A "distressed" Birx questions how long she can remain on White House task force, sources sayDr. Deborah Birx listens during a coronavirus briefing at the White House on April 20. Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images
According to people familiar with her thinking, Birx views Dr. Scott Atlas, a recent addition to the task force, as an unhealthy influence on President Trump's thinking when it comes to the virus. A longtime US government health official, Birx became a household name during the early weeks of the pandemic, appearing with Trump at news conferences in the White House briefing room to deliver sobering warnings about the threat posed by the virus. In recent weeks, however, Birx has spent much less time with Trump, as she is now dispatched to raise awareness of the administration's pandemic efforts in states where cases of Covid-19 have surged.
An administration official close to the West Wing's coronavirus response acknowledged the addition of Atlas has unsettled some of the experts on the task force. But the official maintained Atlas"shook things up a bit" and brought"fresh eyes" to discussions behind the scenes, a dynamic Trump prefers.Trump has invited Atlas to appear at recent White House news conferences to field questions from reporters. Noticeably absent in the briefing room, Birx and Dr.
Unlike Fauci, who occasionally differs with the President's statements on the virus during television appearances, Birx is seen as much more of a team player inside the administration. During one memorable task force news conference in late April, Birx famously bit her tongue and sat stone-faced as Trump suggested that government researchers investigate whether injections of disinfectants could somehow guard Americans against the virus.

Smells of desperation.
You mean like the kind of mid information the WHO and China initially spread about the Wuhan Virus? That kind of misinformation? Jan 2020 the WHO reports it and China found no clear evidence of human to human transmission. Boy were they wrong, or lieing, or incompetent
Misinformation... really? From the WHO and this lying a**hole! They lied to the world about the ChinaVirus from the get-go. You don’t remember that CNNFakeNews? I believe in anything from the WHO as much as I would believe any so-called journalism spewed from CNN.
The WHO...the China puppet that was complicit with releasing this virus on the world.
Isn’t that special.. the WHO, that didn’t use science based decisions in Jan and Feb with COVID, now calling for battling misinformation! Really! They killed 10s of thousands with their delays, China propaganda, etc... got rid of these people!
