Former Trump COVID Honcho Birx Admits to Deceiving the White House and Just Making Stuff up to Push Her Personal Agenda​

Birx seems to have known all along that COVID was created in a Chinese lab.​

Former President Donald Trump’s adviser believes Covid-19 could have leaked from a Wuhan lab where scientists were working on vaccines for similar viruses.
Infectious diseases expert and former presidential Covid adviser Dr Deborah Birx told The Mail on Sunday that coronavirus ‘came out of the box ready to infect’ when it emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2020.
The adviser said most viruses take months or years to become highly infectious to humans. But, Dr Birx said, Covid ‘was already more infectious than flu when it first arrived’.
She said that meant Covid was either an ‘abnormal thing of nature’ or that Chinese scientists were ‘working on coronavirus vaccines’ and became infected.
‘It happens, labs aren’t perfect, people aren’t perfect, we make mistakes and there can be contamination,’ she said.
She accused China of initially covering up how infectious Covid was.
Birx said Covid’s infectiousness was consistent with a virus which had been experimented on in a lab.
‘In laboratories you grow the virus in human cells, allowing it to adapt more. Each time it passes through human cells it becomes more adapted,’ she said.

15 Days to Slow the Spread was the fraud we all thought it was.​

No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn’t have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them. However hard it had been to get the fifteen-day shutdown approved, getting another one would be more difficult by many orders of magnitude.

While we’re talking about frauds, can we remember the sordid and stupid history of the “six-foot separation” rule? READ: Six-Foot Social Distancing Is on the Way out, but How We Got There in the First Place Is the Real Story.

The 10-person limit on gatherings was the fraud we all thought it was.​

I had settled on ten knowing that even that was too many, but I figured that ten would at least be palatable for most Americans—high enough to allow for most gatherings of immediate family but not enough for large dinner parties and, critically, large weddings, birthday parties, and other mass social events.… Similarly, if I pushed for zero (which was actually what I wanted and what was required), this would have been interpreted as a “lockdown”—the perception we were all working so hard to avoid.

I don’t think there has been any evidence that large social events have any effect on the spread of COVID. The media tried desperately to libel the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (As the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Begins the Same Tired People Make the Same Tired Apocalyptic Claims That It Is a ‘Superspreader’ Event) and the Super Bowl (Super Bowl Was Not a ‘Superspreader’ Event, Creating a Sad in the Pandemic Porn Industry) as “superspreader” events.

Birx hated Dr. Scott Atlas…probably more now because he’s been proven right.​

On August 10, 2020, Dr. Scott Atlas joined the COVID task force. He saw Birx’s game and fought it, ultimately being forced out of the White House. Michael Senger’s review is epic.

Birx’s apparent plan to almost singlehandedly destroy the world’s primary democratic superpower is going swimmingly until she meets the book’s leading antagonist: Dr. Scott Atlas. To Birx’s disgust, Atlas takes a strong stand for all the things she loathes most—things like human rights, democratic governance, and, most of all, freedom.
Birx lists Atlas’s “dangerous assertions”:

That schools could open everywhere without any precautions (neither masking nor testing), regardless of the status of the spread in the community.
That children did not transmit the virus.
That children didn’t get ill. That there was no risk to anyone young.
That long Covid-19 was being overplayed.
That heart-damage findings were incidental.
That comorbidities did not play a critical role in communities, especially among teachers.
That merely employing some physical distance overcame the virus’s ill effects.
That masks were overrated and not needed.
That the Coronavirus Task Force had gotten the country into this situation by promoting testing.
That testing falsely increased case counts in the United States in comparison with other countries.
That targeted testing and isolation constituted a lockdown, plain and simple, and weren’t needed.

That every word of Atlas’s assertions was obviously 100% true only made them all the more dangerous. As Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said, “One word of truth shall outweigh the whole world,” and nothing would derail the world’s communist destiny faster than letting these self-evident truths spread freely.

The bold-faced items are the ones in which Atlas has been vindicated. A quick glance at the list tells you who was more correct.

