Dr. Rick Bright's Whistleblower Complaint Documents All Camp Runamuck's Mal- and Non-Feasance
Undoubtedly, he's going to be the Blue Plate Special at Cafe Hannity for a while now.

Dr. Rick Bright, whom the geniuses down at Camp Runamuck pushed out of his job as the Department of Health and Human Servicess Deputy Assistant Director for Preparedness and Response, and the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, filed a formal whistleblower complaint on Tuesday afternoon. It's a detailed and compelling account of the administration*'s mal- and non-feasance regarding the pandemic. There is willful blindness, and a muttonheaded combination of stupidity and cupidity that, you should pardon the expression, is utterly breathtaking.
Undoubtedly, Bright is going to be the Blue Plate Special at Cafe Hannity for a while now, but what he details in his complaint is pretty much unspinnable. He has arraigned the administration on charges of negligent homicide by willful blindness and his case seems ironclad. In the complaint, Bright says that, while he was at HHS, he experienced...
"I insisted on scientifically vetted proposals, and I pushed for a more aggressive agency response to COVID-19. My supervisor became furious when Congress appropriated billions of dollars directly to my office, and when I spoke directly to members of Congress.
A primary casus belli between Bright and the upper echelons at HHS, and especially between Bright and his immediate supervisor, Dr. Robert Kadlec, apparently was the latters sweet tooth for untried and untested quick-fix nostrums, and also Kadlecs ties to a pharmaceutical lobbyist named John Clerici....
Clerici, Bright says, did more than simply lobby for government contracts. He also participated in HHS meetings regarding the best techniques for fighting the pandemic. He describes a meeting in which Clerici and a doctor affiliated with Emory Universitys drug innovation company pushed hard for a drug that they said was a cure-all, not only for COVID-19, but also for influenza, Ebola, and all manner of infectious viral diseases.
As I mentioned, you can count on Brights being slandered by the usual suspects as the administration* and its collaborators rush ahead willy-nilly to reopen America and, once thats done, wash their hands of the whole business while people die all over the country. Rick Bright has produced the first bill of indictment for us, and we will be the ultimate jury.
