coffin is when politicians have one rule for themselves and other rules for everybody else.

Science used to tell us that leeches applied to the skin were effective treatments for all sorts of diseases.

Science used to tell us that lobotomies were effective treatments for all sorts of mental and emotional problems.

Science used to tell us...

Science is always provisional, never final. Fauci told us decades ago that a vaccine for HIV was just around the corner. He was dead wrong. How come he can’t be wrong now about anything? How come everything out of his mouth is now considered gospel truth by the media? Oh yeah...power and control. That’s what it’s all about. And getting rid of Trump.

The Nobel scientist that discovered the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test said Fauci was a con artist.

The scientist had a timely death Aug 2019.

science is systematized knowledge.

WHO made the NOVEL virus?

why? what is 35 USC 101?

what do placental and pangolin antigens have to
do with the SPIKE protein used to WEAPONIZE the common cold?

how much $ has been made from patents?

how many have been murdered by the patented virus?

who gets the $ for the vaccines?

who get the $ for the treatments?

Alex, RIP, who are CDC and FauXi?

There is always at least one more potential vector for a virus than experts will acknowledge.

“We cannot go into the holiday season — Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza — with the same kind of attitude that: ‘Those gatherings don’t apply to me.’ They apply to everyone, if you don’t want to lose your grandparents, your aunt.”

The last of my grandparents died in 1958. None of my aunts/uncles are still alive.

Myths are started with the government and the elected officials hypocrisy. Here’s one myth, covid knows zip codes and the time of day. We know this because they close restaurants at 10pm, not 9, not 11. Also, even one block away from a zip code change, restaurants are closed, covid knows the borders.

Even more bizarre, covid know if you are A democrat, Democrats can do things under lock down that they prohibit others from doing, because apparently it doesn’t affect Dem elected officials.

Myths, like testing is supposed to somehow protect people but the tests are so inaccurate as to be useless, but we are also supposed to believe the numbers like “1 bazzillion deaths! A quadzillion cases!” even though the tests are useless.

Dr. Brix is sending a message to the Biden team he is available for a job, just as Fauci did.
