Birx tells friends she was relieved after Trump adviser Scott Atlas' inaccurate mask tweet was removed

Members of the White House coronavirus task force are praising a move by Twitter removing a misleading tweet from top Trump adviser Dr. Scott Atlas that told Americans masks don't work.

The tweet's removal was a "relief" among some task force members, Dr. Deborah Birx told friends over the weekend, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation.

Birx also told friends fighting the virus is "hard enough (without Atlas)."

She also suggested the task force is frustrated by Atlas' ability to find obscure information, label it as data and "present (it) to the President as scientific evidence," an almost insurmountable challenge.

She also said that if Trump "likes the sound of it, he believes it."

4. Birx is a trumpian stooge

she allowed herself to be co-opted from the beginning...she stood next that malignant imbecile and swooned and nodded as he spewed a barrage of lies...and it was Birx that blathering fool looked to when he suggest sucking down Clorox and injecting Lysol was a viable cure-all...maybe if she had stood up and yelled "Are you out of your fucking mind?", she could have retained the last of her integrity... but she said nothing...in her own way Birx is as complicit as Trump...history will not be kind to her....

2. Dear Dr Birx...

... I know your paycheck is swell, but your concern is at Susan Collins-Trump level. You need to stop talking to friends and speak to the American people. Call a press conference and call out Trump/Pence for what they are.
