If she's not going to be honest and forthcoming she's of no value. I was willing to give Birx a pass but no longer

How many times does the media have to ask the same redundant gotcha questions? At least he can get hydroxy. Besides as you all know the recovery rate is 99.9723% as of yesterday, were good.

Shes a waste of time

Birx is partisan trash! She doesn’t care about healthcare. She cares about trump. It’s time to call a spade a spade!

THE POINT REALLY IS...DRs JUST HAND OUT A DRUG WNEN ASKED! TRUE DRUG DEALERS! Franktmcveety

She's just thinking he'll fire her too 🙄

He's probably banging her

Complicit

I love your responds to the less busy press men

Why would she comment and risk being lambasted by someone ! I thought it was a great response !

Just lost a lot of respect from a lot of people on that one how far up trumps ass is she a lot

Why would she feed into your bullshit?

Finally you got it Dr. Birx

Come on Doc! Did he test positive

Her response proves that her years in the medical profession mean nothing. She sold her soul to the devil.

katierogers Lol. She’s King!

From the world what we see is individually in the US people r smart but Collectively you r not bc you are so divided. You blindly believe what the media is telling you which r twisted lies which divides you more. WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES! The drug works. The world is using it.

She is secretly hoping that it will kill him...

Dr. Birx knows wassup.. She already confirmed with Trump’s doc that it’s chewable vitamin c..and she said hell to the no, I’m not gonna purger myself!

What’s the point of a stupid question like that? Learn some journalism!

Coward

She's so pathetic.

Poor Lady.

Ok, weather girl. You're dismissed.

TRUMPS BANANA REPUBLIC

It would be funny if it rained tomorrow.

Nice one. Why they have to asked her it’s a personal decision of the Pres. Period!

You mean he drug used in every other country outside the US to successfully treat those that recently caught the virus? And the drug that most countries outside the US give to first responders and the medical front line as a prophylactic against the Wuhan Virus.

Can I get an official comment on your continual insistence that hydroxychloroquine is an unproven drug when it has been approved by the FDA and has led to many good outcomes when used to treat COVID-19?

ITS NONE OF ARE BUISNESS... This is not news. Do what you have to do to be Happy, and Let OTHERS do what they have to do to be Happy..?!? Like WHO CARES...?!?!?

She went over to the dark side

Why white women defend trump so much what is it about trump that white women love so much? Is it the pu$$y grabbing with no permission, is it the name calling, is it that he refers to women as nothing more than they should be doing the dishes or it is his racism?

I can understand trumps children lying effortlessly for him. However, I question those like this women who has her own family and career before trump and yet she chooses to sabotage it for a compulsive liar and snake. As a medical professional she knows it’s wrong for him to lie

Another Trump Puppeteer. She has lost all of my respect.

KeithOlbermann Well no wonder she avoided medical questions. Her assignment today is being the weather lady.

Tell the president I heard cyanide will prevent you from getting he carona virus!

Triple-drug combo of anti-malaria pill hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and ZINC improved coronavirus patients' WITHOUT HEART DISEASE chances of being discharged and cut death risk by more than 50%, study finds

The studies done on drugs in hospitals are on the living dead with advance pneumonia over 80% can't be helped. Doctors and patients in California hospitals are taking Hydroxychloroquine Drug with zinc except heart patients then it's Remdesivir with covid19 for weeks now!

Bimbet with a scarf

Plenty doctors and nurses taking it as well. Besides. If he tips over from it, won’t you all be so giddy. His body, his doctor relationship.

What salvage response! Can’t stop loving Dr Birx..... Calling out bias for what it is.

She’s a looser as well. Shameful!

Wow! The old lady has some pep in her step this morning. Apparently the batteries in her dildo haven't died!

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

This is your story !!!! No interactions with guess what so of course he took ! Blow it up folks ! Unless Disney is tied to Trump? I hope not for sake of the truth !

Because he's full of crap!! 🙄 If she says anything, she'll probably get fired.

Wearing a mask reduces your immune system because you’re stressing your body.

Right. It’s his decision.

People give it up! The government does not care about us little people. Just the 1%! Kill more of us to get the stock market to trend higher! Don't test it just makes Trump look bad! WE THE PEOPLE are fuked!

What ever trump tells you to do, just do the opposite you’ll be better off😉

I think it’s a smart move on the doctors part to ignore it

I like her

This is exactly how YOU need to be treated 👏👏👏

KeithOlbermann She needs to stop at the brainwashing station before her press brief

She is sooo tired of him.

