Birx: US not doing enough to prevent another pandemic like COVID
The Hill ^ | 02-28-2023 | JULIA MUELLER

Posted on 02/28/2023 11:11:43 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Deborah Birx, a physician who served as former President Trump’s coronavirus response coordinator, said on Tuesday that the U.S. isn’t doing enough to prevent another pandemic like COVID-19.

“To me, what’s really important as we went through this after SARS, and the World Health Organization’s developed treaties, we spent literally hundreds of millions of dollars on saying we were ready and we would prevent the next pandemic and it happened,” Birx said on “CNN This Morning.”

“So let’s be very clear that what we have done today has failed. And I worry that we haven’t put the new things in place that will keep us and protect us from the next pandemic,” she added.

Nothing can be done with Fauci and Birx running loose.

One problem I see with China being called the originator of COVID is that that notion will be used to exonerate the masks and vaccine coercion imposed on the people of the world.

There is no excuse for what government officials of all political parties did in regards to masks, lockdowns and coercion to get the COVID shots so don’t get in my face, blame China and think that exonerates you.

When are we ever going to drop this scam? It’s become boring and blase.

I like what Woody Harrelson said over the weekend.

The drug pushers have gotten so powerful, they can lock us all down in our homes, and refuse to let any of us leave unless we take their drugs over and over and over.

To protect us, we could just jail all the mad scientists and crazed deepstaters like her and Fauci who finance and unleash bioweapons upon civilians.

I agree with her that we aren’t doing enough. Birx, Fauci, etc, should be in jail awaiting trial for crimes against humanity. That would go a long way to preventing a repeat of what happened.

Until O’Bonzo’s “seventeen intelligence communities” can finally get Trump convicted, they have no time to waste messing around trying to prevent another dempanic.

I can’t disagree with her.

We should be doing more to prevent pandemics like Covid-19, like putting people like her and Dr. Science in prison, and holding the CDC, NIH, and China accountable for engineering and releasing it into the wild.

For years I couldn't see Woody Harrelson on TV without thinking about his simple minded character on Cheers.

But his portrayal a couple of years ago of Admiral Nimitz in Midway made we want to go sign up for the navy in my 50's.

These Fish Care More Than I Do

The Amazon river runs for thousands of miles. At some points it runs through areas of the rain forest that are almost untouched and have been barely explored. Because of the porous limestone in these areas, the river water leaks through the stone and travels deep into the earth, and forms underground pools almost a mile below the surface. Over thousands of years, small, blind transparent fish have evolved in these pools. These fish have never seen the sun or surface and have never been seen by humans. These fish care more about this story than I do.

You mean partnering with the kind of countries that our leaders want to turn us into?
