Authored by Bill Rice via The Brownstone Institute,
Most Americans will remember Dr. Deborah Birx as the “scarf lady” who served on the White House’s Covid Response Team beginning in February 2020.
According to a recently-released (but little-seen) 24-minute mini-documentary, it was Birx – even more so than Anthony Fauci – who was responsible for government “guidelines,” almost all of which proved to be unnecessary and disastrous for the country.
According to the documentary, the guidelines ran counter to President Trump’s initial comments on Covid, but ultimately “toppled the White House (and Trump) without a shot being fired.”
The mini-documentary (“It Wasn’t Fauci: How the Deep State Really Played Trump”) was produced by Good Kid Productions. Not surprisingly, the scathing 24-minute video has received relatively few views on YouTube (only 46,500 since it was published 40 days ago on Feb. 26).
I learned of the documentary from a colleague at Brownstone Institute, who added his opinion that “Birx (is) far more culpable than Fauci in the Covid disaster…Well worth the time to see the damage an utter non-scientist, CIA-connected, bureaucrat can do to make sure things are maximally bad.”
I agree; the significant role played by Birx in the catastrophic national response to Covid has not received nearly enough attention.
Brought in from out of Nowhere…
From the video presentation, viewers learn that Birx was added to the White House’s Coronavirus Task Force as its coordinator in latter February 2020.
Birx worked closely with Task Force chairman Vice President Mike Pence, a man one suspects will not be treated well by future historians.
According to the documentary, “career bureaucrats” like Birx somehow seized control of the executive branch of government and were able to issue orders to mayors and governors which effectively “shut down the country.”
These bureaucrats were often incompetent in their prior jobs as was Birx, who’d previously served as a scientist (ha!) in the Army before leading the government’s effort to “fight AIDS in Africa” (via the PEPFAR Program).
When Birx was installed as coordinator of Covid Response she simply rehashed her own playbook for fighting AIDS in Africa, say the filmmakers.
The three tenets of this response were:
- “Treat every case of this virus as a killer.”
- “Focus on children,” who, the public was told, were being infected and hospitalized in large numbers and were a main conduit for spreading the virus.
- “Get to zero cases as soon as possible.” (The “Zero Covid” goal).
The documentary primarily uses quotes from Scott Atlas, the White House Task Force’s one skeptic, to show that all three tenets were false.
Argued Atlas: Covid was not a killer – or a genuine mortality risk – to “99.95 percent” of the population. Children had virtually zero risk of death or hospitalization from Covid. And there was no way to get to “zero cases.”
Atlas Didn’t Shrug, but was Ignored…
Furthermore, the documentary convincingly illustrates how the views of Atlas were ignored and how, at some point, his ability to speak to the press was curtailed or eliminated.
For example, when Atlas organized a meeting for President Trump with Covid-response skeptics (including the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration) this meeting was schedule to last only five minutes.
The documentary also presents a report from the inspector general of the Department of State that was highly critical of Birx’s management style with the African “AIDS relief” program she headed.
Among other claims, the report said she was “dictatorial” in her dealings with subordinates and often “issued threats” to those who disagreed with her approach.
Shockingly, this highly-critical report was published just a month before she was appointed medical coordinator of the Coronavirus Task Force.
A particularly distressing sound bite from Birx lets viewers hear her opinion on how controversial “guidance” might be implemented with little pushback.
According to Birx, she intentionally buried the more draconian elements of the lockdowns in text at the end of long documents, theorizing (correctly apparently) that most reporters or readers would just “skim” the document and would not focus on how extreme and unprecedented these mandates actually were.
The documentary points out that Birx’s prescriptions and those of President Trump were often in complete conflict.
Birx, according to the documentary, once pointed this out to Vice President Pence, who told her to keep doing what she believed.
Indeed, the Vice President gave Birx full use of Air Force 2 so she could more easily travel across the country, spreading her lockdown message to governors, mayors, and other influencers.
Several Covid skeptic writers, including Jeffrey Tucker of Brownstone Institute, have noted that President Trump himself went from an opponent of draconian lockdowns to an avid supporter of these responses in a period of just one or two days (the pivotal change happened on or around March 10th, 2020, according to Tucker).
Whoever or whatever caused this change in position, it does not seem to be a coincidence that this about-face happened shortly after Birx – a former military officer – was named to an important position on the Task Force.
(Personally, I don’t give Anthony Fauci a pass as I’ve always figured he’s a “dark master” at manipulating members of the science/medical/government complex to achieve his own desired results.)
This documentary highlights the crucial role played by Deborah Birx and, more generally, how unknown bureaucrats can make decisions that turn the world upside-down.
That is, most Americans probably think presidents are in charge, but, often, they’re really not. These real rulers of society, one suspects, would include members of the so-called Deep State, who have no doubt installed sycophants like Fauci and Birx in positions of power.
I definitely recommend this 24-minute video…
A Sample of Reader Comments…
I also enjoyed the Reader Comments that followed this video. The first comment is from my Brownstone colleague who brought this documentary to my attention:
“… As I said, things can change over the period of 20 years but in the case of Birx/Fauci, I do not believe so. I have never seen people entrenched in the bureaucracy change.”
Other comments from the people who have viewed the mini-documentary on YouTube:
“Pence needs to be held accountable.”
“What does Debbie’s bank account look like?”
“(The) final assessment of President Trump at the 23:30 mark is, while painful, accurate. He got rolled.”
“This is very hard to find on YouTube. You can literally search the title and it doesn’t come up.”
“Excellent summary, hope this goes viral. Lots of lessons to learn for future generations.”
“Eye opening. Great reporting.”
Post from One Month Ago…
“37 likes after 3 years of the most controversial and divisive action in recent history. How can this be?”
“Oh never mind. YouTube hid it from the public for years.”
“Probably hasn’t been taken down yet for that reason, relatively low views.”
“Thanks for this! Sounds like everyone below President Trump was on a power trip and I didn’t think it was possible to despise Pence more than I already do.”
“…the backing of CDC, legacy media, WHO and government schools, business folding in fear are ALL responsible. Accountability for every person and agency is paramount!”
“Should be noted that her work on AIDS in Africa was just as useless and damaging.”
“First, any mature, adult woman who speaks with that much vocal fry should be immediately suspect. And the glee with which she recounts her role at undermining POTUS is remarkable and repulsive. This woman should NEVER be allowed to operate the levers of power again.”

