Sorry, all I got out of the interview was her making one excuse after another for going along to get along.

If she'd had any integrity, she would have resigned and then done TV interviews all over the place to explain why - let the public know what was going on in real time instead of months after the fact.

I'm not about to shed any tears for Dr. Birx.
