Dr. Birx says she will retire after 'overwhelming' holiday travel scandal

WASHINGTON — Dr. Deborah Birx has announced she plans to retire after being outed on Sunday for not following her own holiday travel guidance, calling the experience “overwhelming.”

In an interview with Newsy, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator said she would help the incoming Biden administration but then planned to head for the exits.

“I want the Biden administration to be successful,” Birx said, noting that she has worked in the federal government since the Reagan administration in 1980.
“I will be helpful in any role that people think I can be helpful in and then I will retire,” she went on.

“I will have to say, as a civil servant, I will be helpful through a period of time, and then I will have to say, this experience has been a bit overwhelming. It has been very difficult on my family … I think what was done over the last week to my family.”

The infectious disease expert, 64, was outed on Sunday for not following her own travel guidance when she was joined by three different generations of family at one of her vacation properties on Fenwick Island in Delaware the day after Thanksgiving.

She was roundly criticized for not following her own orders after publicly urging Americans in the days leading up to Thanksgiving to limit gatherings to “your immediate household.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also warned Americans not to travel over the holidays and had discouraged indoor gatherings involving members of different households as infection rates continue to soar.

Birx, who is an internationally recognized AIDS researcher, had been pursuing a role in the incoming Biden administration, according to an Associated Press report from earlier this month.

But in the Newsy interview, Birx indicated she had changed her mind due to the intense focus on her personal life.

She also tried to justify her decision to travel to Delaware from Washington with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren.

“I think what was done in the past week to my family — you know, they didn’t choose this for me. They’ve tried to be supportive, but to drag my family into this,” Birx trailed off.

“My daughter hasn’t left that house in 10 months, my parents have been isolated for 10 months. They’ve become deeply depressed as I’m sure many elderly have as they’ve not been able to see their sons, their granddaughters,” she said.

“My parents have not been able to see their surviving son for over a year. These are all very difficult things,” she added.

Doctors’ association executives were among the guests at a pricey Napa Valley dinner attended by Gov. Gavin Newsom that saw the Democrat catch heat for being a COVID-19 hypocrite, a new report said.

California Medical Association CEO Dustin Corcoran and lobbyist Janus Norman joined Newsom at the dinner for 12 at elite dining institution French Laundry to celebrate the birthday of Newsom adviser Jason Kinney, Politico reported on Wednesday.

The presence of Corcoran and Norman at the opulent dinner is likely to add fuel to the fire after news of the soiree leaked just hours after Newsom pushed state guidelines discouraging such large gatherings, let alone including members of more than three households.

They did it. They closed schools because a pretend metric...


Newsom told Californians last week to rethink their own Thanksgiving dinner plans as the state surpassed 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases.
A spokesperson for the CMA said in a statement to Politico that “the dinner was held in accordance with state and county guidelines.”

But photos from the mask-less French Laundry dinner show Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom seated next to Norman.
“I should have modeled better behavior,” Newsom said Friday after the photos surfaced.
