Earlier this week President Trump fired Rick Bright, who was leading the federal agency tasked with developing a vaccine for coronavirus.
Dr. Bright was fired because he refused to recommend hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 despite the lack of studies proving its efficacy and early indications of increased mortality. Dr. Bright has announced he will be filing a whistleblower complaint against the Trump Administration.
The Senate needs to investigate Dr. Bright's firing and the Administration's actions to encourage the use of unproven drugs. I am also calling on the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to launch an inquiry into what happened.
Add your name here to demand that Trump stop endangering us by attacking medical professionals for sticking to the scientific evidence and doing their jobs to protect the American people!
This dangerous pattern of trying to silence top health experts in favor of promoting politically motivated messages and 'quack' ideas is getting worse daily.
Yesterday on national TV Trump suggested that scientists explore inserting DISINFECTANT into the bodies of individuals with coronavirus to clear them from the disease — and implied that Americans might try this strategy themselves!
Trump needs to know the American people are watching this show of incompetence — and we are angry. Sign here if you agree.
The Trump Administration’s malpractice has already led to unnecessary deaths and extended the length and pain of the pandemic in our country.
We can't afford to brush this off as "standard Trump operating procedures."
Sign here if you agree.
We’re in this together,
Chris
