A government scientist was ousted after the Trump administration ignored his dire warnings about COVID-19 and a malaria drug President Donald Trump was pushing for the coronavirus despite scant evidence it helped, according to a whistleblower complaint Tuesday.Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, filed the complaint Tuesday with the Office of Special Counsel, a government agency responsible for whistleblower complaints.He alleges he was reassigned to a lesser role because he resisted political pressure to allow widespread use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug favored by Trump. He said the Trump administration wanted to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�flood바카라 게임 웹사이트� hot spots in New York and New Jersey with the drug.Bright also said the Trump administration rejected his warnings on COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. He said he 바카라 게임 웹사이트�acted with urgency바카라 게임 웹사이트� to address the growing spread of COVID-19 after the World Health Organization issued a warning in January.He said he 바카라 게임 웹사이트�encountered resistance from HHS leadership, including Health and Human Services Secretary (Alex) Azar, who appeared intent on downplaying this catastrophic event.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Video above: Despite FDA warnings, President Trump touts malaria drugBright alleges in the complaint that political appointees at the Department of Health and Human Services had tried to promote hydroxychloroquine 바카라 게임 웹사이트�as a panacea.바카라 게임 웹사이트� The officials also 바카라 게임 웹사이트�demanded that New York and New Jersey be 바카라 게임 웹사이트�flooded바카라 게임 웹사이트� with these drugs, which were imported from factories in Pakistan and India that had not been inspected by the FDA,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the complaint says.But Bright opposed broad use of the drug, arguing the scientific evidence wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t there to back up its use in coronavirus patients. He felt an urgent need to tell the public that there wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t enough scientific evidence to support using the drugs for COVID-19 patients, the complaint states.Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned doctors against prescribing the drug except in hospitals and research studies. In an alert, regulators flagged reports of sometimes fatal heart side effects among coronavirus patients taking hydroxychloroquine or the related drug chloroquine.The decades-old drugs, also prescribed for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause a number of side effects, including heart rhythm problems, severely low blood pressure and muscle or nerve damage.The complaint said officials had 바카라 게임 웹사이트�refused to listen or take appropriate action to accurately inform the public.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Bright said he had to tell the public about the lack of science backing up its use, despite the drug being pushed by the president as press briefings, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�to protect it from drugs which he believed constituted a substantial and specific danger to public health and safety,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the complaint says.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As the death toll mounted exponentially each day, Dr. Bright concluded that he had a moral obligation to the American public, including those vulnerable as a result of illness from COVID-19, to protect it from drugs which he believed constituted a substantial and specific danger to public health and safety,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the complaint says.On Jan. 20, according to the complaint, the WHO held an emergency call to discuss the novel coronavirus. It was attended by many HHS officials, and which WHO officials advised that 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the outbreak is a big problem.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Trump has accused the U.N. agency of mismanaging and covering up the spread of the virus after it emerged in China and said he would cut funding.In the complaint, Bright says he wants a full investigation and to be returned to his position as the director.A spokeswoman for HHS has said it was Bright who had requested an emergency use authorization for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. For his part, Bright said he had insisted that the authorization be limited to a restricted group of patients 바카라 게임 웹사이트� those hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 under the supervision of a doctor.
