Yes, I agree, but...

Yeah, I totally agree that Deborah Birx was a complete idiot when she said that Trump followed the science, or when she did not speak out when he suggested ingesting bleach etc.

She acknowledged that that all deaths beyond the first 100k were probably attributable to Trump's terrible response.

Hers, by extension, to some extent.

But.

Here is one thing that is bugging me: yet again a certain large segment of the media seems to be putting the blame on her. Blame the woman. It's just such a tired trope. Why not blame Pence, who is gearing up to run in 2024? Or the surgeon general, Jerome Adams? Why Dr Birx and not that sorry excuse of a doctor and scientist Dr Redfield, head of the fucking CDC, who is not claiming Sars-CoV2 came from a fucking lab in Wuhan, yeah no, delusional? Or Azar, who apparently fought with just about everyone involved at least once? Or or or... maybe let's start seriously talking about how Trump committed a fucking genocide?

But no. Must easier to lay the whole blame for the previous admin's pathetic response on the shoulders of the one women.