Birx deliberately deceived and lied to President Trump and his advisers.​

Shocking, right? The idea that a privileged and entitled liberal with a terminal case of god syndrome would deceive people to get her way, I mean, smack my ass and call me Sally; what will happen next?

This is from Jeffrey Tucker’s review of the Birx book.

Birx admits that she was a major part of the reason, due to her sneaky alternation of weekly reports to the states.

After the heavily edited documents were returned to me, I’d reinsert what they had objected to, but place it in those different locations. I’d also reorder and restructure the bullet points so the most salient—the points the administration objected to most—no longer fell at the start of the bullet points. I shared these strategies with the three members of the data team also writing these reports. Our Saturday and Sunday report-writing routine soon became: write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit.
Fortunately, this strategic sleight-of-hand worked. That they never seemed to catch this subterfuge left me to conclude that, either they read the finished reports too quickly or they neglected to do the word search that would have revealed the language to which they objected. In slipping these changes past the gatekeepers and continuing to inform the governors of the need for the big-three mitigations—masks, sentinel testing, and limits on indoor social gatherings—I felt confident I was giving the states permission to escalate public health mitigation with the fall and winter coming.

As another example, once Scott Atlas came to the rescue in August to introduce some good sense into this wacky world, he worked with others to dial back the CDC’s fanatical attachment to universal and constant testing. Atlas knew that “track, trace, and isolate” was both a fantasy and a massive invasion of people’s liberties that would yield no positive public-health outcome. He put together a new recommendation that was only for those who were sick to test – just as one might expect in normal life.
After a week-long media frenzy, the regulations flipped in the other direction.
Birx reveals that it was her doing:

This wasn’t the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in. Immediately after the Atlas-influenced revised CDC testing guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield…. Less than a week later, Bob [Redfield] and I had finished our rewrite of the guidance and surreptitiously posted it. We had restored the emphasis on testing to detect areas where silent spread was occurring. It was a risky move, and we hoped everyone in the White House would be too busy campaigning to realize what Bob and I had done. We weren’t being transparent with the powers that be in the White House.

This book is not a “good look” for Dr. Birx. Her book provides a detailed analysis of what happened during the COVID-19 quarantines, as well as a detailed account of the decisions that she herself has been responsible for. In fact, she has unwittingly condemned her decisions and provided a detailed indictment her own behavior during the outbreak.

In her recent book, Dr. Birx has demonstrated that she has lots of blame to spread around. She blames Trump. She blames the CDC. She blames the media. She blames Scot Atlas. She blames everyone - but herself.

She does not blame Xi Jinping, who is the top leader in the Communist Party of China and the President of the People's Republic of China. She does not question his motives of bringing lockdowns to the western world. She never even mentions his name in her book, despite her praise for his develop of governmental policies to quarantine whole populations.

Michael Senger, writes about Birx’s book:

Virtually every page of Birx’s monstrosity of a book, Silent Invasion, reads like a how-to guide in subverting a democratic superpower from within, as could only be told through the personal account of someone who was on the front lines doing just that.
Notably, though Birx’s memoir has earned relatively few reviews on Amazon, it’s earned rave reviews from Chinese state media, a feat not shared even by far-more-popular pro-lockdown books such as those by Michael Lewis and Lawrence Wright

Dr. Birx was the one who pushed social distancing, lock-downs (ergo: quarantines), the stopping of social gatherings, school closings and masks. She did this without ANY data of substance. She did this based on what she saw as successes in China. She never questioned that Chinese data. And that “Chinese data” was active CCP propaganda specifically designed to influence her decisions and behavior. It is hard to understand the significance of this. Whether or not she knew it, Dr. Birx functionally became an agent of weaponized CCP propaganda. Functionally, she became an intelligence asset. And her actions deeply damaged the health and economy of the United States. Read that again. Slowly. Let it sink in. And she is still unaware that what she took at face value was weaponized propaganda. In terms of evidence for failure to integrate the intelligence community into public health policy decision making, I am stunned by this reality. What the hell were they thinking!

