Knoxville Mayor Shares Chilling 2020 Talk When Deborah Birx Admitted the Truth Didn’t Matter When It Came to the Science
Public officials faced pressure from “experts” to upend the lives of everyday Americans in the name of combating COVID. But were these measures really justifiable?
Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Glenn Jacobs — popularly known for his work with World Wrestling Entertainment as Kane — recalled an exchange with a certain doctor who gave no indication that lockdown measures were proven to be effective.
Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, which featured former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, proved that lockdown measures enacted during COVID are still an open wound.
Fauci, a power-hungry braggart who loved the spotlight, was reduced to a sheepish old man, opting to invoke the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions.
He ruined lives in the name of “science,” but now has nothing to say.
Another “expert” in the spotlight is Dr. Deborah Birx, who served as the coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force during President Donald Trump’s final year of his first term.
On Saturday, Jacobs remembered an exchange he had with Birx that proved anti-COVID policies were more of a stunt than a safety measure.
Replying to a post on social media platform X from the Young Americans for Liberty, Jacobs clarified statements he had previously made to the group, branding the response to the virus a “marketing campaign.”
Jacobs wrote, “Here’s the story: Deborah Birx came to Knoxville to tell us what to do. She said to close restaurants and bars.
“When someone said the data didn’t show the virus spread in restaurants and bars, she replied, ‘That’s true, but we have to show people that this is serious.’”
