"“I believe if we had fully implemented the mask mandates, the reduction in indoor dining, the getting friends and family to understand the risk of gathering in private homes, and we had increased testing, that we probably could have decreased fatalities into the 30-percent-less to 40-percent-less range,” Birx said."
Though the zinger at the end:
Birx also told investigators that Atlas — a Stanford University radiologist who had no prior infectious-disease experience — organized an August 2020 meeting among Trump and the three physicians who later authored the “Great Barrington Declaration,” which called for deliberately hastening herd immunity.
In a statement to The Post, Atlas disputed Birx’s portrayal and said he had encouraged measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing.
“I never advised the President, the Task Force, or anyone else while in Washington to allow the virus to spread,” he said, arguing Birx should bear more responsibility for any missteps by the administration, given her role as coordinator.
Oh you know, just hating on and blaming Trump for everything, like all these fuckers do
