The Transitional Committee of the president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, announced a list of Task Force (TF) teams made up of 13 public health experts who will respond to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
According to CNN and New York Times (NYT) on the 9th (local time), the list includes the former director of the Biological Advanced Research and Development Administration (BARDA) of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (BARDA), who was expelled from the Donald Trump administration after expressing concern over Corona 19’s response.
Former Director Bright is a person who filed a complaint for opposing the use of hydroxychloroquine, a treatment for malaria, as a treatment for Corona 19, but was retaliated against due to political pressure.
Former Director Bright attended the House of Representatives in May and testified that “the current government does not have a single leadership to respond to Corona 19, and there is no master plan.” In addition, the government has personal protective equipment such as N95 masks for medical workers. “From that moment I knew that a crisis would come for our health workers because we did not take action,” he said.
CNN noted that the inclusion of former Director Bright on the Corona 19 TF is a clear sign that Biden is trying to show a contrasting direction with the Trump administration.
Biden’s COVID-19 TF is co-chaired by former surgeon Vivek Mercy, former member of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Marcela Nunes-Smith, professor at Yale University School of Medicine.
Among the 13 other members were Dr. Luciana Borio, a senior member of the World Health Council of the American Foreign Relations Association, and Dr. Jeke Emanuel, who was a health advisor at the time of the Obama administration and the designer of Obama Care.
Earlier in a press conference, the elected Biden said: “Infection rates (Corona 19), hospitalization rates and death rates are increasing.” “If we wear masks over the next few months, we can save tens of thousands of lives. The lives of Americans, neither Democrats nor Republicans, depend. “
Biden said “good news” to the news that the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine produced positive results in the Phase 3 interim analysis, but said: “Even if this vaccine is approved, it will not be widely available in the next months”. I raised a cautious opinion.
