"Although not allowed at NIH to utilize his expertise in vaccines or therapeutics, Dr. After having his work suppressed for political reasons to the detriment of public health and safety, Dr. Bright was sidelined from doing any further work to combat this deadly virus," they said. He can no longer countenance working for an administration that puts politics over science to the great detriment of the American people."
