Rick Bright, a top government vaccine scientist who warned earlier this year that the Trump administration’s COVID-19 response had been politicized, took to CNN on Thursday to blast the President’s messaging on COVID-19 as “reckless and deadly.”
Not typical science talk - this guy could run for office. Go get 'em, Rick. And thank you.
And now we know why he resigned, to be able to speak freely. A few commenters owe him an apology.
I still believe all these folks who Trump has tried to destroy challenge Trump to a public debate.
It will never happen but listening to Trump backing out and going crazy would be fun.
“The messaging that President Trump gave to America and the world when he left the hospital about there is no need to be afraid of this virus is probably the most reckless and deadly piece of information I have ever heard,” Bright said.
Give him five minutes.
Even those of us who follow the news closely get so used to Trump’s exagerrations and lies that we let them go by without thinking. This clarity is much needed.
So the White House is pushing a virtual format to confirm a United States Supreme Court justice - a lifetime position on the highest court of the land - but rejects that format for a presidential candidates' debate. Okay.

Here’s some fun news:
I see a Bright future for this one.
I believe what is in order later this month is for one of the Dem groups/Allied groups to put together a highlight reel of the crazy shit Trump has said. I know that the public has time to sit through 200 minutes of highlights from 2019-20, but sometime in late 2019, even during impeachment he wasn’t this bad. So was KAC keeping him calm? Who else resigned, or quit that would have enough influence over Trump to tamp down the crazy?
His brain resigned. Neurons can only take so much.
Oh Synapse!
I would qualify the vaccine fast-track as reckless, stupid and fucking expensive. Six companies have gone to industrial-scale production of vaccines that have not been approved (and they won’t be for a while, if ever). You don’t get a baby by getting nine women pregnant and waiting a month. You can get one if one woman gets pregnant and you wait nine months. That’s just how the universe works.
Well, it’s a gray area.
Jesus, you guys are good.
Don’t invoke Jaysus - it doesn’t stem from religion.
Not that his brain was working all that well.
But if you promise the women billions of dollars to come up with a baby by certain date, one of them will get creative and bring a platypus wrapped in diapers and a cap and say its a baby. You would of course look away because you don’t really care if it’s a human baby or not just be able to say that you have one. Then you and the woman can split the billions.
After testing positive for the virus last week, President Trump called an experimental antibody cocktail that he had been given a “cure.” It was developed with cells originally derived from fetal tissue, a practice his administration has moved to restrict.
Sad how anybody who has expertise, who wants to do the right thing that’s good for the people in this country, has to separate themselves from the president and his administration.
Trump has touched the country, the Republican party, and the federal government and administrative branch of the government …
and ETTD.
