Rick Bright, the ousted health official responsible for developing drugs to fight the coronavirus pandemic, filed a whistleblower’s complaint accusing the Trump administration of retaliating when he raised concerns
WASHINGTON - The ousted director of a U.S. agency responsible for developing drugs to fight the coronavirus pandemic filed a whistleblower’s complaint on Tuesday accusing President Donald Trump’s administration of retaliating when he raised concerns.
The U.S. coronavirus death toll, now over 70,000, is the world’s highest. Democratic politicians and some fellow Republicans have criticized Trump for playing down the threat of the virus and then being slow to galvanize the production of testing and protective gear. “We are deeply disappointed that he has not shown up to work on behalf of the American people and lead on this critical endeavor,” Oakley said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the U.S. Congress, called Bright’s disclosures “very damaging.” Bright said in the statement that the U.S. government has promoted the medicines as a “panacea” even though they “clearly lack scientific merit.”
