Dr. Deborah Birx told ABC News that she had a resignation pact with other doctors on President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response team.
But she admitted to being caught frozen on camera when Trump spoke at a news conference about using injected disinfectant as a treatment for Covid-19.
Said Birx: “I just wanted it to be The Twilight Zone and it all go away. I could just see everything unraveling in that moment.”
She added: “This was a tragedy on many levels.”
