Stories of Americans
After former top vaccine official Rick Bright maintained Sunday that the federal government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been slow and chaotic, President Trump responded in a late-night tweetstorm, saying that whistleblowers like Bright are “causing great injustice and harm” to the nation.In an interview with “60 Minutes,” Bright, the former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, criticized the government for failing to have a clear plan in place to address the totality of the American outbreak. The developments caused the Food and Drug Administration last month to warn against using hydroxychloroquine outside a hospital setting, a warning that came weeks after the drug was approved for an emergency use authorization.Drug promoted by Trump as coronavirus ‘game changer’ increasingly linked to deathsOn Sunday, Bright outlined again, much like he did in his whistleblower complaint, how Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, the boss of his department, allegedly downplayed the threat as early as January.“Why would he do that?” asked correspondent Norah O’Donnell, referring to Azar.“You know, I don’t know why he would do that,” Bright responded.The Department of Health and Human Services has publicly rebutted Bright’s claims, saying his complaint was “filled with one-sided arguments and misinformation,” according to “60 Minutes.” The president also questioned Bright’s critique of Azar.“How can a creep like this show up to work tomorrow & report to @SecAzar, his boss, after trashing him on T.V.?” Trump tweeted, tagging Azar.
