Did Dr. Deborah Birx Quietly Rig COVID-19 Policies? Her Own Words Suggest So

Well, well, well—another day, another government official revealing that the “experts” weren’t exactly shooting straight with the American people (or the sitting President, for that matter). Dr. Deborah Birx, the face of the White House COVID-19 response team, has now put it all in writing. In her book, Silent Invasion, she admits to – ahem – strategizing how to influence decisions on pandemic policies—even when the data wasn’t fully there to back them up.

Let’s pause for a moment. Imagine your doctor telling you, “We’re going to put you on this new treatment. We don’t have solid data for it yet, but trust me—I’ll find something later.” You’d be livid. Yet, this is precisely what Dr. Birx confesses to doing when it came to securing prolonged shutdowns and influencing CDC guidelines. But was this simply a case of “noble deception” for public health, or was there something more politically motivated at play?

Let’s dive into what she actually admitted and what it means for the trust we placed in our public health institutions.

What Did Dr. Birx Actually Say?

Dr. Birx’s own words in Silent Invasion provide an eyebrow-raising look at how she operated behind the scenes. Here are a few key revelations:

1. Moving the Goalposts on Lockdowns\
   After convincing President Trump to approve the initial “15 Days to Slow the Spread,” she immediately began strategizing how to extend it. She writes:

“No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it.”

The problem? She openly admits she didn’t have the data to justify it at the time. Instead of waiting for the science, she worked to manufacture the justification later.

1. Burying the Truth in Bureaucratic Jargon
   Birx describes how she circumvented resistance within the administration by strategically placing crucial information deeper in reports, assuming officials wouldn’t read far enough to catch what she was really doing. Essentially, she manipulated the way data was presented to ensure her recommendations flew under the radar.

2. Playing the Long Game
   Her words suggest a calculated effort not just to inform, but to control policy outcomes—even if it meant stretching the truth or bypassing those in charge. While some (let’s call a spade a spade: the left) might defend this as a necessary move to “save lives,” the ethical implications are enormous. Was this about science, or was it about ensuring a particular political and ideological response to COVID-19?

What Can We Learn from This?

If we’re being honest, Birx’s revelations confirm what we already knew: the “experts” weren’t always being transparent. They had an agenda, and they found ways to push it, even if it meant fudging timelines and manipulating the flow of information.

So, what can we do moving forward?

1. Demand Transparency – The American people deserve leaders who tell the truth, even when it’s inconvenient. Public health officials should be held to the highest standard of honesty.

2. Hold Leaders Accountable – This isn’t just about Dr. Birx. It’s about ensuring that no bureaucrat—no matter how well-intentioned—has unchecked power to steer policy without oversight.

3. Be Skeptical, Not Cynical – Blind trust in “experts” is just as dangerous as blind rejection of science. We need discernment—question the motives behind policies, examine the data for yourself, and never accept “because I said so” as a valid answer.

Conclusion

Dr. Birx’s admissions should make every American, regardless of political affiliation, livid. This isn’t just about COVID-19; it’s about the future of decision-making in times of crisis. If health officials believe they can manipulate information to “guide” people into compliance, what’s to stop them from doing it again?

Deception—even with good intentions—is still deception. And if we let it slide this time, we can expect more of it next time. As you may know, I’m a steady supporter of President Trump & his cabinet, particularly RKF Jr. However, that support does not come with blind adoration. It comes with expectation & a preparedness to hold them to their promises. 

After all we have learned: shame on us should we allow history to repeat itself. I demand better. So should you.
