Rick Bright, the federal vaccine chief-turned-whistleblower who was reassigned to a different agency and subsequently criticized the Trump administration's pandemic response, has left the federal government, Bright's lawyers announced today
with the Office of Special Counsel, Bright said that he was assigned "no meaningful work" at NIH since Sept. 4, further alleging that NIH Director Francis Collins "declined to support" his recommendations about coronavirus testing "because of political considerations.
HHS has spent months rebuffing Bright's claims, saying that as vaccine chief he lacked full visibility into the administration's efforts and noting that Bright played a key role in the government's acquisition of hydroxychloroquine. The health department also issued a document called "CLAIM vs. REALITY" that sought to rebut Bright's points.
