During a congressional hearing Thursday, the Trump administration secretary for Health and Human Services answered questions apparently drawn from a coronavirus whistleblower’s complaint, before the complaint went public.
“I’d want to know the full facts, and we’d take appropriate remedial retaliatory measures,” Azar said.
Fixed it for him.
Can someone remind us who the fuck this Azar clown is and why Trump liked him enough to give him this job?
Secretary of Health and Human Services who used to be a lobbyist for Big Pharma.
Aaaaaaah, “this is a vaccine sales opportunity…hold off on the response…”
Also he was once an exec in a big pharma co.
OT
But with all that’s going on making Trump mad as hell,I guess the wheels will really come off soon.Channel surfing I see Faux is having a Town Hall with Amy Klobuchar.
Big Pharma lawyer and son of a former president of the Maryland State Medical Society.
This guy would have made a great tap dancer. He denies that improper procedures were used, then says that proper measures should have been taken. Whose job is it to see that, that happens?
Heads have to roll, Hacks have to leave and the pros have to be able to do their job unhindered.
You do know who is in charge of the administration I’m guessing so the chances of those things happening are totally nil.
Yep, noose tightening, walls closing in, etc. DJT was impeached, shown to be corrupt. And his minions protected him and prop him up. He rolls on.
Which is probably why Kudlow and Mnuchin are on the WH task force.
Well, that and because what they’re all really concerned about isn’t the virus but the DOW, etc.
At this point I don’t trust anyone in this administration named Alex.
Azar is in a fuck ton of trouble, as is the administration. And the tells in the Post piece are these (bolded):
The whistleblower said she received an email Jan. 25 about a potential deployment within ACF to support repatriation of the evacuated Americans, according to her lawyer. She initially supported the efforts because they had the “appearance that this was within ACF’s scope,” Naylor said. But later, she discovered the teams were dispatched without her knowledge by other senior officials at HHS . It was part of the agency’s “all-hands-on-deck” mission, Naylor said, but it broke agency protocol about what kinds of employees should respond to health emergencies. The whistleblower said she later found out about the deployment when she heard directly from some employees and other senior officials at HHS.
Some workers expressed concern about the lack of protective gear to the ACF team leader on the ground. That person joined ACF in September and had “no training or experience in any federal emergency management, public health emergency response, or safety or operational protocols to run the mission,” the complaint states.
Bottom line is that Trumpy political appointees were the ones who fucked it up. This story will blow up big time, with names to come out, over the next few days. Who were these Trumpy Political hacks?
And now it appears that the northern california case (on a resperator at UC Davis) was not tested for CV-19 as she had not been to China, and CDC was not allowing tests even when her doctors asked for it. And oh, she appears to have had contacts with 8,000 people…
This may be 10x the story in a few days it is now.
Typical Trumpy, corrupt as fuck, per Wiki:
" American attorney, politician, pharmaceutical lobbyist, and former drug company executive"
every bit off corruption, all in one little man…
Over/under on number of Scaramucci’s before this guy quits or is fired?
Will Trump fight a disease infecting Californians?
He should receive a subpoena from the appropriate House committee tomorrow and then be asked his opinions in a way that in no way could possibly be said to invoke executive privilege.
