Brett Giroir: The Coronavirus Task Force Has Never Felt Pressure from the W.H. To Change Guidance, Facts, or Testing

EXCERPT:

GIROIR: "No, I really have not been in that situation. The task force meetings are very interactive, there's a lot of discussion and we talk about the implications of policies. But the doc group meets frequently, we pass along guidance, we talk about the implications of it. We’ve never been pressured. I've never been told by the President to stop testing or to change a guidance, or to alter the facts. It just doesn’t happen like that. Every task force meeting opens with Dr. Birx looking at all the evidence, what is the epidemiology, it's typically followed by Dr. Fauci and then it goes through all the different docs and policy areas. So it’s very evidence-based, very data-driven. I don’t feel pressured, and none of us on the task force, none of the docs on that task force would bow to pressure."
