The Last Chance Of Freedom: It Was Birx. All Birx.

Wednesday, August 31, 2022

If we can show that those who imposed the COVID testing, masking, social distancing, and lockdown policies knew from the get-go that these policies would not work against an airborne respiratory virus, and nevertheless they imposed them for reasons other than public health, then there is no longer acceptable justification for any of those measures.

Birx was on a task force ostensibly representing the White House, but she had the power to literally subvert the policy prescriptions of the President
Trump was not on board with the lockdowns, and every time he was forced to go along with them, he became enraged and lashed out at Birx - the person he believed was forcing him
Where did Birx get the nerve and authority to act in direct opposition to the President she was supposed to serve?

Paul Alexander, an epidemiologist and research methodology expert who was recruited to advise the Trump administration on pandemic policy, tells a shocking story in an interview with Jeffrey Tucker about how bureaucrats at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and lawyers from the Justice Department told him to resign, despite direct orders from President Trump and the White House.
Alexander believes these bureaucrats represented the "deep state" which, he was told repeatedly, had decided first not to hire or pay him, and then to get rid of him.
Alexander also writes in an upcoming exposé that the entrenched government bureaucracy, particularly at the NIH, CDC, and WHO, used the Pandemic response to doom President Trump's chances for reelection.

Atlas observes with puzzlement and consternation that, although Pence was the nominal director of the Task Force, Deborah Birx was the person in charge
No matter how much Trump, or anyone in the administration, disagreed with Birx, "the White House was held hostage to the anticipated reaction of Dr. Birx" and she "was not to be touched, period."
One explanation for her untouchableness is that Birx and her policies became so popular with the press and public that the administration did not want to "rock the boat" by replacing her before the election
This explanation, however, crumbles in the face of what we know about Trump and the media's hostility towards him

It is universally assumed, by both those in favor and those opposed to the Task Force's policy prescriptions, that Drs. Deborah Birx, Tony Fauci, and Bob Redfield worked together to formulate those policies
The stories told by Birx herself and Task Force infiltrator Scott Atlas suggest otherwise
At the onset of his book, Atlas asserts that the architects of the American lockdown strategy were Dr. Anthony Fauqi, Deborah Brix, and Dr. Robert Redfield
But as Atlas's story unfolds, he presents a more nuanced understanding of the power dynamics on the task force
By the end of Atlas fully revises his initial assessment, strongly emphasizing that, in fact, it was primarily and predominantly Birx who designed and disseminated the lockdown policies

In her book, Birx repeatedly claims she trusts Redfield and Fauci implicitly to help shape America's response to the novel coronavirus
She says she has "every confidence, based on past performance, that whatever path the virus took, the United States and the CDC would be on top of the situation."
Almost immediately, she undermines the credibility of those she supposedly trusts, quoting Matt Pottinger as saying she "'should take over Azar, Fauerci, and Redfield's jobs, because you're such a better leader than they are.'"
This does not seem like the kind of leader Birx can trust
Does she trust Tony and Bob's leadership or does she not?

Birx, Fauci, Redfield, and Redfield appear as a single entity with no disagreements whatsoever
They never ever questioned or disagreed with one another in Task Force meetings
No data or research was ever presented to contradict or question anything Birx said
Atlas was surprised, indeed stunned, that no one on the Task Force presented any data to justify lockdowns or to contradict the evidence on lockdown harms that Atlas presented

Matt Pottinger (the NSC liaison to Birx) tried to convince Task Force members that masking could stop the virus "'dead in its tracks'" but his views "stirred up surprisingly rigid responses from the public-health contingent."
We just noted Birx's frustration, indeed deep regret, that the CDC led by Redfield, as well as Fauci (and even Frieden) did not agree with her ideas on asymptomatic spread and masking.
Why does this imply that she and the "public-health" contingent of the Task Force were group-thinking this issue, against him?

Deborah Birx represented the interests of what I'm calling the lab leak cabal
They needed to cover up a potentially devastating lab leak and wanted to impose draconian lockdown measures such as the world had never known
Once we separate Birx from Trump, from the rest of the administration, and from the others on the Task Force, we can see clearly that her single-minded and scientifically nonsensical emphasis on silent spread and asymptomatic testing was geared toward a single goal: to scare everyone so much that lockdowns would appear to be a sensible policy