Dr. Birx and Xi Jinping are almost single-handedly responsible for the COVID-19 global economic downturn.
​

By her own admission, it is Deborah Birx who convinced the world that they had to shut-down, that lock-downs (that is, quarantines) would work as well as all the other crazy policies of the past 2.5 years. Just look at the evidence in the USA. During the quarantines, there was almost 14% unemployment. Food lines were everywhere. Now, indictors like that U.S. foreclosures are up 39 percent from the previous quarter in 2022 Q1 and they are up 132 percent from a year ago. The economic damage our people and our country sustained due to these policies is enormous.

A large, Johns Hopkins study concluded:

"While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted," the authors advise. "In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument."

​

Dr. Birx has admitted her guilt for many sins, she just doesn’t recognize it yet. She has directly harmed our children and their future.
​

The masks alone has caused a. significant decrease in speech development, IQ and social skills in our children. The lock-downs, social distancing and masks have driven many teens and young adults to suicide. The school closures have been a huge failure - with so many horrible outcomes, that it is hard to begin to list them in a single paragraph (domestic violence, starvation of children, IQ and speech development issues, suicides, etc).

Read these paragraphs from the book and weep:

Government officials and citizens across Asia knew both the pervasive fear and the personal response that had worked before to mitigate the loss of life and the economic damage wrought by SARS and MERS. They wore masks. They decreased the frequency and size of social gatherings. Crucially, based on their recent experience, the entire citizenry and local doctors were ringing alarm bells loudly and early. Lives were on the line—lots of them. They knew what had worked before, and they would do it again.

No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn’t have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them. However hard it had been to get the fifteen-day shutdown approved, getting another one would be more difficult by many orders of magnitude.

Deborah Birx has bought into the public health school of pandemic control the idea that when a population can be “frightened, isolated, controlled, and suppressed—the safer it will be.” She developed her ideas that quarantining (locking up the US population over a period of months) from copying what the Chinese have done over the past two decades.

Many believe those Chinese policies are more about governmental control, than public health… Not only do these policies have no real science behind them, they have damaged our economy, our sovereignty, the health and well-being of our children, as well as adults and our nation. Unfortunately, this governmental over reach not only doesn’t work, it is a recipe that a totalitarian regime, even an inverted one, knows best. Is that really the road this country wants to take?

Birx is back, this time in a Fox News interview. Fauci must not want to go there or something. What she said will make you want to stick vaccine needles into a Deborah Birx voodoo doll.

NEIL CAVUTO: The 20% or so of Americans who have not been vaccinated are going to look at [Biden’s infection] and say, why bother?

BIRX: If you’re in the middle of this wave, what’s going to save you is Paxlovid … I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection and I think we overplayed the vaccines… [so get vaccinated anyways because it’ll prevent hospitalization and death] … but let’s be very clear, 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were older and vaccinated.”

Wait, what?

First of all, she said she “knew” the vaccines weren’t going to stop infection. She KNEW. So … why didn’t you SAY ANYTHING, Deborah?

Second, you “overplayed the vaccines”? Does that bother you?

Third, she says Paxlovid will “save you” in this wave. Why not other waves? Why won’t the jabs save you in this wave, if you’re uninfected? I thought you took Paxlovid AFTER infection?

Finally, and most worst, she explicitly admits “50%” of people dying are jabbed. We could quibble about that percentage, since U.S. hospitals are using funny numbers, but never mind. Let’s say “at least” HALF. Which leads us to the most significant unanswered question: if jabs prevent “serious injury and death” — if we know that for a FACT — then HOW MUCH do the jabs prevent “serious injury and death?”

I mean, EXACTLY how much? It the number predictable, repeatable? Is it consistent between countries? And, how did you figure it out? Where are the studies? Please tell me it’s not just based on the awful raw numbers that the hospitals and blue states are reporting — like where they count “unknown” jab status as “unvaccinated” — but please tell me that you did some kind of controlled clinical study before you started organizing our entire society over that particular statistic.

