July 29, 2026 – Dr. Deborah Birx must be next focal point in Covid mitigation policy investigations

With Dr. Anthony Fauci now under renewed fire after pleading the Fifth during a U.S. Senate hearing this week, I would argue that more attention should be directed to Dr. Deborah Birx, the former White House COVID coordinator and essentially Fauci’s partner in thrusting their experimental pandemic policies on the American public.

As a reminder, I reviewed a documentary that offered chilling details on Birx and her direct role in creating the lockdown disaster that still impacts this country to this day.

…Birx continued to issue lockdown policies using White House stationery and scuttling Trump’s attempts to reopen the country.

The kicker: Pence allowed Birx to use Air Force Two to fly around the country and undermine the efforts of Atlas and the other serious and well-qualified scientists who disagreed with the Birx model.

Perhaps the most chilling aspect of the documentary was the audio of Birx herself bragging about how she subverted Trump and his advisors.

Well, with a little help from Pence: “I made it very clear to the Vice President, and I said, “You know I’m saying exactly the opposite of what the president is saying, and what Scott Atlas is saying. And the Vice President said, “You do what you need to do.

Now, during her appearance on CBS News‘ “Takeout” With Major Garrett, Birx is desperately trying to distance herself from the mitigation monstrosity she created. Her position should have… evolved.

“I think all of us need to be quite honest with ourselves about how not only the information evolved, but the needs for the relevant, what we call, countermeasures, should have also evolved,” Birx responded.

“What do I mean by that? When this first hit, we didn’t have enough testing out there. We couldn’t stop the spread in any way. Hospitals were being overrun. We didn’t have a supply chain that matched the need.

“And so the first part in the few months were a crisis,” she said. “But once we got additional therapies, monoclonal antibodies, long-acting monoclonal antibodies, Remdesivir, where there were actually additional treatments, then you can pull back on some of the mitigation.”

Birx tossed both Fauci and Blue States under the bus. She asserts the response became “political” and that Democrat-led states “over-closed.”

There were solutions, but it became very political, and we all have to be aware because it was a presidential election year, it was really important for blue states to show that they were taking this very seriously. And they over-closed. And we just have to be honest that that happened. And that’s why that discussion from both sides of the aisle and a resolution and a way to go forward is critical so that we can do this right in the future.

Dr. Deborah Birx, who worked closely with Dr. Anthony Fauci on the COVID-19 White House task force, told NewsNation Democrat-led states “over-closed” in 2020 in an effort to show they were serious about the pandemic.

I will simply note that Birx did not receive one of those handy Biden Autopen pardons, and as David Strom of Hot Air notes, she is every bit as culpable as Fauci. (Read more: Legal Insurrection, 8/1/2026) (Archive)
