Birx Retiring

 Dr. Deborah Birx is announcing her retirement over the holiday travel kerfluffle.

Dr. Deborah Birx, the Trump administration’s coronavirus response coordinator, announced Tuesday that she will retire shortly, citing the criticism she received over the weekend for traveling to visit her relatives over the holidays, violating her own coronavirus guidelines.

I always liked Dr. Birx, and thought that she was shooting straight with us, but if she is going to make recommendations, then do something entirely different, she should step down.  Hypocrisy doesn't look good on a public health authority.  I can kind of expect it from New York politicians, and CNN reporters, but not on anyone that should be trustworthy.

Too bad, Deborah.  One aw-shit wipes out a thousand atta-boys.