Deborah Birx Rides Again With Ludicrous Claim About Trump and COVID-19




As the Washington Post reveals (without a fact-check):

Birx, who sat for interviews with the subcommittee on Oct. 12 and 13, also detailed advice that she said the White House ignored late last year, including more aggressively testing younger Americans, expanding access to virus treatments and better distributing vaccine doses in long-term care facilities.

More than 130,000 American lives could have been saved with swifter action and better coordinated public health messages after the virus’s first wave, Birx told investigators.

“I believe if we had fully implemented the mask mandates, the reduction in indoor dining, the getting friends and family to understand the risk of gathering in private homes, and we had increased testing, that we probably could have decreased fatalities into the 30-percent-less to 40-percent-less range,” Birx said.

Everything she’s saying here is pure supposition. By what evidence is she stating that we could have decreased fatalities by 30-40 percent? Where’s her statistical analysis? Like Fauci, Birx is notorious for just saying things while hiding behind her credentials, and her numbers here have no real backing at all.

But let’s game this out. Testing was already incredibly widespread by late last year, which is the period she’s talking about here. How would expanded testing of younger adults, who made up a small minority of total deaths, have saved over 130,000 lives? If the suggestion is that it would have somehow limited community spread, that seems incredibly unlikely given what we’ve seen in 2021.

As to the topic of pushing therapeutics, that was Trump’s main thrust aside from the vaccines. It was the media who chose to trash any and all treatments, including hydroxychloroquine, which is now proven to be somewhat effective if administered early enough. At the time, anything that could be seen as helping slow the pandemic was bad because it would be seen as helping Trump. Further, the president is not in charge of approving medication. In fact, any time Trump got within a mile of the bureaucracy handling that, he was accused of politicizing it. Birx’s criticism on that front simply doesn’t hold water.

Scott Atlas Fires Back At Deborah Birx’s Attempt To Smear Him For Her Lockdown Failures


In a statement to The Federalist, Atlas, a radiologist and fellow at the Hoover Institution, rejected the idea Birx was treated the way she described to House lawmakers, and described a long-time bureaucrat who got nearly everything she wanted in the form of a nationwide embrace of prolonged lockdowns.

[clip]

A joint study from the Rand Corporation and the University of Southern California published in June offers credence to Atlas’ claim. Titled, “The Impact of The COVID-19 Pandemic And Policy Responses On Excess Mortality,” researchers found lockdowns following the COVID outbreaks did nothing to minimize fatalities and may have even been increased fatalities.

“We failed to find that countries or U.S. states that implemented [shelter-in-place] policies earlier, and in which [shelter-in-place] policies had longer to operate, had lower excess deaths than countries/U.S. states that were slower to implement [shelter-in-place] policies,” researchers concluded. Some places, that did see shelter-in-place orders on the other hand, saw ‘excess mortality increases.'”

“The increase in excess mortality is statistically significant in the immediate weeks following [shelter-in-place] implementation,” the researchers concluded.

Atlas, a proponent of “focused protection” as opposed to draconian lockdowns, also repudiated Birx’s label of his recommendations as free rein for the coronavirus to spread.

Birx now Says COVID-19 Vaccines Were Never ‘Going to Protect Against Infection’; this malfeasant said prior to get you to take the vaccine "This is one of the most highly-effective vaccines we have"..​

The vaccine was sold to us, to the masses, as a means to stop infection and transmission and end the pandemic. It failed! They lied day 1, all of them and must be held accountable for today we know it is actually very harmful! Never in your children!

Her statements drove people to take the jabs, these people used their positions of authority to deceive and lie to people. We fought the likes of her in the White House for she worked with Fauci and CDC and NIH and deepstate bureaucrats to take down a sitting POTUS and if today he can understand it, just how much he was toppled, from inside the house, he can regain the status. It is his continued defense of the lockdowns and vaccines that is damaging to his reputation. I want him to not be damaged.

