The corona situation in the United States still affects the country, despite the fact that about 70 percent of all Americans over the age of 65 have received at least one dose of vaccine. The daily death toll is on average below 1,000 for the first time since November.
However, this is far below the situation back in August, when for the first time since May the country registered more than 2,000 corona-related deaths in one day.
At the same time, negotiations on a crisis package in connection with the pandemic collapsed, and the number of cases of infection exceeded five million.

– Could have been avoided
In the documentary, Birx is also asked how important it would have been if the authorities had introduced the infection control measures that have been shown to slow down the spread of the virus in the past.
– I look at it this way. The first time we had an apology. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from the original wave. The rest of the deaths could in my eyes have been avoided or significantly reduced, says Birx in the documentary according to CNN.
