Former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis about the Trump administration’s pandemic response. She repeated her claim that up to 130,000 deaths were preventable and explained that beginning in April of 2020, there were “parallel streams of data coming into the White House and parallel analyses that I was not privy to.” She named Dr. Scott Atlas, former White House Coronavirus Task Force adviser, as someone who gave former President Trump COVID-19 misinformation, which resulted in unnecessary deaths. Dr. Birx also addressed other issues regarding the Trump administration’s pandemic response, such as White House officials being preoccupied with the 2020 election, misguided data collection amid asymptomatic individuals, and some officials downplaying the pandemic. She also emphasized that too many deaths are still occurring. close
