Coronavirus whistleblower praised pandemic response before leaving White House
Washington Examiner ^ | September 17, 2020 | Rob Crilly

A former White House coronavirus official praised the “unwavering” work of the president's COVID-19 task force in her departure letter, before accusing President Trump of having a “flat out disregard for human life” and saying the "ongoing response" was "a failure."

In an interview with the Washington Post published on Thursday, Olivia Troye became the first official who worked extensively on the pandemic response to speak out against Trump, saying that his actions cost lives.

“The president’s rhetoric and his own attacks against people in his administration trying to do the work, as well as the promulgation of false narratives and incorrect information of the virus, have made this ongoing response a failure,” she said.

However, White House officials familiar with her work say she did not raise concerns during her time as an adviser and delivered glowing praise when she left.

“For the past six months, it has been an absolute honor working closely with all of you and your staffs, as part of the brain trust that has valiantly faced the challenges of fighting what has been one of the worst pandemics of our generation,” she wrote on July 23, according to the text of her letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Olivia should go home and make babies. Obviously she does not have the temperament to have a job.

If masks are the most important tool we have against Covid-19, per Dr. Redford, then we have no tools for Covid.

Redford is a tool. I wouldn’t trust him to diagnose and treat athlete’s foot.

That is probably the last thing she wants. You can lay book that the opposition from this female ex staffers is because Trump’s potential SCOTUS picks. Picks that are likely to view Roe V Wade with a jaundiced eye.

“The mask issue was a critical one,” she said. “If we would have gotten ahead on that and stressed the importance of it, we could have slowed the spread significantly. It was detrimental that it became a politicized issue. It still lingers today.” From the article.

Still no RCT showing that masks* prevent the spread of the virus. Whether as “source control” or “protective measure”. They may even lead to more cases as sick people may get a false sense of security and wear them instead of self isolating.

*Poorly fitted facial coverings of thin fabric that easily becomes dislodged and soaked from perspiration.

According to this woman Trump said the following,

“Maybe this COVID thing is a good thing. I don’t have to shake hands with these disgusting people.”

BS. These people have no shame. They are Hell bound parasites.

Yes, you’re correct, it is Redfield. I read it off of his name-plate without expanding the video to full screen and my eyes failed me.

Thanks for catching that.

Trump’s potential SCOTUS picks

Did you have some insider information?

No. I don’t. And I am just guessing. But abortion “rights” are the be all and end all for some voters. Trump’s picks for a new justice could very well be a threat in their view.

Not a biggie. The name stuck with me because a big game rifle I once owned had a 3-12 Redfield scope on it.

Why the heck would you want her to pass on those genes? We don’t need more people in the US that are corrupt, ethicless and dishonest. We already have enough.