They already had her in their pocket, retired light colonel probably a spook not a doctor. Or both.
I’m in… got matches too…
I’ll bring the napalm and white phosphorous.
Auntie loves a righteous auto-da-fe.
What are your bringing to the bbq, just so we don’t bring the same thing.
Sulfur and brimstone if I don’t miss my guess.
Actually this woman along with MANY other bureaucrats should all be dangling from lamp posts and short ropes. And I disagree that tRump got rolled. Hes a spinless chameleon and went along with the scam, which he still does to this day.
Spineless chameleons populate our government from city halls to the DC stalls!
And most every employee from the turd flushers to the policy makers
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum
I have no argument against that…
Birx and Fauci.

My only argument with this picture of happier bygone days would be the accumulated costs of the 308s.
The rope, imo, would be a not only better usage of resources being reusable, but also getting full value in entertainment from the drop dance.
I know, I’m one of these people who likes being entertained for longer periods of time. sigh, what can I say.
But you miss the graphic satisfaction of the bullets pockmarking the wall begind them as they pass through their evil bodies.
Ropes are cut down…pockmarks are forever.
A reminder….
Ok… lets split the difference. 50/50 Then everyone gets a little satifaction.
Oh wait… it’ll have to be 33 1/3rd. Forgot about the slow feed chipper.
“THIS”?
Also, you misspelled “WOMEN”.
WOMEN SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED NEAR THE LEVERS OF POWER AGAIN.
fify!
Literally, millions of failed businesses, lost and destroyed lives, outright deaths and horrific disabilities, etc because of the psychopathy of 1 person.
In DC circles she is revered.
But she begged for covid amnesty. Are you going to forgive her? I hope not.
“because of the psychopaths of 1 person”
Don’t believe it….just a fall guy….a morsel tossed to the fire
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum
It’s all a part of the plan…..trust it 😆
Global conspiracies come down to 1 bureaucrat, now?
Truly NO other remedy.
That was an incredibly funny movie. Especially the first half. It take a lot to make me laugh and I’m laughing right now just thinking of it. What was the title of that movie?
“Hurry up, my face is hotter than hemorrhoid’s.” LOLOL!

We know the crime of murder was committed on a RICO scale, we know who the players are and who did it…crickets. Wake me when the hangings start…

.
Birx “was named”, “was added”, and “was appointed” to the White House’s Task Force.
Passive language to avoid mentioning who named, added, and appointed her.
That’s being a real chickenshit to avoid triggering Trumptards.
test, cannot post my comment so i will give up, not favorable to trump’s cabinet
That have done the damage, AND are ramping the Carnage up RIGHT NOW.
birx, fauci, pence, etc….. EVEN drumpf, not THAT stupid.
JUST DOING AS ORDERED.
YUUGE chunks of the population would NOT have even known d. drumpf’s face or name if not for his ‘reality’ Tee-Vee show.
And the REAL FUN has not even started.
THE MOST OBVIOUS in my lifetime?

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Slim P: “Son, all large scale crime is ALWAYS an inside job>”
I agree with the article and have blamed her all along, but as you can see, she had a lot of help from the two people who stabbed Trump in the back the most, Mike Pence, and Jared Kushner. Traitors to the core. Especially Kushner.
Really speaks to the quality of people he hires, right?!?
Thats some 285 level chess right there…
Birx did not seem bright enough to me to have had much ‘intentionality’ or manipulativeness. I had the distinct impression she was chosen solely because of her grandmotherly image and soft voice, i.e. “trust me because I care” image.
Evil lurks behind those eyes, and what you see upfront is… only a front.
Her daughter works for the Gates Foundation. Just a coincidence I’m sure.
Work that feint baby, work that feint.
The Innocent Grandma front really zoomed the ‘conservatives’. After all, how could such a ‘sweet’ looking grammy in a scarf be evil.
LOL suckers!
Personally, I believe the William Wallace treatment (hang, drawn, quartered, burned, beheaded, dismembered and placed in an unmarked grave), may be to lenient for many of these people. But that’s just my thinking on these crimes.
Would you settle for the George Wallace treatment? Free bullet and a wheelchair.
just an actress with a neck-mask
The guillotine for her, make it public, and do it now!!
Pence and Birx are on “the list”.
I recall ‘conservative’ women at Breitbart and other sites raging at me because I wouldn’t agree that Birx was just SO cool, standing there with her stern face and her Plandemic Totalitarianism.
What those ‘conservative’ women LOVED seeing was yet another U.S. female empowered ‘n strong in her padded-shoulder suit, demonstrating that the Sisterhood now was large and in-charge. Those women wanted females in authority and power-positions, and they don’t much care what those females are inflicting . . . because female authority is being demonstrated and obeyed.
I told the ‘conservatives’ that Birx was just another uber-empowered feminist totalitarian, and their embrace of her illustrated why the nation was failing. They did not like hearing the truth.
