Dr. Deborah Birx has said there were some staff in former president Donald Trump's White House who believed COVID-19 was a hoax.

In an interview with on CBS News' Face The Nation, Birx spoke about the challenges she faced while working with the Trump White House on combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.

"There were people who definitely believed that this was a hoax," Birx, the former coordinator of the Trump administration's coronavirus task force, told Margaret Brennan when asked if there were coronavirus deniers in the Trump White House.

Pressed on why, Birx said: "I think because the information was confusing at the beginning, I think because we didn't talk about the spectrum of disease... they saw people get COVID and be fine, and then they had us talking about how severe the disease is and how it could cause these unbelievable fatalities of our American public."

1. So there was no plan, there never was a plan. What the hell was Jarad's job?

Just a smoke screen? How many died that didn’t have to? The damage done by ignoring the virus far exceeds what damage (to the economy because that’s all they care about) would have taken place by quick decisive action. But that’s always been the orange puss ball’s MO. Ignore things and hope they go away.

9. Jared's Job

Jared's job was to grift as much as possible. At that, he was a "great" success.

[mysteryowl]

2. It was such a good idea to deep clean and disinfect the WH

[LuckyLib]

3. Sorry. When the Dumpster was spouting all that nonsense about

possible cures in front of the American people, she should have stood up and exited the room, resigning immediately with a call to the press. She was an enabler, and complicit in the lies that caused so many deaths.

Now you're revealing all? Pffffft!

[DENVERPOPS]

6. Perfect!

No one gives a shit about this woman who was worried more about her daily scarfs and appearing on stage, than working on Covid and telling the public the real story......

You are so right, when Trump started in on that crazy ass, non scientific lysol and light scope colonoscopy shit, she should have stood up in front of the cameras and left to resign her position......

[BigmanPigman]

7. She is an enabler who is indirectly responsible for thousands of

unnecessary deaths. She should be sent to jail for assisting in this charade. She should be stripped of her medical credentials too. She could have and should have done a lot more. Fuck you and your lack of respect for your profession and for the innocent victims of the enabling of a madman/POTUS.

11. Meanwhile we have people here

Whining about how she was "misunderstood" and "ignored" and we're just being too gosh darn hard on her.

[BigmanPigman]

15. She needs to be held accountable

and no forgiving and forgetting. Tell someone who lost a family member to Covid that Birx was misunderstood.

[Miguelito Loveless]

4. So, she failed to do her job

and explain it to them.

[ZZenith]

5. Frau Birx is singing a different tune since the failed Dumpster Putsch.

The time to be courageous is when you can actually make a fucking difference, not many months afterward.

Coward.

12. +1 n/t

[CountAllVotes]

8. There are plenty of people that still believe COVID-19 is a hoax

What a bunch of idiots.

Their faith in the orange Hitler will go to the grave with them.

What a bunch of mindless losers!

[Dem forever]

10. Idiots all of them

FLCCC.net. This group of doctors have been ignored because of the false claims the orange man put out there. Nobody wants to admit there might be an off shelf drug that does work. Trump and his Covid 19 task force was a complete failure.
People pay attention people there is a drug called Ivermectin + zinc + vit D this protocol works as a prophylactic and treatment if infected. Take this drug + the vaccine to prevent infection from Covid 19. You can’t get herd immunity if a group of assholes think this is a hoax and won’t get the vaccine. The virus therefore will continue to mutate in this group of millions of people . Possible changing enough so new vaccines must be brought to market. This is why Ivermectin is so important. Because it prevents the virus from entering the cell no matter it’s mutations.

13. So what did she REALLY think about Trumps idea to "get light inside the body" as a way of curing

covid. That was the weirdest press conference ever. Why she didnt quit on the spot is beyond me.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Too little, too late.

Sorry Deb, you had a chance and you blew it.

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. Yeah. Name names or STFU

[Greybnk48]

16. The Trump trash thought it was only lethal to people of color.

They saw that blacks and hispanics were getting hit harder than whites and decided to let her rip.

I would bet this was a large part of it, along with the Trump trash not wanting their golf courses and hotels closed.

Human garbage.

17. but, but, but
