Birx: I felt "extraordinarily uncomfortable" when Trump talked about disinfectant

When asked by Trump whether she could look into light therapy as a treatment for Covid, she politely responds that it does work as a treatment for fevers but that she has not seen it suggested as a treatment for coronavirus.

‘Frankly, I didn’t know how to handle that episode,’ Birx told ABC News Live’s The Breakdown on Monday.

‘I still think about it every day.’

Birx said that her three decades of military service had kicked in and that she thought it better to discuss the matter in private.

‘You can see how extraordinarily uncomfortable I was,’ Birx said, noting that at the time Trump had been speaking to a different official in the room.
