Birx’s merch

Dr. Deborah Birx has a makeover and a book. As she makes the rounds of “the shows,” bear in mind what she said in March 2020. You already know who “he” is:

“He’s been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data. And I think his ability to analyze and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues. Because in the end, data is data, and he understands the importance of the granularity.”
I called it intellectual prostration back then. It renders irrelevant anything Dr. Birx now has to say.

I assume she held this lofty opinion of him *before* she sat just there, without a word of objection, at that infamous press conference as the stable genius blathered on about killing the virus by ingesting bleach.

Yes, that praise was earlier, though there was still enough already going on to mark her comments as disconnected from reality.
