This isn't "Recommended Reading" -- it's "Must Reading." An astonishing set of revelations concerning the origin story of Deborah Birx, Trump's pandemic response coordinator who became for a time the most powerful person in the world, directing the course of lockdowns in the United States. Yet the record of her own statements shows she had no qualifications for the job, exaggerated the little she did have, and before her appointment shared secret information with the White House through the wife of a national security staffer, insisting on anonymity. If "the buck stops here," you can blame Trump for hiring this phony.
