This may signal the Trump admin does not want to go to war over this guy's demotion. Why? Because a thorough investigation will expose the admin's utter corruption with respect to the unfounded promotion of hydroxychloroquine.

So he was demoted for saying people shouldn't take hydroxychloroquine???

So he was demoted for saying people shouldn't take hydroxychloroquine???

He was demoted for suggesting that science should dictate policy with respect to the drug, not opinions or the connections of people promoting it.

“OSC further advised that in light of this determination, it would contact the Department of Health and Human Services (‘HHS’) to request that it stay Dr. Bright’s removal as Director of BARDA for 45 days to allow OSC sufficient time to complete its investigation of Bright’s allegations,” Bright’s lawyers, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, added.

IOW, his claim that his demotion was retaliatory has merit.

What's this, silence from the zombiepods!

No snarky comments about the OSC finding merit in the complaint Bright was demoted as retribution for disagreeing with the admin's advocacy of hydroxychloroquine?

“I am not disgruntled,” Bright told CBS News reporter Norah O’Donnell. “I am frustrated at a lack of leadership. I am frustrated at a lack of urgency to get a head start on developing lifesaving tools for Americans. I’m frustrated at our inability to be heard as scientists. Those things frustrate me.”

The unprecedented stonewalling by this lawless admin continues unabated.

Until last month, Bright led the Department of Health and Human Services’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). He alleges that his removal from that post was an act of retaliation by Trump administration officials because he resisted a push by the White House to promote unproven coronavirus treatments using hydroxychloroquine.

Conservative media’s reaction to Rick Bright: Who’s that?

Instead of launching a scorched-earth campaign, Trump-friendly pundits, like the president, have mostly ignored Bright’s allegations that Trump mismanaged the coronavirus response.

>>> Until recently, Bright was director of the of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, one of several HHS offices working on COVID-19 response. Bright has alleged that political considerations and cronyism hampered the government’s response to the pandemic.<<<

Some government asshole is trying out for William Shakespeare, "the Bard" ...

Unfortunately the alleged "pandemic" has no other component than "political considerations and cronyism" and any government response to it only amounts to disinformation, propaganda, and forcible measures to be imposed on us against our will.

All that science has to deliver is an effective vaccine!

Anything outside of this has been gobbly-gook: don't wear a mask then wear a mask, stay 6 ft. apart, then 15 ft. apart, then back to 6 ft. apart, etc., etc..

All that science has to deliver is an effective vaccine!

We have too many already, many of which have been shown to be ineffective, dangerous, and unnecessary.
The administration of subdermal or intravenous shots to kids on an involuntary basis is an effective way to put in place the machinery of mass murder and population control which will inevitably take place unless we succeed in throwing off the imminent coup d'état by a foreign-influenced racketeering Biden administration.
