In his first interview since leaving the government, Dr. Rick Bright told CNNs Jake Tapper that government scientists are very seriously concerned that President Donald Trump will rewrite science or come up with fake science to justify their politics.
Dr. Bright initially was reassigned to the NIH while he was working on developing a coronavirus vaccine and therapeutics for the COVID-19 outbreak. He suspected it was politically motivated because he refused to push Hydroxychloroquine, a drug that Trump falsely decided would cure the coronavirus. The president has since backed off of Hydroxychloroquine being a miracle or a cure-all."
He went on to say that he was horrified that he would get a call from the White House saying that they needed to find a way to inject disinfectant into people. That wasnt a joke, Dr. Bright told Tapper, dispelling the claim from Trump that his comment was a joke.
More at link. Maybe he will be part of 25th meetings?

Perhaps he will be helpful with Nancy's 25th initiative? Even if it doesn't go anywhere due to repuke interference, as expected, at least people will be made aware...
