One of the strangest parts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been all of the public health “experts” who openly lied to the American people while expecting to be lauded as heroes in response. Certainly, most have witnessed Dr. Anthony Fauci’s grotesque level of arrogance over the years, with numerous examples of the good doctor admitting to lying in order to get the outcome he desired from the public. For his efforts, he’s got magazine covers and million-dollar awards.
But we shouldn’t forget about Dr. Deborah Birx, the other half of Donald Trump’s initial COVID-19 advisory team. Though she has rarely drawn the same ire as Fauci, there’s little reason to believe she wasn’t just as duplicitous. RedState recently reported that Birx was busy marketing her book and includes brazen admissions to dishonesty such as misleading Trump’s administration by changing reports and disobeying orders.
Unwarranted foolishness based upon pigheaded stupidity I understand and perhaps sympathize with. Birx, however, descends into criminality. Birx forged and altered guidance from senior people, especially President Trump’s. If she didn’t support what she was being told to do, she had an obligation to challenge those instructions openly and transparently and then do what she was told to do. If she didn’t like those orders, she was obligated to resign. Every person who died alone in a hospital room, every business driven into bankruptcy, and every child who lost a year of education due to Birx’s actions should be a count on a felony indictment.
Whether anything Birx did reaches the level of criminality or not, I can’t be sure, but there’s no doubt she had no business being in the position she was in and should face some form of reprisal for her actions. She also spoke out about this in a Fox News interview on Friday with Neil Cavuto. Birx acknowledged in the interview that she had lied about vaccine efficacy.

It’s amazing to promote a book while simultaneously promoting cable news. Birx is openly honest about her willingness to lie in an attempt to manipulate American citizens.
She ShouldBut, you will feel remorse. Birx admits to knowing the futility of vaccine mandates. Did you know that thousands lost their jobs due to the false idea that COVID-19 vaccines prevented the spread of coronavirus from spreading? 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. Is Birx able to empathize with the people she has 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.
Is it possible to lie from power, then write a book about which you can brag? 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 was determined to ensure that more people get the vaccine and to achieve this goal, she used lies. Bureaucrats are not supposed to be in the business of telling falsehoods to manipulate the American public, yet that’s exactly what she did.
What transpired here shouldn’t be forgotten. The power to again hold congressional hearings will soon be given to Republicans. When they do, Fauci, Birx, and the rest need to be on the list and made to answer for what they’ve done.
