We Knew They Lied About COVID In 2020. Now They Admit It.

Remember Deborah Birx? She was the scientist and White House spokesperson on COVID at the height of the pandemic in the spring and summer of 2020.

Perhaps she’s best remembered for the collection of Hermes scarves she wore during her daily TV briefings from the White House press room. She was second only to Dr. Anthony Fauci in terms of explaining the pandemic to the public and setting public health policy.

Of course, the “policy” was basically to shut down the world’s largest economy to “stop the spread.” She said that the virus most likely jumped from animals to humans (so-called zoonotic transfer), which basically adopted the Chinese “wet market” theory on the source of the virus.

She made a series of statements at the time that can be summarized as follows: Everyone needs to maintain a social distance of six feet. Everyone needs to wear masks indoors and out. The same rules that applied to those over sixty years old with comorbidities such as asthma, obesity, or diabetes should be applied to healthy young adults and children.

She was the author of the “15 Days to Stop the Spread” campaign (which actually lasted for over two years and did not stop the spread). Now she has a new book described in this article.

It turns out everything she said was a lie, and she knew it was a lie at the time.

It’s not just a question of making a few medical mistakes. We can make allowance for that with a new virus in the midst of a pandemic. What she did was lie.

She now admits that the virus was bioengineered in a laboratory. She admits that the pandemic would last indefinitely and that nothing would be resolved in 15 days. She admits that masks are ineffective, and being outside without a mask was actually one of the healthiest things you could be doing.

It turns out there’s no scientific evidence for six-foot social distancing being able to reduce the spread. Much of this information was known at the time but it was censored and suppressed by Facebook and Twitter and by legacy media.

She and Fauci and others lied because there was no other way to get Americans to go along with their radical lockdown plans. They were also politically motivated fearmongers who knew that painting a dire public health picture would hurt Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

I fault Trump for not firing these people on the spot. Still, Trump and the American people trusted them because there were “experts.” Not anymore.

Birx and her ilk have forever damaged Americans’ trust in public health officials, and rightly so. In the next pandemic, people will use common sense and rely on local physicians for therapeutic approaches. No one will ever trust the lying Federal bureaucrats again.
