Better yet, she should have never accepted a position with Trump. He's an evil MF.

I would think a high reputation doctor could make more than $275k almost anywhere without having to deal with that nonsense.
I don't disagree with you, but it seems some hospital group somewhere would have hired her to run a viral disease division, and she'd make at least as much as CDC was paying.

or maybe even before that and it is the reason I thought she was a hack back then. She is one of the reasons Covid has gotten to this point. I watched Rachel tonight and when her guest mentioned this I was glad. This can NOT be forgotten or forgiven. Birx is guilty of killing people in order to please her boss. Too bad everyone who played a roll in this debacle can't be sued and left broke for their malpractice and genocide. They admitted to it in writing and verbally countless times.

She sat there and said nothing when he was promoting injecting bleach into one’s body. She said nothing even when he turned to her for her approval. F her.

so the FACT that she did so with regard to the hospital data systems comes as no surprise but is likewise why she MUST go.

I had previously stated I would go with Fauci's decision. Not anymore.

Previously

I would go with Fauci's decision.

If he thinks she should stay it would only be under the following conditions:
1) She does not make any public appearances.
2) She retires after the pandemic is over unless it lasts another 18 months then she retires at the end of 18 months.

Dr. Deborah Birx, the Trump White House coronavirus response coordinator, would like to continue serving in a Biden administration, her colleagues said this week.

“I think if she were asked, she would say yes,” Ambassador James Glassman, a friend of Birx’s and a former George H.W. Bush administration official, told ABC News. “She can't say yes now because she works for President Trump's task force."
