Office of Special Counsel says 'reasonable grounds' to believe vaccine official’s ouster was retaliatory, lawyers say
Bright alleges in the complaint that Kadlec and others pressured him to buy drugs and medical products for the
from companies that were linked politically to Kadlec, and that he resisted such efforts. One current and one former senior administration official contested the allegations against Kadlec. HHS has not publicly addressed the contents of the complaint.In his complaint, Bright portrays himself as trying to sound the alarm about the virus beginning in early January.
The complaint describes one clash in mid-March, after Bayer offered to donate 3 million chloroquine pills to the national stockpile, which is run by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. BARDA officials raised concerns over the donation because of a lack of evidence over the drug’s safety or efficacy for covid-19.
The Bayer donation ultimately went forward. Bright received an “urgent directive” from HHS General Counsel Bob Charrow to make the drug widely accessible, outside of hospital settings and without close physician supervision, according to the complaint.“Dr. Bright should not be denied the right to have his complaint investigated fully and fairly before he is formally transferred to NIH — a move that will harm not only him, but the country as well.
