(11,885 posts)19. Birx has lost any credibility she once may of had
By promoting this now. Reporters need to ask her what factual basis was her statement based on. Then ask then with testing less than 1% of this countries population how she could make a statement like that in public. Forcing her to openly lie by trump is incredibly dangerous, and against her oaths she's taken, and maybe her license should be revoked for doing this. She's no doctor if she's lying to please trump now.
