[Dr. Debra Birx] simply reused the playbook she'd run [in Africa] to fight AIDS [here in the U.S. to fight COVID].
Dr Birx. This is really interesting info on how she “managed” things. https://t.co/K1X4FOap8W

One point that Montz made was that Fauci had little to do with the crushing policies implemented by Birx. Maybe they were doing different work, but Fauci absolutely has blood on his hands. How could he not? I found that to be a major flaw in this mini-documentary along with Montz's extended laugh in his interview with Tyler Goodspeed.
People don't understand actually who's responsibility things were.
It should frighten the American citizens to know who was actually in charge. --Scott Atlas, Senior Policy Advisor
The untold story of subterranean power how a career bureaucrat seized control and engineered a disaster.
02:03. And she was proven incompetent and wrong on every single level. Period. --Scott Atlas
There was a chief engineer of this misery and it wasn't Anthony Fauci this was how a president was toppled without a shot fired December 2019 a new killer virus emerges from the East and the World Health Organization provides the first official estimate of the disease's deadliness, a 3% infection fatality rate.
APRIL 24th, 2020
Amateur public Health guidance?
03:50. Introduction to Debra Birx. Spent her career in the medical wing of the U.S. Army.
At PEPFAR, Birx works with Yen Pottinger, former CDC Microbiologist, who is the wife of Matthew Pottinger, Deputy National Security Advisor, and goes on to serve in the Trump White House. When COVID hits, the White House establishes a special task force called the President's Coronavirus Task Force, run by Vice President Mike Pence, who scrambles to find a public health expert to serve on it. Pottinger recommends Birx. In February 2020, Dr. Deborah Birx officially joins the White House COVID task force. She's the coordinator, meaning she and she alone writes its medical advice. Just one month earlier, the State Department released a vast investigation into Birx's management of PEPFAR, President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. It's stuffed full of complaints people describe her as dictatorial they say her decisions are made without clear rationale other than "I told you to." They say that she "does not listen to feedback" and simply issues threats and that she sets targets that are not reasonable and "draws conclusions that lead down the wrong path."
5:46. Dr. Birx is a highly respected person I've gotten to know her very well over the last 6 days.
MARCH 2020. Her first task on the task force is formulating the official White House COVID guidelines, which tells State Governors how to fight this virus. "Every mayor and every governor should be instituting these guidelines." And so history turns to Dr. Birx. What comes out of her brain? CoV-AIDS. She simply reuses the playbook she'd run to fight AIDS.
She was falling back on her experience, and basically telling the room, "No one else has had the experience because I've had because I've been leading PEPFAR for AIDS in Africa. --Paul Mango, Deputy Chief of Staff for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from 2019-2021
6:42. CoV-AIDS.
1. TREAT EVERY CASE AS A KILLER.
AIDS has a sky-high fatality rate for anyone who contracts it. Birx assumes it's the same for COVID. But you can't predict who is going to get the severe illness. [With mask on] this is a serious threat no matter what your age.
2. FOCUSES ON KIDS
A major priority in Africa was preventing transmission to children. Birx takes the same approach with COVID. "Young people are getting infected and hospitalized," and protecting kids requires shutting down the main hub of new infections, schools. "When the schools close, they prevent the transmission of all those respiratory diseases."
She had her hands on the controls of anything coming out of the CDC. They gave guidance that said "There's a likelihood that schools being open will further spread the virus . . ." Well, any superintendent that's looking at is saying I ain't gonna get sued."
3. GET TO ZERO CASES AT ANY COST
You start with at zero as we did with HIV. Zero new infections, zero deaths. I think our goal should be zero hospitalizations and zero deaths. I don't accept less. I'm not a less acceptor. --Dr. Debra Birx.
And in March 2020, all 50 states with the CoV-AIDS Playbook, shutting down society.
We've issued the guidelines, and frankly every state in America has embraced those guidelines at a minimum. --former VP Mike Pence.
In May 2020, concerns about CoV-AIDS begins to bubble up from within the White House.
Tyler Goodspeed . . . I was acting Chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisors.
Rob Montz: How frequently are you seeing the President by summer 20/20?
I'm probably seeing the President once a week.
Are you sitting in meetings of the Coronavirus Task Force?
Yes.
All of them?
Not all of them.
But a lot of them?
A lot of them. We were in a meeting in the Roosevelt Room with Dr. Birx and others, and she said, "So how's the economy doing?" to which I said, "Not well." [Laughter from interviewer.] And her reaction was a deep sigh . . . . We're getting the biggest job loss in U.S. history, increased depths of despair from 44 million Americans becoming unemployed, and the consequences of lost childhood learning.
9:35 The President himself starts openly questioning the lockdowns. He tweets [on April 17, 2020],
LIBERATE MICHIGAN.
LIBERATE MINNESOTA.
LIBERATE VIRGINIA.
We're not doing any more shutdowns
But what the producers of this documentary leave out is this,
April 22: Flanked by his advisors Fauci and Birx, Mr. Trump says that he “strongly disagrees” with Gov. Kemp’s decision to reopen Georgia
Question is, how do I get a copy of timestamped transcripts of that meeting?
It was clear that the President wanted a broader base of advisors. This isn't AIDS, and this isn't Africa. I became the intermediary that set up the session with Scott [Atlas] and the President.
10:08 Scott Atlas. Do you have any
10:25. SCOTT ATLAS, SENIOR FELLOW IN HEALTH POLICY, HOOVER INSTITUTION
Scott Atlas was one of the first people in the country to point out the obvious: every case was not a killer. It was obvious after 5 minutes that the numbers about the fatality rate were wrong. The infection fatality rate, according to the World Health Organization of 3.4%, means that more than 3 out of 100 people who get infected are going to die. That was not true. Certainly people who were old to the infection fatality was very high, but for people under 70, it was something like .05%, which means that 99.95% of people are going to survive.
11:50. COVID is very serious for a certain group of people
21:28 DECEMBER 2020
At the end of the year, CoV-AIDS remains the official White House policy. Most governors continue to pursue zero cases at any cost.
They destroyed everybody to stop cases of COVID and it destroyed millions of people. That is the legacy of the Birx guidance.
21:56
And we have too many states that are locked down right now. The governors are . . . nobody knows what the governors are doing actually. --President Donald Trump
Most states continue to focus on kids and shut down their schools.
ANXIETY
We have an explosion of anxiety, and depression in high school and college-aged kids, an explosion of drug abuse; that's all from school closures. That has absolutely nothing to do with the infection. --Scott Atlas
Get the kids back to school. We've got to get the kids back to school. --President Donald Trump
Most states continue to treat COVID as an equal-opportunity killer and fail to protect the high-risk elderly.
I was advocating personally for a marked increase in protecting the elderly. They failed to protect the elderly. Birx failed. Scott Atlas
The disease Debra Birx was fighting does not exist. You were forced to live a fiction, a state-sponsored religion. And President Donald Trump was toppled without a shot fired, the victim of a casual coup. He can certainly perform that helpful man of action. But when he got power the first time, he let someone so sleight just take it from him.
The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. That's what's happening. And he wants to close down, he'll close down the country if one person in our massive bureaucracy says "We should close it down." --President Donald Trump
And this [the U.S. Constitution] is just a piece of paper, a historical curiosity, an interesting artifact from the past. this isn't how power works in Washington. This is how this woman, Debra Birx, used the 4th Branch to take down a president and flatten a country.