As a doctor she must know that it’s irresponsible for him to keep pushing an unproven drug. I’m convinced more & more everyday that this is trumps way of trying to get rid of the poor, democratic masses.

I can’t imagine what she’s saying to herself under her mask

I would suggest asking her the same question again in the news conference. I doubt she would comment on the weather again 😁

Rheumatoid arthritis.

LOL...I love her response😂

She’s a trumphumper. Has been since day 1. I haven’t liked her since the beginning.

Just like Mr Toupee..ignoring and deflecting questions on the virus and why he is taking drugs that might cause cardiac problems,since he is so obese and has cardiac issues.

His doctor approved the medicine. Therefore is it common sense to ask his doctor?

drbirx is a “Karen” without the scarves and the MD degree she has seemingly flushed down Trump’s toilet

Do you blame her? I would too. There comes a point where you get tired of defending this lunatic. It’s EXHAUSTING listening to him and the shit that comes out of his mouth🤯.

Love the response ✊

Here is an analysis of benefits for hydroxychloroquine (skip to minute 23) and Ivermectin and Zinc (skip to minute 25) and vitamin D (skip to minute 32) and COVID -19 responses compared (skip to minute 35) and gold standard (skip to minute 39).

Who is she... really?

Whatever she says, y'all will twist it! Should like a ver wise choice to me!!!

If she told the truth she’d b fired!

She's about as trust worthy as Donny Trump!! sellout ImpeachedPresidentTrump

She’s been drinking the kool aid.

I would ignore you too ... duh

Thousands of people around the earth have been cured of CV19 by taking it but sure, unproven.

She's sending u a message. None of your business.

Why do we care again, that he's taking some untested, side-effect-ridden, wanna-be-remedy to the virus?

Is trump taking it cuz he’s infected?

KeithOlbermann The rain called. It wants its lack of forecast back. The seventies called. They want their scarf back. Hydrochloroqine called. Needs more time.

That's because she didn't know he was taking it. No one knew. Because he wasn't. He just blurted it out like the rest of the verbal diarrhea and lies because he thought it sounded good at the time. Totally delusional.

I am not even going to say sh** about her, Trump has her on a leash.

Unproven by whom you lying bastards? Every other country in the world has been using this drug combo with great effectiveness. I think journalists , and politicians who toy with people’s lives to propagate hyperbole should pay with their own !

chloroquine is proven safe and effective. FakeNews

I just started watching Walking Dead, I am in season 3, she looks like a walker in this clip. Working for that dude must be draining.

us ranchers depend on rain. thanks doc

If you listen closely she actually is saying, “please save me, I have lost the will to live.”😳

How long would most people care about what Trump is doing to himself is dangerous? She may be at that point, or long past, caring.

She’s not his personal physician. Why would she comment? Dumb question. FakeNews

Because she doesn’t want to corroborate a lie?

Yet media ignores the dangers of politicians delivering Marijuana, alcohol, methadone to addicted homeless to their government paid hotels. And don’t tell me addicts would not use all three together. I worked with at risk kids for 31 years!

Smooth.

Wheeeee!!!!!!!

Bitch

Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is considered a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD). It can decrease the pain and swelling of arthritis. Hydroxychloroquine is in a class of medications that was first used to prevent and treat malaria.

Looks like she may be taking it too!

First, do no harm....?

she got the jack symbiosis bubble chamber spin doctors endocrinology pine cone pin-e c-one. cyberspace anti gaming ,gaming. net neutrality symbiosis stiff upper lip ac/dc she god the jack~! ride on ride on. president tooth fairy

She’s a tool

You know shes not going to be cought in advancing Trumps LIEING She only deals with the truth and science!! At times it's just better to say nothing! Let him dig the Hole deeper all by him self theres no need to help him Because he knows all LOL

complicit Put her up on the Wall of SHame in the Impeached President's museum.

Silence of a Doctor is scary!!

She would be an excellent president...

Double-talk always bites on the ass

Her supervillain name: The dodging scarf.

He has the best doctor’s in the world.I’m sure there keeping a good eye on him. Why can’t you report it like that instead of being so damn negative.

She lost her nerve. Too bad.

I said it from DAY ONE about her... She's a 'company woman'... She is a disgrace to the medical field. She is abandoning her duty/oath as a licensed physician to ' do no harm' ... Her reckless complacency is costing lives.

God damn media entitlement. Lady was walking and she got to be interviewed everywhere she goes? “Appears to be avoiding shouting curse words to inappropriate timing of reporters questioning ” the better click bait

Because she will have to tell the truth! So the best way to not tell the truth is to not say anything at all.

