Dr. Deborah Birx announced her intent to retire after it was revealed that she violated her own advice on traveling during the holidays. It’s a good start, but she should not be the only high-profile government official stepping down over this kind of hypocrisy.

Birx had said that gatherings for Thanksgiving were a mistake and had said ahead of the Christmas season that the rules on gatherings apply to everybody, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended against travel for the holidays. She then ended up traveling to her Delaware vacation property the day after Thanksgiving, enjoying a meal with family members from two different households.
