WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dr. Deborah Birx, the former Trump White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator, is taking a private sector job, joining a Texas manufacturer that says its purifiers clean COVID-19 from the air within minutes and from surfaces within hours.

Birx will join Dallas-based ActivePure as chief scientific and medical adviser, she and the company said on Friday.

An expert in global health, Birx came to the White House in 2020 to help lead the Trump administration’s response to the pandemic. But she was criticized for not standing up to former President Donald Trump as he played down the virus, predicted it would disappear, and questioned whether ingesting bleach could help cure infected Americans.

While her friend and former mentor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was promoted to become a top medical adviser to Democratic President Joe Biden, Birx did not get a job in the new administration.

1. THAT'S what she wears around her neck: a large decorative purifier!

6. I half expected Birx would market her own line of designer scarves after leaving the WH.

She could make them in Ivanka's Chinese sweatshops and sell them at gift shops in Trump properties.

10. LOL!

I can see that happening in a few years after she lies a while for this air purifier company.

I wonder what this air purifier company wants hidden from the public. That was my first thought. They would not have hired her unless they wanted to lie and lie and lie while she sits there and plays with her frilly shirts. I know I will never trust their products.

3. I thought she said she was going to retire. Nt

5. She is perfect for them. She will say anything they want her to say.

7. Well, I know what air purifier I'll never trust.

11. Same here.

No way. No how. I can see her sitting there signing to her name to any lies that company tells while she plays with her frilly shirts. I can picture that so easily. I wonder what this company wants to hide now that I see they hired her to sign off to a bunch of lies. That's her only real specialty any more.

9. I'll be watching to make sure I don't buy any of those.

There will be no air purified once that stinking Trumplodyte liar gets there.
