Ex-Testing Czar Brett Giroir Calls Out Biden For Taking Vaccine Credit, Promoting Prolonged Shutdown: ‘I Really Was Pained’

By Rudy TakalaMar 12th, 2021, 10:22 am

Adm. Brett Giroir said President Joe Biden’s “sorely disappointing” speech on Thursday “pained” him.

“I was really sorely disappointed — I actually was pained, because it was a lost opportunity for the president to level with and be honest with the American people about the past present and future,” Giroir said in a Friday interview with Fox News’ Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum. “He did none of that, and I think the record needs to be set straight.”

Giroir served as assistant secretary for health under President Donald Trump, and as that administration’s Covid-19 “testing czar.” He proceeded to shred Biden for attempting to claim credit for vaccination efforts — including his statement that every adult should be eligible for the vaccine by May 1 — and for suggesting that Americans should refrain from gathering until at least July.

“Way back in November, we talked about every American having vaccines available by June, and that was with the vaccines that we had then available,” Giroir noted. “It was kind of crazy, what was said about July 4th. If … you’re meeting outside, you can do that now. There’s no reason you can’t have outdoor, small gatherings and have a barbecue outside.

“I don’t know what reality he’s talking about,” Giroir added.

1. Giroir - Extreme Trump Toady

[dawg day]

2. He couldn't even get simple tests out to the people--

And now he's whining because "we talked about" something and no one gives him credit for... talking about?

Biden delivers.

3. Testing is where the former administration faceplanted, bigly...

If we'd had adequate testing last year, some of this might have been avoided.

Hell, we still don't really have adequate testing in place. Anybody should be able to walk into a clinic and get tested, and know the results in minutes. If this was the "testing czar" I'd say he dropped the ball big time.

4. Taking credit and getting credit are two different things.

Trump always took credit for anything he wanted to. Biden us getting credit because he's actually doing the work. Trump spent four months trying to overturn an election. That's all he gets credit for.

5. besides criticising the Obama administration

someone should remind Giroir of the bang up job he did for Texas.

"On October 6, 2014, Governor Rick Perry announced the creation of the Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response to assess and enhance the state's existing capabilities to prepare for and respond to pandemic diseases such as the Ebola virus. The Governor named Giroir as director of the task force to lead a team of experts in epidemiology and infectious disease.

6. Let's talk about 20 million missing doses, asshole.

And let's not forget that once the Con lost in November the only thing he worked on was suing to overturn the election.

7. "We talked " says it all. A little more doing and a lot less talking could have made a difference

8. Is this the same, You have 30 minutes to resign, Giroir?

Giroir was told on June 1, 2015, that he had 30 minutes to resign or he would be fired.[26][6][27][28] Giroir chose to resign, after eight years of work on several vaccine projects.[6][27][28] The notification stated that he had to leave the building immediately, and would no longer have access to his email.[6] His annual performance evaluation at Texas A&M said that he was "more interested in promoting yourself" than the health science center where he worked. He got low marks on being a "team player."[29][30][31][32] Robin Robinson, who was the director of the federal Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority and oversaw a major grant for the Texas vaccine project, said Giroir "over-promised and under-delivered."[33] Texas A&M Health Science Center doubled its NIH funding during Giroir's tenure, though the university stated that most of the credit for that was not the function of the work of Giroir, but rather of others, and there was concern that plans to build a teaching hospital on the College Station campus never materialized.[6]

"March 24, 2020:
President Trump said on Fox News he wants the U.S. economy to "open" back up by Easter Sunday, even as the number of coronavirus cases in the country accelerates.In another Fox interview, Trump said, "You'll have packed churches all over our country … I think it'll be a beautiful time."
"This is the making of a major public health disaster. I am not sure where he is getting his information from, but it is extremely flawed," said Dr. Tina Tan of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. "...(more)