These people, Fauci, Birx, Francis Collins, Hahn, Walensky, Bourla, Ashish Jha et al., they lie with ease, will sell their mothers for the right price. What dirty rotten liars, the damage Fauci and Birx did with their lockdown lunacy that killed thousands needlessly. Our children committed suicide due to the school closures. What terrible people. There was no basis for anything they did re COVID, every single COVID policy was a lie and all failed! No science to under pin any of it, nothing but power drunk lunatics, making money as we suffered! We must get accountability!

[GURPS]

Well, at least they're admitting it now. The COVID vaccine doesn't protect you against infection. That was the golden selling point when the vaccines rolled out, however. Get the shot, and you won't get sick. The vaccine will prevent infection. It turned out it was a myth. Where we are at on the vaccine messaging war is that the cocktail will prevent severe illness and death, but you can still get infected. It's nothing special. The seasonal flu vaccine is the same. You can still contract influenza, but the chances of dying from it are chiefly eliminated. Still, the Biden administration's penchant for not being like Trump caused this train wreck.

This vaccine was viewed as a silver bullet against COVID until professional athletes started to get it again last year. Then, all bets were off when Omicron hit. The good news is that while more contagious, these new variants are much less lethal. It should be viewed as a virus that pops up seasonally, like the cold or flu. We have therapeutics and antivirals that are effective. Tens of millions of Americans have already had the virus, with three-fourths of kids recovering from past infections. Those over 65 or with pre-existing conditions like diabetes should exhibit more caution. Risk varies by group, just like the flu.

Yet, we learned about this in real-time regarding the vaccine's efficacy. We saw vaccinated persons dropping like flies from re-infection. Did the experts know that from the beginning? Dr. Deborah Brix told Fox News she knew the vaccines wouldn't protect against infection (via Fox News):

DR. BIRX: I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it's not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will. But let's be very clear: 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were older, vaccinated. So that's why I'm saying even if you're vaccinated and boosted, if you're unvaccinated right now, the key is testing and Paxlovid. It's effective. It's a great antiviral. And really, that is what's going to save your lives right now if you're over 70, which if you look at the hospitalizations, hospitalizations are rising steadily with new admissions, particularly in those over 70. And so if you live in the South - I know people keep talking about the fall - I'm worried about the South.

here is ms birx (in dec 2020 just as rollout was commencing) extolling covid vaccines as the way to “truly achieve herd immunity” by getting 70-80% immunization rates. (SOURCE)



sorry debberino, but it does not get any more blatant than that.

and in march 2021, her name was still on these missives



and claims on herd immunity were still being made:

“In order to reach herd immunity, Fauci said 70 percent of the population would need to be vaccinated.”

it was all part of one giant unrelenting PR campaign that spanned agencies, branches of government, and the globe.




and they got it wrong.

and i doubt very much any of them had any idea how completely false this was.

they just parroted pharma talking points uncritically.

and the deborama certainly was not doing anything to set the record straight. she was right there in the chorus singing along and taking the occasional solo.

this was not “stuff debbie always knew.”

it’s “stuff she’s trying to make up now to distance herself from careening failure and gross miss-prediction.”

though whether she ever believes a word she says seem like a jump ball.

she’s certainly ignored a lot of her own advice.



2022 is turning into a deeply weird time.

generally, history is written by the winners.

yes, birx is lying about her vaccine stance

and yes, we have the receipts.

Over the weekend, goofy scarf-fan Dr. Deborah Birx had some advice for the CDC on how to “rebuild trust” with the American people. Laughably, she told Face the Nation that “The way you rebuild public trust is be transparent.”

Hahahaha! Don’t make me laugh any more! It’s starting to hurt!

How about we start by being transparent with all the excess deaths data that the CDC is currently hiding behind a lame “software upgrade” excuse? That would be a nice transparent start.

