Scientist who saved F47's life in 2020 (COVID) was fired

by Musk et al today.

I guess Musk was punishing the good doctor. Who is going to tell F47?

That reason for the trip to Walter Reed was under secretary and left to speculation. He was saved by the research that scientists worked tirelessly on vaccines and life saving infusions. They are gone now. They should have let him croak.

The secret visit was never explained .
When he was released after Covid he went to the White House balcony and made a display of removing his mask ( another fist pump moment for the msm to broadcast)

with your last comment. Anyone remember when that SF came back to WH and he whipped off his face mask on the veranda of the WH and looked like a POS breathing heavy.

While he was still contagious. The agent driving had to wear a hazmat suit and a special mask, etc. to drive him around- they all should’ve refused. I remember that he got the best treatment in the world that saved his life unlike so many that he murdered.

When interviewed on TV she said he kept it secret as he didn't want to be the "butt" of jokes at the time and she bashed him for letting his ego stand in way of using the visit as a chance to educate the public on benefits of screening. Reportedly he didn't want to give Mike Pence temporary authority as Bush had done for his VP during procedure, so Trump did procedure with no anesthesia.
