无声入侵：特朗普政府的不为人知的故事，新冠肺炎，在为时已晚之前预防下一次大流行

黛博拉·伯克斯（Deborah Birx），“无声入侵：特朗普政府的不为人知的故事，新冠肺炎，在为时已晚之前预防下一次大流行”
白宫冠状病毒应对协调员兼冠状病毒特别工作组成员黛博拉·伯克斯博士对特朗普政府应对新冠肺炎大流行的确切内部描述。
2020年2月底，德博拉·伯克斯博士（Deborah Birx）被要求加入特朗普白宫冠状病毒工作队，协助已经摇摇欲坠的联邦政府应对新冠肺炎大流行。伯克斯博士是一名终身联邦卫生官员，曾在美国疾病预防控制中心、国务院和美国陆军的多个总统府任职。几周来，她一直在幕后对她在公共场合看到的事情发出警报，从白宫明显缺乏紧迫感，到日常淡化美国人面临的风险。入主白宫后，她的任务是帮助修复破败的联邦方法，让特朗普总统看到这种病毒对我们所有人构成的危险。
《无声入侵》讲述的是她亲眼目睹并在接下来的一年里生活的故事——这是特朗普政府对现代最严重的公共卫生危机做出的反应的一个令人大开眼界的内部描述，在这里首次详细介绍。伯克斯博士从第一天起就受到了白宫西翼的怀疑，她超越了媒体的猜测和政治手腕，展示了她在特朗普白宫的真正对手。她深入研究了艰难的胜利、代价高昂的错误，以及围绕政府努力的人类戏剧性事件，分析了阻碍控制病毒努力的力量，并探索了这些错误为什么在今天继续困扰着我们。
然而，在这些令人痛苦的失误中，有一些亮点为历史上最快的疫苗研发指明了方向，有一些州长将公民的健康放在首位，还有一些部落国家，尽管它们的医疗体系资金严重不足，但却显示了社区在遏制传播方面的强大作用。总的来说，这些成功揭示了许多致力于拯救生命的人的英勇工作，也突显了改革我们公共卫生机构的迫切需要，因此它们足够灵活和有弹性，能够应对下一次大流行。
随着疫情进入第三个年头，令两届总统政府困惑不解，伯克斯博士同时讲述了一个紧迫而又令人沮丧的故事，因为新冠肺炎继续将数千美国人的生命置于危险之中。最终的结果是对特朗普政府控制几代人以来最大的健康危机的斗争进行了迄今为止最全面、最广泛的描述——这是一个启示性的视角，我们可以从错误中吸取教训，防止这种情况再次发生。
Silent Invasion: The Untold Story of the Trump Administration, Covid-19, and Preventing the Next Pandemic Before It’s Too Late
Deborah Birx, “Silent Invasion: The Untold Story of the Trump Administration, Covid-19, and Preventing the Next Pandemic Before It’s Too Late”
The definitive, inside account of the Trump Administration’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic from White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator and Coronavirus Task Force member, Dr. Deborah Birx.
In late February 2020, Dr. Deborah Birx—a lifelong federal health official who had worked at the CDC, the State Department, and the US Army across multiple presidential administrations—was asked to join the Trump White House Coronavirus Task Force and assist the already faltering federal response to the Covid-19 pandemic. For weeks, she’d been raising the alarm behind the scenes about what she saw happening in public—from the apparent lack of urgency at the White House to the routine downplaying of the risks to Americans. Once in the White House, she was tasked with helping fix the broken federal approach and making President Trump see the danger this virus posed to all of us.
Silent Invasion is the story of what she witnessed and lived for the next year—an eye-opening, inside account, detailed here for the first time, of the Trump Administration’s response to the greatest public health crisis in modern times. Regarded with suspicion in the West Wing from day one, Dr. Birx goes beyond the media speculation and political maneuvering to show what she was really up against in the Trump White House. Digging into the hard-fought victories, the costly mistakes, and the human drama surrounding the administration’s efforts, she examines the forces that crippled efforts to control the virus and explores why these blunders continue to haunt us today.
And yet amid the agonizing missteps were bright spots that point the way forward—the fastest vaccine creation in history, governors that put their citizens’ health first, and Tribal Nations that demonstrated the powerful role of community in curbing spread, despite their criminally underfunded healthcare systems. Collectively these successes reveal the valiant work of many who were committed to saving lives, as well as highlighting the dire need to reform our public health institutions, so they are nimble and resilient enough to confront the next pandemic.
With the pandemic now moving into its third year confounding two presidential administrations, Dr. Birx presents a story at once urgent and frustratingly unfinished, as Covid-19 continues to put thousands of American lives at risk. The end result is the most comprehensive and extensive accounting to date of the Trump Administration’s struggle to control the biggest health crisis in generations—a revelatory look at how we can learn from our mistakes and prevent this from happening again.
