Facts vs. Blather
The stir that Dr. Rick Bright’s whistleblower complaint on cronyism and other swamp-like practices in HHS’s BARDA has produced a flurry of claims, counter-claims and “news” that seems to bury some of the key facts of the matter. It has already created wider and deeper amounts of muck that obscure the facts he claims due to the implications they raise about our country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
How can we know what’s actually true among the thickening mist of allegations and ad hominem obfuscations? How about starting at the very beginning? Dr. Bright reveals in his complaint that he is a very competent person and, at least, keeps a detailed daily diary.
Read the complaint itself to learn what Dr. Bright alleges; don’t expect any news media source to interpret it faithfully! It’s only a few dozen typed pages, free online and quite interesting.
Certainly, the political implications are embarrassing and hotly contested.
It would all amount to typical “swamp gas” except for the possible conclusion that the inept and/or illegal actions of Trump’s Administration at the start of, and during, the “COVID-19 Crisis” claimed by Dr. Bright may have significantly contributed to the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of our fellow citizens and the major economic distress to our people, country and our unprepared Federal & State Governments and Medical Systems.
