The game changer in maybe not in maybe not but i think it could be based on what i see it could be a game changer dr bright contends his opposition to this position led directly to suspected demotion as officials sought to placate the president now a lot of what dr great a whistleblower complaint is about her demonstrate the extent to which the government at the higher level is committed not to solving the problem but to keeping down trump happy today keeping him happy to morrow and thats not a way to address a very major problem like this it was only a week ago that the f. D. A. For me cautioned against the use of these drugs for the treatment of coronavirus despite the warnings that dr brite made back in january perhaps the most damning allegation in the report is that the administration ignored or pushed back against dr brights emails warning of the severity of the virus and insisting that the National Stockpile of masks and ventilators needed to be augmented and like other government officials whove been demoted or fired dr bright is demanding his job back and congress will now get involved dr brights lawyers confirm hes been invited to give evidence to a House Committee on thursday next week mike hanna aljazeera washington.
