Here is her bio. I think we know who is the serious professional and who are the lying partisan clowns here.

Ambassador-at-Large, Deborah L. Birx, M.D., is the Coordinator of the United States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS and U.S. Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy. Ambassador Birx is a world-renowned medical expert and leader in the field of HIV/AIDS. Her three-decade-long career has focused on HIV/AIDS immunology, vaccine research, and global health. As the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Ambassador Birx oversees the implementation of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in history, as well as all U.S. Government engagement with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Serving as the U.S. Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy, she aligns the U.S. Government’s diplomacy with foreign assistance programs that address global health challenges and accelerate progress toward: achieving an AIDS-free generation; ending preventable child and maternal deaths; and preventing, detecting, and responding to infectious disease threats.

In 1985, Ambassador Birx began her career with the Department of Defense (DoD) as a military-trained clinician in immunology, focusing on HIV/AIDS vaccine research. From 1985-1989, she served as an Assistant Chief of the Hospital Immunology Service at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Through her professionalism and leadership in the field, she progressed to serve as the Director of the U.S. Military HIV Research Program (USMHRP) at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research from 1996-2005. Ambassador Birx helped lead one of the most influential HIV vaccine trials in history (known as RV 144 or the Thai trial), which provided the first supporting evidence of any vaccine’s potential effectiveness in preventing HIV infection. During this time, she also rose to the rank of Colonel, bringing together the Navy, Army, and Air Force in a new model of cooperation – increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the U.S. Military’s HIV/AIDS efforts through inter- and intra-agency collaboration. Then known as Colonel Birx, she was awarded two prestigious U.S. Meritorious Service Medals and the Legion of Merit Award for her groundbreaking research, leadership, and management skills during her tenure at DOD.

From 2005-2014, Ambassador Birx served successfully as the Director of CDC’s Division of Global HIV/AIDS (DGHA), which is part of the agency’s Center for Global Health. As DGHA Director, she utilized her leadership ability, superior technical skills, and infectious passion to achieve tremendous public health impact. She successfully led the implementation of CDC’s PEPFAR programs around the world and managed an annual budget of more than $1.5 billion. Ambassador Birx was responsible for all of the agency’s global HIV/AIDS activities, including providing oversight to more than 400 staff at headquarters, over 1,500 staff in the field, and more than 45 country and regional offices in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, and Latin America. Recognized for her distinguished and dedicated commitment to building local capacity and strengthening quality laboratory health services and systems in Africa, in 2011, Ambassador Birx received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the African Society for Laboratory Medicine. In 2014, CDC honored her leadership in advancing the agency’s HIV/AIDS response with the highly prestigious William C. Watson, Jr. Medal of Excellence.

Ambassador Birx has published over 220 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, authored nearly a dozen chapters in scientific publications, as well as developed and patented vaccines. She received her medical degree from the Hershey School of Medicine, Pennsylvania State University, and beginning in 1980 she trained in internal medicine and basic and clinical immunology at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health. Ambassador Birx is board certified in internal medicine, allergy and immunology, and diagnostic and clinical laboratory immunology.

What nonsense for it to bother people that he called her “Deborah”. He’s called Fauci “Tony” plenty of times.

Bottom line: Being a Leftist means you think you’re smarter than ANYONE. Including a very accomplished doctor.

Let be clear here. The Fake News lying for political partisan reasons needs to be end. Here is a serious question yet to be asked,

Why did the state of New York waste billions of dollars for the last decade on nonsense instead of tending to their critical Public health infrastructure.

Why is the whole USA, yet again, having to bail out New York for their habitual failure to properly manager\ their infrastructure?

Why is NY in total melt down when the total critical cases in the US over all is 2,463?

Why is a very rich state with a total population of 19.54 million totally incapable of managing their public health infrastructure without the rest of the USA having to come fix their incompetence?

Question: Why is a very rich state with a total population of 19.54 million totally incapable of managing their public health infrastructure without the rest of the USA having to come fix their incompetence?

Answer: New York Governor is democrat...

They didn’t really care. It was just a way to bash the president and attempt to interfere with the effort to manage this mess.

The second she gave the MSM the smackdown with their fear-mongering, they turned on her as well, because they think that will “hurt Trump”.

They don’t care that the simple definition of “hurt Trump” is “make this mess as bad as it can possibly be”.

At least they’re doing it in public. Time to screen-cap, between GoTo meetings and Zoom conference calls...

Swap NY for California and you get the same answer: Governor and most large city mayors are democrat.

Joe Lockhart and Dan Poofer aren’t fit to be in the same room as Dr. Birx.

These attacks are TAWDRY and Tasteless at the very least.

Again like the CNN anchor that BECLOWNED herself with Pete Navarro, Trump should call these guys out by name at the next NEWS Conference and publicly shame them.

The Lady reminds me of Ms.Thatcher...she is classy.

"Ambassador-at-Large, Deborah L. Birx, M.D., is the Coordinator of the United States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS and U.S. Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy. Ambassador Birx is a world-renowned medical expert and leader in the field of HIV/AIDS. Her three-decade-long career has focused on HIV/AIDS immunology, vaccine research, and global health. As the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Ambassador Birx oversees the implementation of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in history, as well as all U.S. Government engagement with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

The administration and "We The People" are better off with this distinguished Lady helping V.P.Pence and this POTUS....regardless how the Lincoln Project, the NRDC and other Anti-American deep state supporters continue to tear at this President...We Americans are so strong and they are so sick.
