5:16Now PlayingWATCH: Whistleblower Rick Bright says country missed ‘critical steps’ to prepare for pandemic
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelVaccine expert Rick Bright told lawmakers May 14 that government officials “could have done better” to take early action to address the coronavirus. Bright added that his efforts to push more swift response were “not responded to with action” and he was removed from key meetings on COVID-19 as a result of his urgency. Bright testified before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s health subcommittee in a hearing dedicated to “protecting scientific integrity” of the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. In a whistleblower complaint filed last week, Bright said he was reassigned to a different position in late April for pushing back against the Trump administration’s virus response strategy.
