dr. brix says, we are missing the big picture?

Well from where I sit, dr brix, the big picture is our pres. out there lying and making this pandemic worse .... dr brix it is you who needs to wake up and see the big picture or else you are nothing more than a failed bureaucrat ... when America needed so much more from you, you are failing.

‘It bothers me that this is still in the news cycle,’ Birx says of Trump’s disinfectant and light comments

The White House coronavirus response coordinator says the discussion is a distraction
Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, downplayed President Donald Trump’s suggestion last week that injected disinfectants and light could work as treatments for coronavirus, arguing the news media should move on from the incident.

In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Jake Tapper pressed Birx on whether Trump’s comments at a White House briefing Thursday alarmed her as a medical professional.

2. I totally agree with Dr. Birx. Leave her and Fauci alone! Ask them only scientific questions.

3. So she's giving him the cover he needs. "Dr. Birx says that media is fake news!"

The problem (as I see it) that she is not addressing is that if you give him a pass on one thing, that gives him a de facto hall pass on the next thing and the next thing and the next thing. He liked about "the cupboards being bare"! Not a peep from the doctors. He lied about tests being available. A big shrug as far as the lie went. He lied about ventilators, about hydroxochloraquine (sp), about one thing after another, and pass after pass after pass.

I don't think it's helpful that she's making an enemy out of the media.

republicans specializing in getting the media and the country to fixate on something trivia that works in their political favor.

a couple days in from donnie basically advising people to kill themselves, and they're already calling for everyone to move on.


call me back after we get at least 9 investigations over the next 4 years over this incident.

voted for her! I my mind, she will always exemplify the real, true soul of Texans' ... in the same ilk, Willy Nelson. Texans used to say to anyone nearby, "Hey, pull up a chair, join us." I really used to love the State of Texas, what the heck happened???
