WASHINGTON – A high-ranking government whistleblower who alleges the Trump administration fumbled its coronavirus response resigned Tuesday, saying he has been forced out. 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. The Food and Drug Administration ultimately revoked emergency authority for using the malaria drug to treat coronavirus patients. Trump, infected with the coronavirus and hospitalized over the weekend, is now back at the White House. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge.” He says he plans to return to the campaign trail.

Bright is a flu and infectious-disease expert with 10 years at the biomedical agency, which is known as BARDA. At NIH he was supposed to be working on coronavirus testing, but he is now alleging that he has been blocked. Bright said he argued successfully for limiting approved use of the drug to certain settings, such as hospitals treating COVID-19 patients. Trump has since revealed that he has taken hydroxycholoroquine, apparently to try to prevent infection after several White House staffers tested positive. The Food and Drug Administration recently revoked its emergency use approval for the drug, citing its known heart risks and unproven benefits against the coronavirus.
