One of the 2020 people we will definitely not miss is Deborah Birx. We are sick of her complicity and her scarves. And while Anthony Fauci is also, to a degree, complicit in enabling Donald Trump — standing by silently while he spouted off nonsense in the White House briefing room — it was Birx who annoyed us more. Maybe because we visited her Wiki page and found her resume to be thinner than expected. Or maybe it was just those damn scarves.
Well, she's out now. Or at least, "retiring," after she flouted her own COVID-19 guidelines and traveled to Delaware for Thanksgiving. We have a hunch that she wasn't going to last long into the new Administration anyway, and that someone from Team Biden called her and said, "Deborah, why not leave on your own terms?" Good riddance.
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, the Knox County Commission has dissolved the county's Board of Health. According to the White House task force on which Birx served/serves, Knoxville has the most dire COVID infection rate of any other US city its size. The Knox County Commission didn't like the Board of Health telling people what they should do to keep from spreading the coronavirus: wearing masks, staying home, etc.
So who needs a Board of Health when you're in a pandemic that's killed 315,000 people and you've got one of the worst infection rates in the country?
In case you're wondering how county leaders could behave so stupidly and irresponsibly, the answers are simple: The county commission is controlled by Republicans. And the Neanderthal in the picture above is Knox County mayor, libertarian and former wrestler Glenn Jacobs. Need we say more? We cats HISS.
