Sources within the Trump administration have claimed that lead coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Birx suspects the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are unintentionally inflating coronavirus case counts and death rates.
Speaking with The Washington Post, the unnamed sources cited a heated Wednesday discussion between Birx and CDC Director Robert Redfield over this very matter.
“Birx and others were frustrated with the CDC’s antiquated system for tracking virus data, which they worried was inflating some statistics — such as mortality rate and case count — by as much as 25 percent, according to four people present for the discussion or later briefed on it,” the Post reported Saturday, citing its anonymous sources.
Birx was reportedly so frustrated that she allegedly blurted out, “There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust.”

We can only hope that the plot is unraveling on multiple fronts.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at her statement.
DeleteI would not trust anything that comes from the Washington Post. Even when it favors my ideology or converges with my perspective of things, I would not trust the Washington Post.
ReplyDelete'unnamed sources', 'anonymous sources'...why mention them thrice in one snippet of an article? Of course, such sources are first assigned a measure of credibility, of veracity by saying they are 'within the Trump administration'.

I would not trust anything that comes from the Washington Post.
DeleteNeither I.
Brix was the one standing up in public giving a detailed explanation on how deaths are classified "with" COVID.
ReplyDeleteI don't trust anything she says.
Does she think we're stupid, and/or gaslighting us?
She's supposed to be far left.
