Scathing State Dept. Ig Report Foreshadowed Dr. Deborah Birx’s Underwhelming Covid - 19 Performance by Truth Wins Out

What most people don’t know, is that the same month that Dr. Birx was appointed to lead our nation’s response to COVID-19, she was severely criticized in a February 2020 Department of State Inspector General report. The report condemned Birx for her role as Coordinator of the United States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS. The IG verdict says that her leadership style led to “poor communication”, “low morale” and a “lack of collaboration and trust.” The report, by now former Inspector General Steve Linick, was an indictment of Birx’s management and foreshadowed the Trump administration’s disastrous COVID-19 response.

The blistering Inspector General report forewarned us of Birx’s questionable leadership and foretold of the failed U.S. effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Had the Trump Administration done their homework and reviewed the IG report, they may have considered an alternative to lead the coronavirus task force. The dismal results in the U.S. were avoidable, had the government rapidly responded, chosen better leadership and embraced science over fiction.”
