Ousting vaccine chief ‘is going to set us back,’ former FDA head says
26 April 2020 - Scott Gottlieb says Rick Bright’s departure is likely to be counterproductive.
Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the ouster of a top vaccine expert at the Department of Health and Human Services would likely set back efforts to quickly roll out a vaccine for the coronavirus.
Asked in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" whether forcing out Rick Bright as director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority would have an impact, Gottlieb responded, "It's hard to say it doesn't."
