A U.S. government watchdog agency has recommended the temporary reinstatement of a whistleblower who says he was removed as director of a government research office because he raised concerns about coronavirus preparedness, his lawyers said on Friday.

Rick Bright, recently ousted director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, is seen in his official government handout portrait photo from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services taken in Washington, U.S. in 2017.

Bright had been director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, known as BARDA, tasked with developing a vaccine for the coronavirus. “To take me out of our organization focused on drugs and vaccines and diagnostics in the middle of a pandemic, the worst public health crisis that our country has faced in a century, and decapitate the BARDA organization to move me over to a very small-focused project of any scale, of any level of importance, is not responsible. It didn’t make sense,” Bright said in an interview with CBS that aired on Friday.

Corona ...made in china collaboration in usa... market worldwide...

Let me guess...they have no authority and no one listens to them

Fight against trump and his corrupt administration!!!!

Yes he should be reinstated!!!

This isn’t going to happen. He needs to go to the Gates Foundation where his talent will be immediately put to use. He can come back to BARDA under JoeBiden at which time those who pushed him out should be prosecuted.
