Why she might be annoying:

    If you saw her on tv during the Covid-19 pandemic, chances are a major spike in cases was underway.
    At least initially, critics said she failed to restore public confidence in the messaging and guidelines of the CDC.
    Senate Republicans on the Health Committee grilled her on promoting pandemic restrictions they deemed unnecessary.
    The Trumpers accused her of promoting 'junk science'.
    She issued a 60 day extension of a federal pandemic related eviction ban, a move the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She earned her Master of Public Health at Harvard and her Doctor of Medicine degree at Johns Hopkins.
    Prior to her tenure with the CDC, she renowned for her research and policy expertise on HIV/AIDS.
    She served as the Chief of Infectious Diseases at Mass General Hospital.
    Navigating a pandemic and public health crisis, with so many skeptics, isn't the easiest job in the world.
    She did her best to issue guidance on how to most effectively mitigate the public health impact of Covid -19.
