I saw Birx credited for "one day, it will just go away, it will disappear."

Is that a lie or cover up to protect trump, or just something she said that was wrong?

My contention isn't that she hadn't been wrong, she most certainly has, but can anyone prove she's carrying trump's water? If you claim that publicly you better have receipts, otherwise you're just trump calling justice department bureaucrats, liberals just because you don't like that they have to say.

She definitely tries her hardest to diplomatically cover for her stupid president boss. It would be nice for her to just say he's wrong, but I understand the reluctance to do that.

I haven't paid much attention to what anyone in the admin has said since they stopped the original briefings though.

Nah, sorry that's horseshit. First of all, the article right there tells the reader what Pelosi said, it's like a 3 minute read. That woman has served her country for 40 years and has served appointments in the Obama and Trump presidencies. She's earned the right, just like Fauci and every other doctor in the world, to miss on some of the things she's said without being accused of carrying Trump's water.

I don't even know what you're referring to when you say she's spread misinformation, but not giving her latitude to make mistakes, when literally every single medical professional discussing coronavirus has, is wrong. The Speaker of the House accusing a civil servant of partisanship in a public forum is right out of the trump playbook, and it's embarrassing.

if i was curious about what pelosi said, of course i could find out what she said.  no one has earned the right to lie to the american people.

What did she lie about?

I don't know about lying, but I think she has willingly withheld information from the public to appease Trump.

Like what?

Essentially, what star seed said. She didn't push back enough on the BS Trump was putting out there in the first round of coronavirus press briefings, imo.

I feel like Birx just makes me feel better about the situation.  I mean she's the coordinator, I'm not sure what I expect her to do more than that.

Fauci has done the same thing. I don't think you hold jobs like that in Washington that long by being a straight shooter 100% of the time.

You certainly have to be smart about it and pick your battles. Fauci may enjoy more freedom than Birx, because it's been said that Trump can't fire him. However, I think it's malpractive to allow bad science and misinformation to be shared with the American public in that role in the middle of a pandemic.

You could also resign and speak truth to power if you weren't so concerned about the job you worked your whole life for.

Yeah, I don't think she's politically motivated.

Maybe I just choose to think that though.

Yes, I agree! It's just awkward because her boss is particularly stupid at a time she has to be in the public eye.

There are a million people who could stand up there and say trump is an idiot, wrong, etc. Her job is much more complex than that.  If she flatly said he was mismanaging this she wouldn’t be there and would be replaced by someone willing to toe the company line a lot more strictly than she does.

Yea I'm skeptical of the test's efficacy/sensitivity and cost. Sounds good in the article, I guess the idea is negative doesn't mean crap but positive means don't spread that ish.

I think he understates the negative effects of false negatives. People will think they're good and probably take greater risks than they would without the test.

Also current rapid tests approved by the CDC aren't that great.

that's just a matter of education.  the tests should be explained to be testing for highly infectious individuals, not for people that are sick.
