Fake News: Trump Didn't Fire Vaccine Chief for Questioning Hydroxychloroquine
|
[PJMedia] Dr. Rick Bright, an official leading the administration's efforts to create a coronavirus vaccine because he questioned hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for COVID-19. Other outlets also pushed the narrative. In truth, Bright championed the use of hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus — and he hired the lawyers who represented Brett Kavanaugh's sexual assault accuser Christine Blasey Ford.
It appears Bright was fired for other reasons that have nothing to do with hydroxychloroquine — which has proven effective against COVID-19 in many cases when administered in conjunction with other drugs that minimize side-effects — but that Ford's lawyers crafted this narrative as the perfect foil to attack Trump for firing him.
Dr. Bright, who served as director of the Department of Health and Human Services' Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), specifically asked the FDA to issue an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the emergency use of "oral formulations of chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate for the treatment of 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19)."
One staffer who spoke to Politico's Dan Diamond said Bright was fired for completely different reasons: "incompetence and insubordination."
None of this prevented Bright from hiring Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, Ford's lawyers in the Kavanaugh hearings.
Bright has announced he will file a whistleblower complaint. Apparently he and his lawyers think their narrative will prevail.
Bright has been transferred to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Yet it appears many media outlets are rushing to champion Bright's claims because they are a convenient cudgel with which to attack Trump.
