I watched Dr Birx’ interview on Face the Nation Sunday morning. I watched it twice, watched the 90 minute full interview on CBSN. Then I read the transcript. I was shocked. It was very insightful as to the workings of the Trump Whitehouse. You will have to watch or read it and draw your own conclusion.

Dr. Birx’ hard work was silenced by the right and vilified by the left. All she wanted was to help the citizens of the United States in staying healthy and saving lives. Her extensive, great, and hard work in producing meaningful data was interpreted wrongly to be political by many people and discarded by others.

She cautioned that when civil servants are wrongly interpreted as having political motive, it will absolutely remove talented candidates from those jobs.

I am angered by her treatment and the additional threats to her family and mocking by SNL. She’s kept prolific notes, reflections, and reports. I’m hoping she will write a book about her experience.

As individuals we must stop this labeling behavior. More than polarizing it’s dangerous to our country.
