A former top US health official has told Congress the country could face its "darkest winter in modern history" because of the coronavirus.

Rick Bright led the government agency trying to develop a vaccine, but was removed from his post last month.

He has previously said he was ousted from the job for raising concern over a treatment being touted by President Donald Trump.

The US leader dismissed him as a "disgruntled" employee.

[[The US leader dismissed him as a “disgruntled” employee.]]

More like a whiny little grudge carrier- yo know the type- they were present when the left held their witch hunt sham ‘investigation’ and hearings against Donald Trump about russia russia russia- none of them had any credibility either- Cpl Vindman, and ilk- all these folks out to get Trump because their party lost-

This new fella is just a regurgitation of the same lies and deceit from the left- won’t go anywhere despite CNN howling about how damning it is-

Yeah, the position of federal coronavirus doomcaller is already taken by Fauci. This idiot should try getting on the global warming panic train.

monitored BBC World Sce radio yesterday and did not hear A SINGLE WORD about the UNAMASKERS, but plenty about Bright.

ditto on all counts for Australian taxpayer-funded ABC, who followed the same meme on this, while totally ignoring the UNMASKERS:

AUDIO: 2m59s: 15 May: ABC Australia AM: The “Darkest winter in modern history”: Former top vaccine official
By Kathryn Diss
The “darkest winter in modern history.”
That’s what America’s former top vaccine official says could be coming in the US if the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t contained.
Testifying to Congress, Dr Rick Bright claims he was demoted from his role for raising concerns about the Federal Government’s handling of the crisis and its promotion of unproven drugs to treat the virus.

And he says thousands of lives have been needlessly lost because of the slow response.

Previous thread on Rick Bright: NYT Story About Ousted HHS Director Rick Bright Starts To Crumble Almost Instantly

Says he was removed for opposing HQL, when at the time he was pushing for a Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for it. The real reason he was fired:

"“The move was more than a year in the making — Bright had clashed with department leaders about his decisions and the scope of his authority — but came abruptly, said five current and former HHS officials,” Politico reported."

He tried to go beyond his bosses who had enough and eventually fired him. Not getting along with one boss is bad enough, not getting along with several simultaneously is a guaranteed ticket out the door.

lol

This has gotten so annoying.

If ONE life is saved, it was ALL worth it and is STILL worth it.

No it wasn’t and isn’t.

It’s a false and impossible narrative

Because someone will die from the stay indoors order, whether it’s from suicide or stress or whatever.

People die. Once they’re born they get that disease.

And their ain’t no curing it.

"What does this guy know?"

He knows how to be an obnoxious, insubordinate, overbearing prig. It's what got him removed from his job.
