Dumbass above doesn't understand that there is no contradiction in anything in those emails. You could be for acquisition of something potentially useful, doesn't mean you have to declare it a cure when it is not. Trumptards just love to say fake news to support the orange baboon scammer.
what happens when whistleblowers give their name; nothing, cultists gonna cult: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireS...d-white-house-virus-failures-resigns-73462491 Whistleblower who alleged White House virus failures resigns A high-ranking government whistleblower who alleges the Trump administration fumbled its coronavirus response has resigned, saying he has been forced out Lawyers for Dr. Rick Bright said he was sidelined at the National Institutes of Health, where he had been transferred this spring after being ousted as head of a biodefense agency. Attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks said NIH superiors ignored a national coronavirus testing strategy that Bright developed because he had become politically toxic within the Trump administration. “NIH leadership declined to support Dr. Bright’s recommendations because of political considerations, plain and simple,” the lawyers said. “This was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. He can no longer countenance working for an administration that puts politics over science to the great detriment of the American people.” Bright had filed a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel, a government agency that investigates whistleblower allegations. He added to his complaint Tuesday, saying his departure from the government comes under duress. Bright went public with his complaint in May, alleging he had been summarily removed as agency head because he resisted pressure to flood the New York area with hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug that President Donald Trump was touting as a treatment for COVID-19. Bright also alleged that his early efforts to secure supplies of N95 respirator masks for health care workers were rebuffed by higher-ups at HHS, who saw him as an alarmist. Shortages of personal protective equipment have been an ongoing concern for hospitals and nursing homes. Bright later testified before Congress that the U.S. continued to lack a fully developed strategy to battle the coronavirus, warning that the nation could face the “the darkest winter in modern history” if there is a resurgence. Bright's lawyers said the testing plan he developed, and his superiors rejected, emphasized screening for people who show no symptoms of COVID-19 but may be spreading it unwittingly, as well as a focus on Blacks, Latinos and other people who have borne a disproportionately high toll.
