The federal scientist who was ousted last month as director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority has filed a whistleblower complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.
At the time of his removal, Bright said he had been ousted because of his "insistence" that the government spend funds on "safe and scientifically vetted solutions" to address the coronavirus crisis and not on "drugs, vaccines and other technologies that lack scientific merit."
so basically he didn't want to fundany research into possible treatments? During a pandemic? No wonder they sidelined him. He's a moron. BARDA is about research. You have to fund research into possible treatments and technologies to "scientifically vet" them.
The moron is Trump for firing the top vaccine reseach professional, in his administration, during a pandemic! Just like he fired another top official in the CDC a week or so ago, Dr. Messonnier. Trump demands, as all dictators do, loyalty to himself, not to scientific facts.Last edited by JimL; 05-06-2020, 02:42 PM.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, the fact is that the Hydoxycloroquine had already been tested and was found to be useless as a treatment, as well as to have dangerous side effects. Trump wanted to put them on the market anyway because he had a hunch they would be his miracle cure. Besides that, Dr. Bright and the other professionals who signed on to the recomendation against their use were only making the recomendation which apparently Trump was intent on ignoring. Apparently Dr. Bright made the science recommending against its use public, and that is what got under the dictators skin. Dr. Bright it seems, according to his complaint, like many of those being fired by Trump, resisted his unscientific and cronyism based decisions, and that, according to the Administration, was being insubordinate. In other words he believes he was fired for doing his job rather than doing the dictators bidding and keeping his mouth shut about it

But the real point is, Bright is saying he doesn't even want to find out by funding clinical trials on HCL to see. He wants to only fund things that are already scientifically proven treatments (hint: there were none when he got moved). Glad they moved him.
Also Trump didn't fire him. And he was moved, not fired. Trump didn't even know who he was when reporters asked him. He is way below Trump's pay grade.

1) Bright will be dragged through the mud by right wing media - this article is the first salvo.
2) Breitbart is not a reliable source - especially on the subject of any of Trump's detractors. They will produce articles that attack him in whatever way possible regardless of what the truth is. Now if the man is lying or is hiding things that are bad, those articles might well be true. But if not, they will be false. The one thing we know for sure though is that whatever the truth is, articles in breitbart will be focused on denigrating him and/or nullifying his accusations.
Which is one of the reasons why Breitbart is mostly a propaganda rag, not a news source.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 05-06-2020, 06:34 PM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAs the late Paul Harvey used to say, "And now, the rest of the story..."
Dr. Rick Bright, the vaccine expert who claims he was ousted from his former position in the administration because of his opposition to the promotion of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus, was already going to lose his job months before, according to information released on Twitter by Politico reporter Dan Diamond. [...] Diamond revealed a text message Wednesday, which he received Jan. 2, about Brights imminent removal from BARDA for incompetence and insubordination. That was months before hydroxychloroquine became a topic of debate.
Diamond later reported that in internal emails, Dr. Bright had praised the administrations acquisition of the drug...
Freelance journalist Jeryl Bier provided a letter from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) referring to a request from Dr. Bright for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for hydroxychloroquine and related compounds for treatment...
https://www.breitbart.com/health/202...subordination/
First off, Dr. Bright never suggested that he wasn't under scrutiny earlier on, as the Dan Diamond tweet suggests, only that he was ultimately fireddue to the Hydroxychloroquine issue. As a matter of fact, Dr. Bright explicitly stated that he had been under constant pressure to do the political bidding of the Administration, not just for this issue. And if Trump was actually intent on firing him back in January, then why did Trump, when recently asked about the firing, say, "who, I don't even know the man, never heard of him."
And as far as his requesting an EUA from the FDA; that doesn't mean the request was his idea. Obviously the whole idea came from Trump who is Dr. Brights boss. The Administration also tried to pass of Dr. Brights ousting "as a promotion". You have to read between the out of contexts tweets, MM, when you are reading Breitbart news.

Hypocrisy much?
And likewise, you won't get any argument from me that Maddow is a left leaning pundit. Or that CNN has a left leaning bias and doesn't like Trump.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

I generally include them in my list of legitimate news sites, but I often note their conservative bias and the fact they are part of the 'rally around Trump' media sources - especially wrt their hour long pundits like hannity etc. But the are a NEWS organization, not a propaganda site.
