'Ousted' US vaccine expert Rick Bright to file whistleblower complaint

A vaccine expert who says he lost his job because he disagreed with Donald Trump's claims about treatments for Covid-19 is to file a whistleblower complaint, his lawyers say.

Dr Rick Bright led the US government agency trying to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus.

He says he was ousted for questioning the potential of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug touted by Mr Trump. President Trump said he had "never heard" of Dr Bright. The president has previously mentioned the use of hydroxychloroquine and the related drug chloroquine as a possible "game changer" for Covid-19. However, many experts have cautioned that hydroxychloroquine could be ineffective, or even dangerous.

"In our filing we will make clear that Dr Bright was sidelined for one reason only - because he resisted efforts to provide unfettered access to potentially dangerous drugs, including chloroquine, a drug promoted by the administration as a panacea, but which is untested and possibly deadly when used improperly," a statement from the doctor's lawyers said.

But Politico reports that in internal emails Dr Bright praised the health department's recent acquisition of tens of millions of doses of those drugs.

"If Bright opposed hydroxychloroquine, he certainly didn't make that clear from his email - quite the opposite," an unnamed official told Politico.

Bright: "While I am prepared to look at all options and to think 'outside the box' for effective treatments, I rightly resisted efforts to provide an unproven drug on demand to the American public," Dr Bright said.

Asked about the row during the daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday, President Trump responded: "I've never heard of him."

His choice of lawyers was sort of a clue.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the President. My gut says Fauci did this guy in as he didn’t like the competition and Bright refused to KHA.
