Vaccine Expert Who Blew Whistle on Trump's Coronavirus Response Resigns
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration's former top vaccine chief resigned Tuesday,
six months after he was demoted for blowing the whistle on President
Trump's promotion of untested drugs for COVID-19 and nepotism in the
Department of Health and Human Services. In an amended whistleblower
complaint, Dr. Rick Bright says he'd been assigned no meaningful work in
over a month because of political grudges.
