The Trump administration deliberately undermined the nation's coronavirus response for political purposes, including by weakening testing guidance and championing widespread "herd immunity," according to a new report from the House panel investigating the pandemic response.
The Democratic staff report released Friday was a summation of the year's work investigating political interference in the pandemic response from Trump officials and the former president himself.
In interviews with officials and from uncovered emails and other documents, the committee found that the former administration failed to heed warnings about supply shortages, blocked public health officials from speaking publicly and neglected the pandemic response in order to focus on the 2020 presidential election and on promoting the lie that the election was "stolen" from Trump through widespread fraud.
New evidence released by the panel Friday highlighted the frustration and anger among senior public health officials with Trump's embrace of the herd immunity strategy.
In one instance, Trump held a roundtable event at the White House in August 2020 with some of herd immunity's top proponents that was organized by Scott Atlas, a radiologist who became a special adviser to Trump.
According to emails obtained by the panel, former White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx described it as “a fringe group."
"I can't be part of this with these people who believe in herd immunity," Birx wrote in an email to then-Chief of Staff to the Vice President Marc Short. "These are people who believe that all the curves are predetermined and mitigation is irrelevant -- they are a fringe group without grounding in epidemics, public health or on the ground common sense experience. I am happy to go out of town or whatever gives the WH cover," she wrote.
Other details released by the panel Friday showed the Trump White House intentionally “softened” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's public health guidance for faith communities.
Jay Butler, the deputy director for infectious diseases, told the panel in an interview he was pressured by the White House to publish guidance for faith communities that “softened some very important public health recommendations,” such as removing all references to face coverings, a suggestion to suspend choirs, and language related to virtual services.

Former President Trump said in an interview that aired on Sunday that he would not impose a boycott against the Beijing Olympics, saying such a move “almost makes us look like, I don’t know, sore losers.”
When asked by “Sunday Morning Futures” anchor Maria Bartiromo if he would imposed a diplomatic boycott the 2022 Beijing Olympics like the Biden administration did, Trump said, “No, because I watched Jimmy Carter do it, and it was terrible. It was terrible. It hurts the athletes.”
“There are much more powerful things we can do than that, much, much more powerful things. That’s not a powerful thing. It almost makes us look like, I don’t know, sore losers,” he added.
Trump said that he would instead like to see U.S. athletes perform well and “win every single medal.”
Earlier this month, the White House announced that it would be implementing a diplomatic boycott against the 2022 Beijing Olympics, saying no government officials would be in attendance. However, the administration stopped short of imposing a full boycott against the Games, which would have stopped U.S. athletes from participating.
“I don’t think that we felt it was the right step to penalize athletes who have been training, preparing for this moment and we felt that we could send a clear message by not sending an official U.S. delegation,” Psaki said when asked why the U.S. was not also pulling its athletes out.
The White House’s decision was praised by members of both parties as China faces scrutiny over human rights abuse concerns and its treatment of the Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, among other issues. Some lawmakers had earlier expressed openness to a diplomatic boycott.
“I think it's a mistake to have a full boycott of the Olympics,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said last month prior to the White House’s decision. “We've got young men and young women - Americans who spent their whole lives practicing for this moment. I don't want to punish those young athletes. What we ought to do - I do agree with the notion of a so-called diplomatic boycott.”
