after she sounded a grim warning about the pandemic's new surge, calling her remarks"pathetic.", said Birx had given into pressure to sound negative.On Sunday, August 2, Birx told CNN that the United States, which has already seen nearly 155,000 deaths from COVID-19, is entering"a new phase" of viral spread.

"I think the president is spreading disinformation about the virus and she is his appointee, so I don't have confidence there, no," Pelosi said on ABC television."It is deeply irresponsible of Speaker Pelosi to repeatedly try to undermine & create public distrust in Dr Birx, the top public health professional on the coronavirus task force," Alyssa Farah, director of strategic communications, tweeted."It's also just wrong.
