Ousted HHS official Rick Bright, in written testimony, says officials were 'dismissive' of his coronavirus warnings

A former government scientist who filed a whistleblower complaint claiming he was removed from his post for disagreeing with the Trump administration’s response to coronavirus said that officials at the Department of Health and Human Services were “dismissive” of his warning about the contagion and said that if the government doesn’t follow his guidance “2020 will be the darkest winter in modern history.”
