Dr. Birx plans retirement after bending COVID rules with Thanksgiving beach house gathering
NY Daily News ^

Dr. Deborah Birx announced Tuesday that she will retire just days after she was accused of bending her own rules with a Thanksgiving weekend gathering at a beach house.

The White House coronavirus task force leader said she would stay in her role until President-elect Joe Biden takes office before stepping down.

...

“I will have to say that this experience has been a bit overwhelming,” Birx said. “It’s been very difficult on my family.”

Birx visited the beach home over the holiday weekend with members of more than one household in apparent violation of Centers for Disease Control restrictions, the Associated Press reported.

She admitted being taken aback by the harsh criticism over the visit, which she insisted was misplaced.

Like millions of Americans, she said her family has paid a heavy price during the months-long pandemic.

“They’ve tried to be supportive. But to drag my family into this, when my daughter hasn’t left that house in 10 months, my parents have been isolated for 10 months,” Birx said. “These are very difficult things.”

This Birx phony is not only a hypocrite.

She's a coward to face the music.

No. They just know the truth. It is not a dangerous virus at all. Very low IFR for most moderately healthy people, even old ones.

“was accused of bending her own rules”

She did not bend them. As one of our betters, the rules don’t apply to her.

Of course they have been lying to us, but too many of them have been caught ignoring their own rules that now if the most gullible people are beginning to realize it’s a lie.

I’m surprised Jocelyn doesn’t have her ear-buds in listening to some classic Eric Clapner.

Wasn’t she in the military?

What an awful example.

So she thinks her family are the only ones isolated? How about the people who died alone, how about the weddings that never took place, the people who have committed suicide from loneliness?

As far as I know...this house is being lived in by Birx and hubby, daughter and her family and Birx's parents. They must be close to 90 as Birx is 64 and has an older brother.

Beach home?? Maybe located on beach but not just a little summer home.
