Rick Bright: Ex-pandemic preparedness chief calls Trump’s tweet urging Americans not to fear Covid-19 ‘reckless and deadly’

CNN  

CNN — The former director of the office involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine blasted President Donald Trump on Thursday for urging Americans not to live in fear of the virus, calling the President’s words “probably the most reckless and deadly piece of information” he’s ever heard. The messaging that President Trump gave to America and the world when he left the hospital about there is no need to be afraid of this virus is probably the most reckless and deadly piece of information I have ever heard,” Dr. Rick Bright told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead.” Bright, who filed an extensive whistleblower complaint last spring alleging that his early warnings about the coronavirus had been ignored and that his caution about using hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 had led to his removal, noted that the deadly virus is easily transmittable because it’s airborne. Bright, who resigned earlier this week from his post at the National Institutes of Health, went on to criticize Trump’s insistence that there be a vaccine before the November election, telling Tapper that it’s “irresponsible and reckless for the President of the United States to drive the evaluation of something as critical as a vaccine to meet an election timeline.” “He’s mentioned it on numerous occasions, that he wants the vaccine before the election. In a tweet Tuesday night, Trump slammed new rules from the Food and Drug Administration that would make it nearly impossible for a vaccine to be approved ahead of the election, calling them a “political hit job.” Bright on Thursday also blasted Trump’s comments earlier this year about the possibility that disinfectants could be used to treat coronavirus in people, saying he was “horrified” by the suggestion.
