Birthday reminder from Google can't be dismissed

I have this issue with my reminders for peoples' birthdays. I have an event on their birthday that comes from my Google contacts. That event has a reminder 1 week in advance. When the 1-week mark hits, I get an undismissable notification from Thunderbird. I can close the reminder window, but it'll show back up within a minute or two. I've tried removing and re-adding this calendar but it doesn't matter. When I look at the details for the event, I see that the Organizer field is Unknown Organizer <unknownorganizer@calendar.google.com>. My regular email address is listed as an attendee. This has been happening for at least the last several months, perhaps more than a year.

This has been an ongoing problem for many years. I've complained about it here and so have others. It seems to be some undesirable interaction between Google Calendar, Google Contacts, and Thunderbird. Calendar notifications can be turned off in Thunderbird, but that takes away much of the utility of the calendar in the first place. As far as I know there is no definitive explanation, and no real solution. But if somebody has one, I'm all ears.

Yeah, I may just end up turning off notifications In Thunderbird. I get them on my phone anyway.
