“#Mark Meadows slams Fauci, Birx for account of COVID response<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Monday hit back at new criticism of the COVID-19 pandemic from former White House Coronavirus Task Force members Drs. Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci, calling their accounts \u201crevisionist\u201d and \u201cdisingenuous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we heard last night on CNN was rhetoric we never heard in the West Wing from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx,\u201d Meadows told former Trump strategist Steve Bannon on his \u201cWar Room\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

The infectious disease experts faulted Trump\u2019s handling of the crisis in interviews for a special broadcast on the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Fauci criticized Trump for tweeting in April 2020 that states should be \u201cliberated\u201d from draconian COVID-19 lockdowns \u2014 saying \u201cthat hit me like a punch to the chest.\u201d Birx said that after the first 100,000 US deaths from the virus, \u201call of the rest\u2026 could have been mitigated or decreased substantially.\u201d States have reported about 550,000 COVID-19 deaths.<\/p>\n

Birx also said that she and Trump had a \u201cvery uncomfortable\u201d call after she warned about the pandemic\u2019s severity on TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you about the \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 phone call. It had nothing to do with any of that,\u201d Meadows said. \u201cIt had to do with the fact that Deborah Birx started talking about keeping schools closed and remote learning. And that was what it was all about because that was not based on science<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meadows said that Trump \u201cnever went against\u201d the advice of medical advisers and that state governments reopened from initial shutdowns pursuant to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that was developed in cooperation with the White House task force.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were never held back from going public. In fact, most of the time, Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci both would agree publicly \u2014 and they have stated so publicly \u2014 that the president did everything that they asked him to do,\u201d Meadows said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what is also alarming is to have this revisionist type of program last night to suggest that there was something different that should have been done when they were actually in the room helping make the decisions. In fact, if anything, for those kind of comments to come out last night, it was not only alarming but just very disingenuous to suggest that the president was pushing back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump allies previously faulted Birx and Fauci for attending White House COVID-19 briefings without wearing protective face masks \u2014 and for not encouraging the public to wear them \u2014 through March and April, despite their early adoption in East Asia.<\/p>\n

Trump frequently touts his instinct to take bold early action during the pandemic, including banning travel<\/a> from China in January 2020 and from Europe in March 2020. He said in a recent statement that his leadership led to successful and rapid production of COVID-19 vaccines through Operation Warp Speed and that \u201cif I wasn\u2019t President, you wouldn\u2019t be getting that beautiful \u2018shot\u2019 for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn\u2019t be getting it at all.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