Birx also thinks the CDC just needs to EXPLAIN its reasoning better. “Recommendations that are created out of lack of transparency, and out of a black box where you can’t really follow the logic is what leads to fracturing in trust,” the disgraced doctor advised.

https://twitter.com/FaceTheNation/status/1561368312981905413

Birx is out making the rounds trying to hawk her recently-published book. In the book, she admits knowing that “14-days to stop the spread” would never work but she advised it anyway, knowing the whole time it would really take much much longer, because she had to get people to first swallow two weeks, then it would be easier to get us to agree to lockdown for months more.

That admission — the she lied to us just to get us to go along — plus more examples, like where Birx bragged about tricking the public about vaccine efficacy to get more jabs in arms (she said she “always knew” the shots wouldn’t stop infections), generated fun headlines like this one last month from RedState:


So it’s pretty rich to hear Birx gabbling about transparency and explaining your reasoning to the public. Shut up, Deborah. Nobody cares what you have to say anymore. Go back to scarf collecting.

"Doctors Must Be Free to Practice Medicine with Independence"


This is especially difficult at a time when certification boards and even states threaten doctors who exercise independent judgment. The California State Senate has passed legislation—which is sitting on Governor Newsom’s desk—that would take legal action against medical practitioners deemed guilty of “mis-informing” patients about Covid vaccines. But the vaccine risks have been carefully enumerated. Why should doctors who discuss these facts with patients be threatened with the loss of their livelihoods? Don’t patients have the right to receive informed consent? Isn’t that obligatory for doctors to provide?

Science is not static. It is always evolving. The pandemic has shown time and again that theories dismissed one day as fringe can become established, and then even further refined. Early in the pandemic The National Institutes of Health emphatically recommended against the use of corticosteroids to treat Covid, then a few months later it reversed course. And of course, Fauci has flip-flopped on masks and on lockdowns since March 2020—and regrets nothing. Most important of all, for a year and a half, CDC maintained that the Covid EUA vaccines strongly reduced population risk of infection transmission. Full stop. Any other message was deemed “misinformation.” Remarkably, on August 11, CDC itself publicly admitted that taking two vaccine doses does not prevent transmission, and that booster doses provide only transient and waning benefit. That is, that the vaccines have failed as a public health response to limiting Covid infection. Many scientists and doctors already observed this failure six-to-nine months ago. Should telling that fact to patients have been illegal then but allowable now?

Punishing or delegitimizing doctors who exercise independent judgment flies in the face of hundreds of years of medical practice. Some are fighting back. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has just filed suit in the Southern District of Texas against the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and the American Board of Family Medicine, who have been threatening to de-certify doctors for expressing independent judgment. Several doctors have sued the FDA for unjustly influencing their independent medical practices.

The trust between patient and doctor must be repaired as soon as possible, and especially ahead of the next major public health crisis. We need to learn from two years of avoidable mistakes that have inflicted untold pain and cost lives needlessly.

Deborah Birx Openly Admits to Lying About the COVID Vaccines to Manipulate the American People​

What an incredible thing to just spit out on cable news while promoting a book. You can tell Birx has no remorse and no fear at all that she might face backlash for brazenly lying in order to try to manipulate the American people.

She should have remorse, though. After all, what Birx is admitting to is knowing that vaccine mandates were pointless. How many thousands of people lost their jobs and livelihoods based on a known-false idea that the COVID-19 vaccines stopped the spread of the coronavirus? Yet, Birx didn’t just sit idly by, which would have been bad enough. She actively promoted those mandates while presenting herself as a servant of the public’s health. It’s not just obscene, it’s evil. Does Birx have any ability to feel empathy for the lives she destroyed? I’m not seeing any evidence of that, and her choice to go on a book tour touting her lies as accomplishments is astonishing.

What kind of person lies from a position of power and then writes a book to brag about? That’s pathological behavior. It’s also dangerous in that there can be no expectation of credibility for a government health establishment that continually lies to the people it is supposed to be serving. Birx wanted more people to get the vaccine, and she lied to accomplish that goal. Bureaucrats are not supposed to be in the business of telling falsehoods to manipulate the American public, yet that’s exactly what she did.
