Ousted vaccine director warns of "darkest winter in modern history" without better coronavirus responseRick Bright, ousted deputy assistant secretary for preparedness and response for Health and Human Services , speaks during a House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee hearing in Washington on March 8, 2018. Toya Sarno Jordan/Bloomberg/Getty Imagescharged with developing medical countermeasures, will testify before Congress tomorrow.
"Our window of opportunity is closing. If we fail to develop a national coordinated response, based in science, I fear the pandemic will get far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and fatalities," Bright is expected to say according to his prepared testimony obtained by CNN."Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I and other experts have outlined, 2020 will be darkest winter in modern history.
Bright is seeking to be reinstated to his position as the head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority . The Office of Special Counsel, which is reviewing Bright's complaint, has determined there is reason to believe his removal was retaliatory and is recommending he be reinstated during its investigation, according to Bright's attorneys.
"As I reflect on the past few months of this outbreak, it is painfully clear that we were not as prepared as we should have been. We missed early warning signals and we forgot important pages from our pandemic playbook," Bright will testify, according to his written testimony.