Lol... she isn’t falling for the drive by bait the fake news is putting out. If it didn’t work and makes people sick, wouldn’t you guys be happy he is taking it? 🤔

Ah but Deb. That’s what you prefer to be called right?

Irresponsible as a doctor to not have given the truth and proper information to the public.

Diva2288000686 🤣

KeithOlbermann Trump has brainwashed her.

ditzkoff KevinMKruse

Just another sycophant. So much for her hippocratic oath.

KeithOlbermann She'll be seething at him. She's not sycophantic, but seems overly respectful of him; she's not stupid, but accepts his stupidity. We can only hope, fairly soon, when he knows firing her would damage him, that she absolutely guts him - I suspect she's very capable of doing that.

and her walking

Trump disregards facts and science! That is Hitler's style! Worse, US has secret multi-usage direct energy weapon which can affect human brain and mind in insidious way. World shouldn't yield to him any further! Necessary sacrifices avert disaster!

i like her dress

Oh c'mon, given the indisputable evidence on hydroxychloroquine related fatal arrhythmia NO-ONE in they're right mind wou... ...oh.

political answer! who thinks doctors just know science?

Why is it every one connected to Trump loses their creditability!!!!!!!Amazing isn’t it!!!!!!!

A doctor prescribed that medication for President Trump. My sister has been taking it for 12 years.

KeithOlbermann Sold soul!

AlgiersLady Don’t believe he’s taking it. Can’t believe anything he says. He makes everything about him.

What the hell? Rain. No vaccine and she's talking rain. This quack is enabling elder abuse. Trump can barely spit out a complete sentence. It may be signs of mini strokes. Pretty soon he's going to look like he doesn't know where he is. People around him are endangering hishealth

KeithOlbermann See Birx Run Run Running to Escape Conscience!

Well after all: the weather is the clear priority! This is preposterous! The stakes are so high that powerful and authoritative individuals should now be calling this President out. If they did the administration would fold like a pack of cards! They would be patriots!

She wants to replace Melania so bad.

She is a lap dog. realDrBirx

Swing that badge, Hunty!

Yep, premeditated answer!! answerthequestiondoc

AbC is always sticking their nose into someone else's business. Some day some one is going chop it off. It is none of ABC's business what Trump are anyone else uses for medicine. It is still a free country because Trump is here. After November the false media want.

As usual putting their spin on what they think Americans need to hear. FakeNewsMedia

KeithOlbermann But there's a storm brewing !

POPPET

Doctors are in agreement that this is currently the most effective therapy available

When will PressSec tell us realDonaldTrump poisoned himself or he gave “alternative facts” and never took the drug. It’s got to end one of those two ways.

I have lost all respect for this woman, she has become part of the trump cover up, you can no longer relie on any thing she says.

she has an art teacher walk

TheView Democrats frothing at the mouth because Trump is taking a medication that no one is forcing them to take 😂😂. Good lord you are all such lunatics and its hilarious watching you squirm every single time he speaks 🤡🤡

TheView Don’t believe for a moment that lying conman is telling the truth about taking hydroxychloroquine. He’s going to turn around and say “see, I took it and Nothing happened to me”.

It's NONE of ABC's business. A person's health is their business.... and for ABC to try to make is their's is a HIPPA violation. ABC just wants something, anything, to bash & trash the President.

NEW: who cares, he is under the supervision of his doctor.

A decision between doctor and patient, the press but out

FDA approved.. used for multiple ailments prophylactic. The only people are stunned are you idiots in the news media ..that have been lying to us for the past 3 1/2 years. Just remain stunned you know like a bug who gets zapped in a bug zapper..

Make sure the whole family gets some. Wash it down with some good bleach then sit outside and stare at the sun!

It was to distract from the fact that he sold 8billion dollars worth of arms to Saudi Arabia on the day we found out that a Saudi terrorist killed soldiers on our base in our country. Duh.

And so what if he wants to take it that's the Presidents choice

And We condemn the fish entering depression

Most probably he is suffering already and secretly the COVID-19

BodyLanguage alone exposes the full clear display of realDonaldTrump TrumpPlagueMeltdown As A Liar!!! thenation MotherJones nytimes PostOpinions CBS MSNBC

And I can’t tell you why half of Americans (the Left half) are on crayons! But it’s their choice, just as it’s Trump and his WH Doctor’s choice!

I think its safe to assume he’s lying , he has a spotty past with anything that resembles truth...

It works !

He’s not taking it!!! Stop believing this dude. He’s NOT taking it!!!
