Deborah Birx Says Trump Officials Made Her Change COVID Data Sent To States

Dr. Deborax Birx, the White House COVID-19 coordinator under President Donald Trump, told House lawmakers she was asked to withhold or change information on weekly pandemic data reports sent to state and local health officials, including guidance on masks.

Birx, appearing Thursday before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis to discuss the Trump administration’s pandemic response for the first time since she left in January 2021, detailed creative ways she improvised to share the information.

“So I learned to put the things that there were issues with into the second part of a sentence,” Birx said, explaining that she hoped Trump officials skimming her reports wouldn’t spot them.

Birx did not name those officials.

She could've called a presser or gone on any of the shows just as she has to hawk her book

You know something is wrong and illegal so you keep your mouth shut, write a book then you spill the beans. None of these cowards have any self respect but that doesn't keep them from sleeping well at night and doing it all over again when the opportunity arises. I hate them!!!
