Dr. Deborah Birx said she took her Thanksgiving jaunt to Delaware because her parents were so down in the dumps, they “stopped eating and drinking”—a justification ripped by people who said it was her coronavirus restrictions that prevented them from seeing their own dying loved ones.
In her interview with Newsy, in which the White House coronavirus task force coordinator revealed she plans to retire over the scandal of breaking her own travel guidance, Birx complained about how her family had been suffering over her own guidelines.
“My parents stopped eating and drinking because they were so depressed,”the 64-year-old complained to Newsy.
“My daughter hasn’t left that house in 10 months, my parents have been isolated for 10 months.They’ve become deeply depressed,” Birx said of the need to “recover from the trauma of the last 10 months.”
Birx was quickly eviscerated online for being “tone deaf” and for suggesting that it justified her breaking her own task force’s rules even as they had far more significant consequences for many other families during the pandemic.
“My dad died of Covid surrounded by people in hazmat suits.He didn’t understand,” writer Mark Aldrich replied to Newsy’s interview.
“My mom couldn’t visit him. She is depressed. Birx’ parents felt depressed? I’m sorry. She still has a one parent surplus over my sister & me,”he wrote.
Peg Manley tweeted: “My mother died in March, we still haven’t buried her.”
Birx “hasn’t a clue,” Manley wrote. “We have all gone without family. Without celebrations.”
A Twitter user named Kristopher said the isolation was even worse for his 78-year-old father, who lives alone.
“I haven’t been able to TRAVEL to see him in over 10 months.I’ve listened to the experts.

“Why are you and your family special? At least your parents and daughter aren’t alone.”

So?

They ain't got no pills for that? Time to re-open the Purdue Pharma factories and 'turn those machines back on!'.
Trying to yank those heart strings ain’t she?
I don’t care.
I don’t believe her.
I don’t CARE.
Don’t you think other people’s beloved parents were depressed and stopped eating and drinking?! But they remained lonely and depressed because people followed YOUR ORDERS.
You’re a DAMN GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL who threw around power and stole an election because it got you tweets and invited to the right parties with not a thought as to what your actions were actually doing.
FU lady!
These folks didn’t look after their loved ones because of some bureaucrat?
Cowards!
Another democRAT FRAUD!
Wave the wet diaper.
Very well said!
I cant believe the chutzpah. She’s one of those most responsible for this situation, and she has the nerve to whine - and take it onto herself to break her own death-bringing, society-killing regulations?

I wish this useless fraud would just disappear.
We just lost a dear neighbor. Elderly. He and his wife in a rest home.
His wife was not allowed to be with him when he passed...nor allowed to attend his funeral. She’s heart sick.
And these elites can do whatever the hell they want.
Yet another DC sociopath.
She will "retire" with her full pension. No big deal.
